So, You Wanna Crown a Queen? (RuPaul's Drag Race 2022 Voting Lowdown)
Okay, dolls, let's talk voting for RuPaul's Drag Race. It's more complex than a Cher wig after a hurricane, right? Don't worry, we'll break it down.
First things first, is there even a public vote? In 2022, not really. It's all about RuPaul's decisions (and maybe some behind-the-scenes producer magic!).
But... My Opinion Matters!
You bet your sweet bippy it does! Even if you can't directly crown a queen, there are ways to make your voice heard.
Social media is your best friend. Flood Twitter and Instagram with your #Team[YourFaveQueen] love.
Remember, positive vibes are key! Let's not spread hate, henny. We're here for the art, the eleganza, the drama (but the fun kind!).
Hashtags are your secret weapon. Use the official #DragRace hashtag along with your queen's name. The more noise, the better!
Fan polls are also your jam. Many websites and social media accounts run unofficial polls. Vote in every single one of them!
My Unpopular Opinion (Don't @ Me!)
Listen, I know some people love a polished, perfect queen. But, I'm all about the underdog! Give me the queen with heart, the one who tripped on the runway but recovered with a witty comeback.
Is that just me? Maybe. But, I think authenticity shines brighter than a thousand rhinestones sometimes.
Also, anyone else tired of the sob stories? Like, everyone has problems. Give us charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent without the trauma dump every episode.
The Real Vote: Your Wallet
Okay, let's be real. The best way to support your queen is to give them your money! Seriously.
Buy their merch! Stream their music! Follow them on Patreon! These queens are working hard, and they deserve to be compensated.
Seeing your fave booking gigs and selling out merchandise is almost as satisfying as seeing them snatch the crown (almost!). It shows that the fans are with them.
Beyond the Crown: The True Prize
Winning RuPaul's Drag Race is amazing, of course. But it's not the be-all and end-all. The show opens doors, but it's up to the queen to walk through them.
Look at queens like Trixie Mattel. She didn't win her season (the first time!), but she built an empire.
The real prize is the platform, the fanbase, and the opportunity to share their art with the world.
Final Thoughts (and Some Sass)
So, while you can't directly vote for the winner, you can definitely influence the conversation. Support your faves online and, most importantly, with your wallet!
Remember, at the end of the day, it's just a TV show. Don't take it too seriously! Unless your fave gets robbed... then, riot!
Now go forth and spread the drag love! And remember, "If you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?" Amen!
