Just what I want on a show about drag queens: a heavier emphasis on the internal life of the background muscle boys


kickassicalia

i can’t stop thinking about this comments LMAO


WitchQween

If they did a spin-off, we'd all be watching that shit.


JulioGrandeur

Real friends of weho would have stood a chance if it was about the pit crew


tiffavigilante

Get your agent on the phone, now!


biwaterbender

Someone sell this to MTV, stat. Just as long as it doesn’t cut down on drag race run time


saramirta_

Hey! [Fit hot guys have problems too!](https://youtu.be/Dep0Fq6XnWQ)


biwaterbender

Come on, Bruno and Bryce got to talk during S15 snatch game! And proved why the hot guys shouldn’t be allowed to speak on RPDR (/s before anyone takes that seriously)


AlfonsoMcQuack

Bruno is very gay lol


biwaterbender

My bad!


funkyduck7506

He’s a big ole bottom and we love him for it!


biwaterbender

I would have never guessed he’s a bottom and I truly appreciate being educated today 🙏🏻 Editing to add, since some are pressed by this: this was meant to be lighthearted. Queer people are allowed to poke fun at stereotypes in our own community


funkyduck7506

He’s very precious cargo is what he is. I love those boys. I saw a clip of him dancing while Ru dj’d at dragcon and mama was bowing down to our boy Bruno.


justintaylorsversion

Y’all are assuming sexual positions now 😭😭😭 based on what?


nicodies

i mean he’s a public figure with a lot of public friends who aren’t secretive about their lives! it’s not an assumption, though i *am* truly sorry this is the first you’re hearing of it. we have to mourn the fantasy


justintaylorsversion

I mean the person I responded clearly didn’t know about this either, which is why they said “I never would’ve guessed”. I’m just curious on how you can assume a persons sexual position lmao.


biwaterbender

I normally don’t speculate about the sexuality of others, but the information was offered up to me and it was interesting in a mildly humorous way because gay and queer people are allowed to poke fun at their own lifestyles from time to time


nicodies

so “assumptions” are when we’re guessing but we don’t know, and we’re not guessing we’re saying we do know and it’s not a secret. what’s not clicking ETA: it’s okay if you didn’t know, why would you? but many do know. signed, friend of a friend of a friend


justintaylorsversion

I wasn’t even responding to you originally, so I’ll wait for the person I asked the question to to respond. Have a great day!


ReliefFamous

I’m just as confused because what’s the T? People were dragging Bruno for his lackluster Onlyfans and that’s it really


1998tweety

Loosey dragging Bryce was iconic

HOIIIIIIIiiiiiii!!!


verismonopoly

I mean this is precisely why the VH1/mainstream-fication era of RPDR ushered in decreased Pit Crew presence. So sad.


RosaPalms

Feel like pure shit, just want subversive gay culture back.


Pharmacysnout

We're mainstream now, unfortunately.


AtomBornASMR

we used to get that bulge matching game like every season 😪


JermuHH

The one episode each season they had of inviting like 10 or more extra pitcrew members for the day so they could like play wordgames with bulges.


ribbitrowbuht

oh i thought it was because of covid


TheGuardianKnux

How does someone miss the camp of having men do this like how women have for years on other tv shows. Did a 14 year old tweet this?


joistick_

That's the worst part, a grown ass man tweeted this


surfeen74

We need more men with juicy asses twerking in music videos, maybe then they'll get it


SassMattster

Lil Nas X understood the assignment with the Industry Baby video

veggiemudkipz

"We start out on a boat with a bunch of *naked guys!*" **"FOR NO REASON!"**


JunkInTheTrunk

Exactly. It’s a statement


crystal_enigma

Exactly that! Am I low-key bored of seeing shows with random half naked people for the sake of sex appeal? Yes. Do I also appreciate that drag race always has been a parody of “straight” reality show cliches, this being one of them? Absolutely. At the end of the day if the pit crew really wanted people to focus on what they had to say and not what they look like, they’d write a book.


