Yvie Oddly Calls Out Capitalism And Greed In The RuPaul’s Drag Race Franchise

Yvie Oddlyย is grateful for her time/exposure onย RuPaul’s Drag Race and All Stars; however, she has issues with the “rich old gays” profiting from a “fake competition.”

The lip-sync assassin called out the behind-the-scenes team that is profiting from drag queens and culture wars.

The tweets:

The RPDR season 11 winner took to social media to share her frustrations with the franchise.

Let me be clear: I am so so SO thankful for Drag Race!
That show changed my life LONG before I was ever a part of its fiber, but Iโ€™m hopeful for a future where queer people have opportunities to flourish outside of a fake competition to make a few rich old gays richer https://t.co/3ZHulYG6D1

Yvie, who was a regular in RuPaul’s Drag Race Live show in Las Vegas, reminded her followers that the show’s magic comes from its talent.

1. These queens are remarkable!
The drag artists are and have ALWAYS been the lifeblood of what makes this franchise great https://t.co/dVpmBdohsu

The RPDRAS7 competitor called the production team out for their avarice.

2. The producers are often the greediest, most-calculating, capitalist culture thieves. https://t.co/B0LlD8LlgQ

โ€” Yvie Oddly (blue checkmark) (@OddlyYvie) May 29, 2023

Yvie didn’t stop there. “They fuck with real peopleโ€™s lives, career opportunities, and health. They drive themselves home in their luxury cars when their contestants are sleep-deprived, depressed, and DRASTICALLY underpaid for their contributions to the cultural phenomenon.”

Ask any of the drag kings whoโ€™ve never been cast. Or the trans contestants who were barred from being themselves until a few years ago when they realized how lucrative that representation was in the culture wars https://t.co/NpUXDOrpfi

Then they tell themselves theyโ€™re good people for showcasing queer content and creating opportunities for us while ignoring the irreparable damage they cause, and creating a chokehold monopoly on how drag artists can succeed

โ€” Yvie Oddly (blue checkmark) (@OddlyYvie) May 29, 2023

Yvie made it clear to her followers that “All the things we love: the looks, the catchphrases, the memes, the dramaโ€”it all comes from the queens,” not the suits profiting from the show.ย 

Plot twist:

Considering how financially focused the producers of Drag Race are, they didn’t have a sense of urgency paying Yvie the $100k she earned winning season 11.

P.S. they took over a year to pay me my winnings because they conveniently kept forgetting they owed me 100k ๐Ÿ–•๐Ÿฝ

Shout out to our anti-capitalism queen for not paying for Elon Musk’s blue check on Twitter. Yvie chose to add the phrase ‘blue checkmark’ in parenthesis after her name. We stan!
