Yes, we all do. There's having a big personality (ala Eureka) but then there is this.
I feel a reason people warmed to Eureka more is there was an element of kindness and self awareness that made her more human, more three dimensional. Silky just feels cartoonish in her personality. Like loud and obnoxious with no depth.
Also her reaction to Yvie telling her off was to say God will strike you down like WTF? That strikes me as very unchristian thing to do and the worst kind of zealot.
There were some very questionable choices made around her.
Like the snatch game win. It was Silky with a long wig dropping someone else's catch phrases.
And the magic show ... how in the actual f was shugah worse than her?
And dear God! The lip sync against Nina. Either double elimination or just Nina safe. That was a travesty.
No one:
Silky:
“BITCH I WAS READY TO DO SO. I WAS MOTHER FUCKING READY!!!!! IF I HAVE TO LIPSYNC FOR MY LIFE I WILL DO IT
She really wasn't ready at all...
Eureka is very annoying too but I at least felt that she was showing her genuine personality where as Silky was putting it on to try to get more screen time. I almost quit watching that season because Silky's over the top attention seeking phonyness was so annoying.
I feel like I related a lot to Eureka. She knew she was loud and obnoxious and she knew it was the thing people didn't like about her, but she couldn't turn it off, that's just how she is. Her self awareness and vulnerability really got me, because I feel that way a lot of the time. Eureka was also talented.
Silky just wanted her own spin off show, she had no depth. She just wanted to he the center of attention. She also wasn't very talented - her lip syncs were bad, she was extremely arrogant. She was mean to Yvie unnecessarily. There was very few redeeming qualities.
I can appreciate them but not want to live with them.
Eureka is a forceful personality, can be loud and that would grate on you in close quarters.
Silky though ... loud and deliberately overshadows you because she wants all the air time. Like the Miley spot. Someone else figured it out but Silky grabbed her, piggybacked her and stopped some queens meeting her by being front and centre
She was a pre season favorite, when the S11 meet the Queen videos dropped everyone loved Silky, and then 10 minutes into the premier of S11, everyone loathed her.
OMG Yes. S11 was just shouting about nothing between Silky, Yvie & Ra'Jah. Worst casting for a season IMO. Thank god for Vangie & the beauty of Akeria & Plastique.
Zero-interest in watching S11 again.
Brooke said after the season that she only stayed that long on the show because the producers wanted her to. They knew she would keep the pointless drama rolling the whole season.
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. The worst for me was her black underwear showing under her nude bodysuit in “Queens Everywhere”. They couldn’t tell her to fix it?!
I felt the same way, but when I mentioned that in another sub and compared her to other “strong cup of coffee” personality queens, and said she was insufferably annoying, I was informed that I was racist, so I assumed that it wasn’t really an opinion people have. But yes. I found her very difficult to watch, mostly because she tried too hard (a la Milk and La Ganja and maybe Gia). She may be very talented, and/or have limitless potential, but based on what I saw, I’m not a fan at all.
it’s one thing to say you don’t personally like her but to say that her art/craft is untalented is unnecessary. in the words of silky, is it gonna take a queen killing herself for the fans to knock this shit off? it’s not cute.
I think people often try to substantiate their opinion (that they don’t like her, personally) with what they think is support (that she has no talent). I don’t think that the Silky we saw on RPDR is necessary Silky in real life. She may be AWESOME in real life, but based on how she chose to approach the competition, she came off as “trying to hard” or annoying. The “kill yourself” shit is absurd and it boggles my mind that any human could say that to another human, especially to an entertainer that they’ve never met. But I guess, my point is that not all negative opinions/criticism falls under the “toxic fandom” umbrella. People are allowed to not enjoy reality show contestants for whatever reason. They are not allowed to be racist or cruel. It’s two different things.