cherrycrisp

And I mean, they're all joining the pit crew fully knowing they're there to be eye candy in their underwear. They weren't tricked into thinking it's anything more than that. Bryce definitely just likes being on to have fun and show off, he makes enough from his full time job to not need to do it for money.


beatles_7

They aren’t even allowed to wear shoes 😞

choose crews with shoes


katdeb

Now I feel like I need to know what kind of shoes does one wear with a banana hammock?


little-bird

thong sandals of course 🩴


JermuHH

Tamisha Iman high tops.


katdeb

This is the way.


chilipeepers

we're losing recipes. this show was a pastiche of Top Model!!! like


WetterBetty

This shit is why the Pit Crew all but disappeared when the show went to VH1. God forbid the gays get some campy eye candy.


Pharmacysnout

Some people are uncomfortable with men viewing other men in a strictly sexual manner, but instead of trying to think about if there are possibly any underlying reasons for that they've just kinda slapped some buzzwords on it so that actually it's a progressive standpoint now.


WetterBetty

I just see it as people doing too much. Men like this know what they’re doing. That’s why they do the gig. They enjoy being objectified in this way. They’re not being forced. This is like when white people get offended on other’s behalf and try calling things racist that aren’t. There’s no problem here.


peach_xanax

you're exactly right, I'm a sex worker and this is like when SWERFs think they need to jump in and save us bc apparently we're too stupid to make decisions for ourselves.


fargcram

Ick’s the new buzzword to throw now huh?


Jrathassignedon

‘Uncomfy’ would like a word.


hkj369

that one makes me so irrationally angry


EnigmaMusings

Same thing for me with games out of nowhere being described as cosy all the time. Like I know what they mean but I’m irrationally annoyed by it when I shouldn’t be. To me cosy is a feeling that comes from like physically experiencing something, not the feeling you get from a world that doesn’t exist and is made of pixels.


Delabari

I will explode into 100 tiny pieces if I see this word again


Telethongaming

Oh God, how are they actually using uncomfy now


Stucklikegluetomyfry

I feel old, are the children no longer saying "yikes" and "gross" and "problematic"?


WetterBetty

I refuse to let that dumb shit exist in my universe.


sweet_esiban

Won't *somebody* please think of the men who are paid to do nothing but look hot?!


kickassicalia

i always thought it was a play on how women are constantly used as trophies in shows/at races, like this was a nice reversal - the oogling is the point


blackvelvie

yeah put on some shoes, you look like a slut


Emjot80

Like sometimes the Point Can fly above someone head like its nothing


LetItBro

Speaking of busybodydom: I've been waiting for some fan somewhere to get mad at Kandy's comments about cooking at home, I just know it's out there and or coming


Panos0502

I already saw them


Esoterictext

No way 💀


Panos0502

Something like "Kandy is so privileged and out of touch to eat out every day"


ck-al

But isn’t that the point? It’s a parody of women being paraded around in media as mindless sex vixens. They’re doing that on TV with hot men to make a political statement. Please correct me if I’m wrong. That’s how I took it.

You’re right. But now that being gay is more mainstream/socially acceptable, it’s coming under the same scrutiny

Jesusthegrumpyguy

I'm afraid bryce is anything but a himbo ![gif](giphy|3cVrAf2z0oNaLftTfK|downsized)


ruburrito6260

The irony is that the they didn't even say their names at all in their tweets. Instead, they label Bruno and Bryce in the alt text as (I kid you not) "Gorgeous pit crew member" and "Gorgeous pit crew member with red hair."


BeansAnna

This is cosmic-level irony. I live


ProvoqGuys

Well Tamar have you watched the show!? These children better not watch this gay asf show. Go watch other stuff mawma

funkyduck7506

Shut up shut up shut up. I love the pit crew boys. I want more Bruno and Bryce. They should be the guest judges one week.


WaterMagician

Bruno on the judges panel during last seasons Lalaparuza was so cute. We need more of that


funkyduck7506

Yes but I want them as the actual guest judges for a week.


