The word "fish" originated in the gay community to refer to women, and became a term of endearment within drag to refer to queens who pursued passing femininity in their performances. Recently, some feminists have grown critical of the language, insistent that it is body shaming of cis women and based on gross stereotypes about the smell of clam. What do you think, is fish a campy term of endearment or a misogynistic slur of yesteryear? Let's discuss.
Dunno, drag queen is low taste
>>44612095I am nearly 30 years old and have been gay for every single second of them, and this is the first time in my life i have ever seen that term
>>44612095fake news>>44612100why?
>>44612095It sounds like a slur, yes, especially when my trans-gf says things like "I'm smellin' tuna!".
>>44612122What do you mean why? It is mockery, a joke that isn't funny, and the "slur" is one of many proofs of it, it's like taking clowns seriously, well they are basically clowns.
drag queens are cool and i like that people get butthurt over them
>Seeing something from above>hear faint raspy voice>>yyou are butthurtUh huh
>>44612137I always thought that costumes were manifestations of feminine archetypes (current or not), not just random buffoonery. never been apart of that culture though.
>>44612095No it's not, but it should be. The more the merrier, I love saying slurs.
>>44612095>Recently, some feminists have grown critical of the languageNot recent, feminists have had discourse around the way males in the community use that word for over a decade.It's obviously derogatory in the same way that if lesbians referred to men as their genitals and called men "worms", that would be derogatory. It's playing dumb to act like the intent isn't to be reductive and gross.
Their pussies do smell like fish tho, who are they kidding.
>>44612095Yes it's gross and misogynistic
drag queens and trans women are identical
>>44612183>No it's not, but it should be. The more the merrier, I love saying slurs.youre so me
>>44612095>is fish a slur?Why do you care faggot?
>>44613409I used the word fish to describe a tranny in another thread like 12 hours ago and it apparently really set them off lol.
For the record I'm a trans woman and I've never said fish in my life
>>44612095Drag culture is so ughDrag queens make me uncomfortablet. Trans woman

>>44613500Forcing myself to watch and enjoy Ru Paul's Drag Race ironically set my transition back by about 2 years because I am nothing like the people on that show.
>>44613527most gay men aren't like that either though it's just one person's perspective on performative femininity, and a nigger's at that
>>44612127have you tried hitting her with a pan to make a bump on her head appear and then when she pushes it down it appears elsewhere
>>44612095plastique is more passable than you ever will be sis. cry more tranny
>>44612095yeah don't say anything offensive. Just do what the jews tell you to do.
>>44612095it's a misogynistic slur and therefore based and good
>>44613697nta, but my fish gf does this every time I get a little too in her words "uppity". This seems completely appropriate to me because as a trans woman, I need to unlearn male socialization in the only language pervert males like me understand: violence
>>44616387misogyny heals society
Personally I think it only really is not offensive when it's said outside of the presence of cis women or men. Cissoids love drag but if they witnessed the way that queens talk backstage they would change their tune - for instance "bitch" is also used as a compliment in the drag scene in ways that would be hard to explain.>>44612173There was a trend in drag that involved the incorporation of more clowning when a bunch of college students got involved in the 90s, certain iconic looks like the white stripe over eyes and nose bridge can trace their origins to here but drag itself began much earlier, many say it was the ballroom scene that made it what it is (or was).