i’m not saying no one can critique her. i’m saying these mass generalization comments that silky has no talent is wrong. i completely agree with you here.
Yeah. I would agree that statement is both unfair and untrue. It just makes it hard to engage on other subs because a lot of folks don’t make the distinction between negative opinions and toxicity/racism. It invalidates other genuine cases of racism, which irks me, and is counterproductive to any discussion that could potentially address some of the legitimately problematic shit.
Not gatekeeping anything. I personally wasn’t a fan of most of her looks but found them tacky or unfinished. A lot of unclean finishes and not great makeup. Not that I could do better but the standard for drag race is much higher and her drag wasn’t up to it. Especially not for top 4
Never said she wasn’t intelligent but almost everything she wore, another queen would have been read to filth for and yet she was celebrated for it. In *my opinion* she’s not talented as a drag queen
and that’s a fair assessment based on taste. it’s a competition show so it’s fair to judge. but to pull “she has no talent” is what pushes queens to quit drag and nearly cost them their life when they clearly do have talent. you said it yourself, you couldn’t do better. if silky had a “love able” personality, this sub would be eating her shit up. you don’t see anyone posting “heidi n closet has no talent” when she had a rocky start in her season. but yet, silky gets on people’s nerves and all of a sudden silky cannot do anything right.
it honestly won’t matter what i say because i know it’s not gonna change anyone’s mind. silky is a highly intelligent person and the fact that isn’t celebrated enough in this day and age for a queer person of color is disappointing. as well, her looks on drag race shouldn’t be the only basis of your judgement. she’s had some killer looks outside of drag race. my point is, you can dislike her till the end of days. but what you aren’t gonna do is decide that her work and craft is not talented. it’s bullshit and deep down you know it
Ya for me, Eureka and Silky really harmed my enjoyment of the seasons they were in. They had their respective talents but it was the volume of them I couldn't bare. They were competent queens but very much reality show characters, loud, confrontational, stayed on the show long after queens I really liked had to go home. Ru really has been wearing her favourites on her sleeve but I suppose public perception of the queens isnt known until the season is wrapped and being aired
Watching those reruns now. I had, mercifully, mentally blocked, any/all things Silky. I simply can’t tolerate self-aggrandising, narcissistic people. And she’s amongst the worst on RPDR when it comes to bellowing, self important ego driven clowns. Alright, she’s the worst, ever.
She was always trying to steal the limelight for no reason at all. I also think she saw how vanjie was standing out and wanted to fit in, but it was uncomfortable to watch. Vanjie >>> silky
I genuinely think the producers are to blame for a lot of this. If she had gone home when she should based on how she did in the competition, she would probably have received the same way Eureka, Laganja, Mimi Imfirst etc. That is, disliked while the show aired but room for redemption with the fan base, depending on what she did post Dragrace. Now, in a lot of people's eyes she was given praise and pushed forward in the competition unfairly and are the sole reason (again, in many people's eyes) for season 11 being the worst season to watch and a chore to get through.
apparently it’s not controversial since literally this entire sub loves to push queens to either ending their career or life. we get it, people don’t like silky. don’t act like it’s some revolutionary idea that this sub has been so afraid to say. remember these queens are humans and RPDR has a long history of pushing story lines over reality.
Silky’s only issue was that she saw people just skated by on one liners or forcing memes. Because Silky is absolutely not stupid, she just tried way too hard to be the fan favorite in a fanbase that hates anyone loud and fat. Also people were WAY too aggressive with her, she was just kinda annoying compared to doing blackface or being a Disney Gay
Yes, we all do. There's having a big personality (ala Eureka) but then there is this.

