Drag shows are not necessarily pornographic, they’re often just theatre and comedy, and I’m confused how you got this impression that they are pornographic.
The most well known drag queen in Australia for decades was Dame Edna (now deceased) and no one would have batted an eye at going to watch her perform with work colleagues.
Sure… But you’re using a bad example. And I think that’s part of the point… lots of people are lumping things in that just isn’t a “drag show” into it to make it out that people like me are anti-whatever.
If we use your example… It’s not a drag show… it’s a character. One that was put on specifically for comedy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dame_Edna_Everage “Drag” isn’t even mentioned on the page. Dressing in drag and putting on a comedy show isn’t the same as a “drag show”. Eg. RuPaul’s proclivity to pole dance and emulate sexual acts on that particular televised series.
A drag show is a form of entertainment performed by drag artists impersonating men or women, typically in a bar or nightclub.Shows can range from burlesque-style, adult themed nightclub acts to all-ages events with sing-alongs and story times.
Using sources that people have linked AGAINST me… It shows the same thing I’ve been talking about. Just because all of them aren’t this way doesn’t mean that it’s magically okay to do as a mandated corporate event.
It’s in the quote as a RANGE of possibilities. Meaning that the show ranges from NC17 to PG. The fact that half of the range is inappropriate for corporate events is literally sufficient evidence that it’s not suited for a MANDATED corporate event.
Is going to a movie theater inappropriate for a corporate event? After all, movies range from NC17 to G also. You might say no, you can choose what movie to see and it’s simple to pick one that’s not graphic and appropriate for work. And I would say, it’s the same way with drag shows.
Well… I’ve run into people here on Lemmy that legit believe that it’s okay to take your workers out to a drag show as a corporate event.
So I’m sure that there’s plenty of people that believe that softcore porn is on the table during work hours.

yes it is?
you’re thinking of burlesque. Burlesque has implied nudity, drag shows are comedic.

Yeh there is a huge double standard on this site.
