    For today's GGQ, I decided to explore the controversial elimination of Valentina. At first, I was just gonna be discussing MaskGate, but as I was putting together information for the video, It kept getting longer & longer, until I ended up with a video that's over 20 minutes long. - That being said, I think it's actually a pretty entertaining video.

Derrick invokes Stonewall, and the host calls her bluff and says 'yeah Derrick why don't u tell us what Stonewall was.' Derrick short-circuts and says it was 'Fighting for gay rights...ppl were killed...' and Willam cuts her off. "No one was killed at Stonewall.' Derrick kinda trails off, and the interview continues. It's all in good fun though, and Derrick has since developed a sense of humor.

    Fun fact: The red m&ms thing comes from the band Van Halen. Back in the the David Lee Roth days they used a lot of pyrotechnics and after a few scares. They started to put that they wanted only brown m&ms as part of their rider to make sure that the promoters were paying attention to their list of requests and needs at every venue.

The whole "skinny is what you want to be" messaging even as a joke can be harmful and with plus-size queens/people being a significant part of the community it wouldn't hurt to be more thoughtful with her words even when joking. She can be proud of her beauty without bringing weight into it :) Valentina has also mentioned she's struggled with eating disorders in the past so focusing on how skinny she is is also harmful in that sense.

    I remember showing my straight guy friend (who has never seen RPDR) the first episode of season 9 and he instantly fell in love with Valentina. He was rooting for her until she was eliminated and was pretty sad after it. I think it shows the charisma of Val and how spectacular she is that even straight guys that know nothing of queer culture and drag in general fall for her and get interested in the show:)

    I wasn't watching the show yet, when this was going down in real time. So at 8:00, I was worried you were gonna say Valentina was mad at Shea for bringing it up in such detail. It's actually pretty sweet to see that Valentina was instead grateful for the clarification & closure. Sounds like she disassociated hard, in that moment.
    Disassociation (and the memory loss from it) is a totally believable thing to happen to someone in that situation and I'm surprised people thought she would be lying??? It's neuro-response to situations stressful enough to cause trauma. She got chewed out by one of her idols for the world to see. I've experienced it, but never on that level, that's for sure.
    Ik people like to be all tough love about people choosing to stand in the tv limelight to be a star; but we can still have compassion for when people make mistakes; especially with such a large audience.

  • @nastykidneys3075
    @nastykidneys3075 2 роки тому +27

    Honestly Valentines initial elimination plus the fact she didn’t win all stars (with a admittedly emotional ending) has completely cemented her as a drag race legend and of course the ultimate fan favourite, I truly think if she had won season 9 (in the hypothetical scenario where she removed the mask and did know her words) or all stars she wouldn’t be as loved as she is.
    I think a issue with more newer seasons is they’ll excuse queens lack of ability in challenges or lip syncs to either drive story lines or because they believe they’ll be fan favourites, when in reality all this does is hurt their credibility which is completely not in their control and causes them a lot of hate. The producers honestly just need to realise all the fans want is for the competition to be that, a fair competition. Sure we love drama so some behind the scenes tinkering is fine, but not to the degree it’s became.
