Back in the 90s, RuPaul wasn't that bad. But now the PC has gotten insane, so insane that it boarders on actual phobia, actual prejudice, actual hate. It's so political you can predict the winner in the first episode now, you can just check the DEI boxes and say "that one is going to win," and you're going to be absolutely correct. And that's a pretty big change from the first 6 seasons where the show felt like an actual competition and you saw some pretty impressive things. Now one contestant can actually flip over another to take the spotlight... and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is still going to dictate who the winner is. But, post Nashville shooting, the last show is full of 7's, the signs signifying that the shooter was the actual victim. And it's all done whilst playing the victim role. The show can support someone that killed two 9-year-olds because of their religion, and then pretend that they are the ones under attack. That's a step too far. I don't care what you identify as, at that point you're NOT the victim, they children killed are the victims, and this show should be ashamed of itself for taking that stance.
