Massive transphobia is the glaring flaw; it is literally stipulated in the contract that even if they *are* trans, they either have to hide it and present as cis or just. Not be in the show. Go listen to what the trans queens (Carmen Carrera, Jiggly Caliente, Monica Beverly Hillz, etc.) have to say about it, and you see how gross it really got. Then there's the insane focus on fishy pageant queens, which is such an incredibly small portion of drag. That's alienating as well. You could argue that it's because RuPaul herself is all fish these days, but it's hypocritical considering that in her youth she was way more genderfucky. It's basically just... RuPaul is getting to be a classic boomer like the rest of them, he's just gay so he gets to claim he's not. He's judgmental in the bad way and closed-minded, and that absolutely reflects in the show. All that said, it's popular for a reason and there's no shame in enjoying it. It's junk food TV and that's fine. But it simply doesn't fall under the banner of progressive anymore. Which, again, is fine! Not everything has to be. But we've made steps since the show first started, and the show hasn't made those steps along with the rest. If you're interested in a more... accurate, I guess? Current? look at the drag community and what it's doing, I highly recommend Dragula. It's got something for everyone, and really lets queens, kings, and everything in between dig into the dirty-sexy-bad roots of the culture. I adore it.