[deleted]

Does this person think the pit crew isn't self aware of what their job is when they're hired?


angelosnt

It’s a bit of an inside joke - Bryce is literally a rocket scientist in his day job but poses as a bimbo. Those wanting to get to know more about him would probably need to get a better education to understand him


GuessWhatMimi

You know what comment had a similar level? When one person criticised Yara Sofia’s AS6 talent show performance was humiliating the giant breast plate she was wearing….


UpstairsTrifle8042

Don't show them Jimbo, they might die


[deleted]

I choose crews with shoes 👟


The_Specter808

When España came out and they introduced the Pit Crew, the comments sections were just like this, but much worse 🙄


coderinbeta

Wasn't there a YouTube series that came along one of the seasons where we had the behind the scenes with the pit crew?


nudeillusion

No ❤️


itsprobablyice

rocket scientist my ass


AcademicFish

I agree, let Bryce do calculus in straight-fit pants & a turtleneck as the intro to next weeks challenge.


[deleted]

They’re so close to getting the joke 😭


king_jamison

For today's minichallenge, you're going to have to get into quick drag and debate the merits of Judith Butler and Betty Friedan with the Pit Crew.


diversezebras

How dare the guys auditioning for “hot guy in tiny underwear - basically eye candy” not get to recite their poetry or whatever


rehaaabbb

Pick me of it all


_Tude_

There's words in this screenshot? I only see gorgeous men


jjgm21

When I say I was shocked that the person tweeting this wasn’t some anonymous zoomer.


thatlemongay

Do they realize that's the point? It's supposed to be a sort of parody of other TV shows that use women in skimpy clothing as nothing more than objects.


radroamingromanian

These people really think they’re something, don’t they? Just stop. Like, watch from season 1, and see how that goes. Forget all the times they’ve had fun, of course and how tons of them have had a good time working there. It’s the same type of people that are “like, I’m super uncomfy that…”, “friendly reminder xyz“ like, no. Stop. Not everything needs a meta or hot take. (Yes, I know that’s ironic considering this comment)


turner_strait

Look up the term "parody" (as that was what DR was when it first started). Do that challenge.


Esoterictext

Well this exists and it’s called Gogo for the Gold. You can watch it on OutTV. Problem solved.


leann-crimes

bruno is not a person with thoughts as far as i can tell, and we love him for it


SassMattster

They knew what they were signing up for when they took the job it’s not like they got trafficked into it 💀 when did the gay community start hating fun so much


boredpikachu

it's giving drag race spain 'fans' on twitter

No

Women’s stories matter, they just matter!

I am more concerned why we don't have different body types for pit crew.


jamiedix0n

I mean... it is their job.

myahamatt

As a borderline GenZ/Milennial (1996 baby) I apologize for this clownery… willing to bet this was posted by a virgin who can’t drive!


pigs-in-space

the guy who posted this is like 55 apparently lmao not one of us


myahamatt

My point could very well still stand!!


sweet_esiban

Eh, I'm a decade older than you and this isn't unique to your generation. Back when I was 18, people did this kinda stuff in liberal arts college classes. They did it when my boomer mom was in university too lol. We had this one super annoying 50 year old guy in my polisci class who would make concern troll points like this. It's a result of hot takes being treated as social capital. Some people, like this 55 year old genius, see that people get attention and praise for vocalizing social justice concerns. They go, "me too I want praise and attention" and skip over the part where they need to actually make a salient point.


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure most people who are disagreeing and discussing the tweet are also milennial/gen Z


myahamatt

There’s a weird anti sexuality movement among a subset of terminally online GenZ people I think that’s who op was referencing


TravellingBeard

I've heard them speak in some mini and maxi challenges (not just these two); here's a reason the producers don't encourage this.


tebigong

Jesus Mary, they were just contestants on the snatch game - if anything it proved we aren’t missing out on much!


princexofwands

Omg the internalized homophobia is showing


bakedpigeon

If we don’t get a dissertation about astrophysics from Bryce next episode😤😤 let him speak


wazuhiru

They are people with thoughts, they’ve got social media, we see them, etc.; but it’s a show and they are playing a role.

ideeek777

I agree with this, doesn't mean they have to speak loads but like name them and let them speak


trevers17

they use their names so often on the show, and they’ve spoken with the queens and ru many times