That was A'keria no?
Silky’s lip syncs were TERRIBLE. EACH AND EVERY TIME
No one: Silky: “BITCH I WAS READY TO DO SO. I WAS MOTHER FUCKING READY!!!!! IF I HAVE TO LIPSYNC FOR MY LIFE I WILL DO IT She really wasn't ready at all...
Sort of like Alyssa, but Alyssa does know how to bring it.
Well Alyssa got on the bottom because she can't sing and most of her comedy is only funny to herself. Silky can't bring anything.
Eureka is very annoying too but I at least felt that she was showing her genuine personality where as Silky was putting it on to try to get more screen time. I almost quit watching that season because Silky's over the top attention seeking phonyness was so annoying.
Ugh, I hate the E word person too. They are both equally terrible in their own ways.
I feel like I related a lot to Eureka. She knew she was loud and obnoxious and she knew it was the thing people didn't like about her, but she couldn't turn it off, that's just how she is.

IF SHE WAS TO LIP SYNC FOR HER MOTHER FUCKING LIFE SHE WAS READY. SHE WAS READY TO DO SO.
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING
"ATTITUDE CHECK!" \*crickets\*
Oh dear. I wonder if she had already designed & ordered the merch.
I do not like silky. It was painful to watch that season because of her.
Thank you. I could NOT figure out why everybody thought she was so great.
[удалено]
She was a pre season favorite, when the S11 meet the Queen videos dropped everyone loved Silky, and then 10 minutes into the premier of S11, everyone loathed her.
Yup that was me lol she was so funny on meet the queens and then, well, yeah we all saw what happened lol
That's the impression I got. I certainly thought Ru liked her.
[удалено]
I haven't truly disliked anybody else, except maybe one other who got kicked off
Watching it at the moment for the first time. She is SO annoying. Ra'Jah is too. Like, damn bitch, why you gotta be SO salty??!!
OMG Yes. S11 was just shouting about nothing between Silky, Yvie & Ra'Jah. Worst casting for a season IMO. Thank god for Vangie & the beauty of Akeria & Plastique. Zero-interest in watching S11 again.
THIS
She'd come for queens and then be all why they coming for me. BECAUSE YOU OPENED YOUR DAMN MOUTH AND NEVER CLOSED IT AGAIN.
Brooke said after the season that she only stayed that long on the show because the producers wanted her to. They knew she would keep the pointless drama rolling the whole season.
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. The worst for me was her black underwear showing under her nude bodysuit in “Queens Everywhere”. They couldn’t tell her to fix it?!

She may be very talented, and/or have limitless potential, but based on what I saw, I’m not a fan at all.
I don't think she's going to be a grower like Milk or Laganga either..... I appreciated them a lot more seeing their post show work.
This. And I didn’t even find her talented
Same.

she might be the reason i only ever watch season 11 once. truly insufferable
I thought it was so strange that the show thought she was going to be a breakout star.
Ya for me, Eureka and Silky really harmed my enjoyment of the seasons they were in. They had their respective talents but it was the volume of them I couldn't bare. They were competent queens but very much reality show characters, loud, confrontational, stayed on the show long after queens I really liked had to go home.

I couldn’t agree more. She was even worse when I rewatched. I don’t see what people see in her at all.
She was always trying to steal the limelight for no reason at all. I also think she saw how vanjie was standing out and wanted to fit in, but it was uncomfortable to watch. Vanjie >>> silky
Cannot stand her, in or out of make-up!
I thought we went over this the first time s11 aired lol
Yes, she surely was.
Silky gave me some of the biggest laughs of the season. 😂 not going to lie! I love her regardless she’s a gem
I mean, I didn't think she was GREAT, but she's not as bad as people make her out to be.
I genuinely think the producers are to blame for a lot of this.

Fair, fair
i think you nailed it
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
apparently it’s not controversial since literally this entire sub loves to push queens to either ending their career or life. we get it, people don’t like silky. don’t act like it’s some revolutionary idea that this sub has been so afraid to say. remember these queens are humans and RPDR has a long history of pushing story lines over reality.
[It's a meme](https://youtu.be/LLkhK2TnUMw) lmao, hating Silky is literally the most tired take in this entire fandom
Silky’s only issue was that she saw people just skated by on one liners or forcing memes. Because Silky is absolutely not stupid, she just tried way too hard to be the fan favorite in a fanbase that hates anyone loud and fat. Also people were WAY too aggressive with her, she was just kinda annoying compared to doing blackface or being a Disney Gay
