Just curious, what are the certain type of people you're talking about when you're saying your feelings on RuPaul are muddied? (Edit: I see you actually said a certain person so I guess you're referring to just one person although there have apparently been multiple trans contestants.)

So you don't know? Oh my...

The person I'm refering to is none other than Michael Alig, a literal sex pest and murderer.

He was the creator of the whole 'Club Kids' fad, or as I like to call it, the place where bright futures went to die.

He also got involved with Desmond (yes, the 'drag kid') of all people after getting out of jail for killing his drug dealer.

He was a very close friend of RuPaul, who never said a thing condemning his actions, including the murder.

ALIG WAS FRIENDS WITH RUPAUL? Welp. That solidifies my dislike.

There's a documentary, I believe it's name is 'Party Monster', which explains the link between RuPaul and Alig in a quite detailed way.

It's on YouTube if you want to give it a watch.

Oh yes! I’ve been meaning to watch that for a long time now. I’m only familiar with Alig from true crime docs in early aughts + the documentary he released when he got out of jail.
