      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.

          If you think Dame Edna wasn’t a drag performance you’ve lost the plot.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_show

          The way you’re equating all drag performance with pornography or “lewd acts” is equally ridiculous. Not all drag shows are dancing.

          You must think that all women on streaming sites are cam girls by that logic.

          You are very clearly anti-something, by the looks of it anti-intellectual might be a start.

              Oh so my example of a man, dressing as a woman, and doing a performance is a bad example because it doesn’t fit your clearly borderline pornographic concept of drag shows but I’m missing the point?

              Please elaborate.

                  that all shows are not necessarily pornographic

                  You’re on the right track…

                  mandating a corporate retreat to be at any potentially sexual shows

                  Ahh you were so close to spotting your doublethink.

                  Remember when I said?

                  You must think that all women on streaming sites are cam girls by that logic.

                  We can’t endorse people in the office sharing Youtube videos because it’s potentially sexual!

                  That’s what your logic boils down to. Each drag show needs to be judged based on its actual content and not preconceived notions.

                  Also there are absolutely workplaces that include borderline sexual content in after work events, including movies! Some movies even have sex scenes! We can’t go watch Shrek because they kiss and imply inter-species relations!

          Dressing in drag and putting on a comedy show isn’t the same as a “drag show”.

          yes it is?

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

              Just because you don’t highlight ‘all ages events’ doesn’t mean it’s not part of the quote

                  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.
