  1. I watched Jamie Farr play Maxwell Clinger in MASH -weird no one in the household died

  2. If someone could watch decades of slapstick, cross-dressing, and absurdity in Looney Tunes without โ€œturning intoโ€ anything, then maybe the problem isnโ€™t drag shows โ€” itโ€™s the people trying to weaponize fear of them. The joke has always been on those who take the gag too seriously.

  3. Is anyone blaming Uncle Milty's drag performances on mid-century TV, or Sid Cesar, or countless other male comics who dressed in drag at times in their careers? In Shakespeare's day, men played all the parts, so many were in drag. Drag is not a new phenomenon.

  4. Itโ€™s true, this is why we need more lgbt agendas in elementary schools, everyone knows that children are smart enough to not be convinced by it, so thereโ€™s practically no harm! Just like with bugs bunny, the children can handle it, let them learn about sodomy ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

  5. I remember watching Bugs Bunny and thinking how good he was at subverting violence and turning it in on itself.

  6. I let both my kids when they were young watch Tootsie (one of my favorite movies of all time). They are over 18 now and seem normal.

    Now I would probably get a call from child protective services.

    Could this movie even get made now? The poster with the flag would cause a national uproar.

  7. This was a great post. My brother (a trumper) said he used guns bc he watched Yosemite Sam. I said bullshit I watched him before you n I donโ€™t have one. I am a Clint Eastwood fan n I still donโ€™t have a gun. Cut the bullshit folks.

  8. Yes, but I acknowledge that in recent years, a dearth of anvils within my reach is absolutely contributing to my clean record.

  9. I not only watched Flip Wilson and his alter ego Geraldine as a toddler; I even had the doll that was male until you flipped it over. By conservative logic I should have given up my boobs and vagina decades ago.

  10. Mind you, the question "If Wile E Coyote's credit is so good that he can mail order rocket-propelled skates and so on, why doesn't he just send out for a pizza?" made me realise the power of marketing in a capitalist society at a very early age.

  11. Such cartoons were the acme of my childhood! (Not that Iโ€™m immune to them in my current feeds. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿป)

  12. My idiot Dad was worried I was gay because when I was 5 I liked wearing my mom's highheals. I remember, recalling the past much later, so maybe adding in causes that weren't there, I just liked they made me taller! I also made a wall mural w my mom's makeup. I did not end up a beautician either ; )

  13. I've watched Mrs. Doubtfire, dressed as a woman a couple of times and still no drag queen. They miserably fail on the conversion therapy (maybe because it doesn't work like that).

  14. I did think quicksand was going to be a bigger issue than it turned out to be.

  15. โ€ฆbecause enough of us had good enough sense, and critical thinking skills, even at a very young age, to be able to distinguish between the cartoon world, and the real worldโ€ฆ

  16. Unless of course the MAGATS watched a lot of Daffy Duck. They were either mind controlled or have weak minds. Could be both.

  17. Well, how about opera? Did you at least try to sing opera? Are you sure you didnโ€™t try to dig burrows in your backyard? What do you think about carrots?

  18. Sadly the MAGAts are far beyond being able to get over it. ๐Ÿ™„

  19. All though growing up to become a drag queen is a valid life goalโ€ฆ bc drag queens are awesomeโ€ฆ all of themโ€ฆ and give great makeup tipsโ€ฆ they are the kindest of the kindโ€ฆ

  20. Bugs Bunny was the original cartoon drag queenโฃ๏ธ Bugs Bunny is a beauty when in drag.

  21. Thatโ€™s because Bugs was consciously fooling stupid people and didnโ€™t ACTUALLY think he was Brunhilde tragically born in a rabbitโ€™s body, and living up to huntersโ€™ expectations and prejudices of him.

  22. 1959 film Some Like It Hot starring Marilyn Monroe and in dresses Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, was considered so important that the Library of Congress selected it as one of the first 25 films for preservation in the United States National Film Registry and has probably been seen by most Americans.

  23. I did pull away a pillow my brother was going to land on to see if he would turn into an accordion. He did not.

  24. Yes. Same can be said for watching the movie โ€œSome Like it Hotโ€ or the tv show โ€œBosom Buddiesโ€ or Flip Wilson, or even Shakespeare in his time.

    Natalie Wood putting brown paint on her face in โ€œWest Side Storyโ€ didnโ€™t make her Puerto Rican, either. (the only actual Latina/o was Rita Moreno)

  25. I have read several books on World War II and have never had the urge to invade Poland.

  26. ... and even you had grown up to wear dresses or other clothing normally associated with a different gender, why should anybody care what clothes you choose to wear?

  27. My whole family including all the kids watched MASH with my heavily conservative step father that thought Klinger was hilarious. My Mother wasn't allowed to wear make-up but Klinger sure could.

  28. Because the outrage is manufactured, these same people yelling and screaming about it probably grew up watching the same shit yet they never cared until they were told.

  29. On a related topic the coyote is getting his own movie - I believe heโ€™s suing ACME - seriously! ๐Ÿ˜‚

  30. We saw Bugs Bunny in drag as well as Milton Berle, Flip Wilson, Harvey Corman, Dustin Hoffman, Patrick Swayze....

    And nobody cared.

  31. I donโ€™t remember all the details of the episode. Was Bugs Bunny saying that he switched sexes or was he pretending to be female?

    I remember Bugs Bunny shooting Daffy Duck in the face but I was aware that that too was just fake

  32. Yet, here we are CLEARLY in Duck Season with administration trying to gaslight us into believing it is Rabbit Season.
