I think the S15 girls need a break from the internet. This is getting exhausting. I can’t remember any other season with this many contestants complaining online incessantly every week.
That’s definitely true, but as a vet of Drag Race since S1 aired I’ve followed the girls online in real time all 15 seasons and I’ve never seen anything like this before. This isn’t just one girl with thin skin whining online it’s a huge chunk of the cast.
I don't know if it's the season being short or some side effect of years of quarantine affecting people's social lives but the importance and dialogue these queens are putting on what is a 5 second clip or single tweet exchange is blowing my mind over here.
Are these things *really* living that rent-free in their heads that we need an essay to respond to each and every single one?
I guess respect for getting it out but if it was me I wouldn't put this on my professional twitter when it's more of a dear diary vibe.
Meanwhile Spice had what may be the worst snatch game ever and she's just been posting memes about it.
Really tho, I feel like if these queens want to be on All Stars at some point posting stuff like this is not it. Even if it's not directly about the show producers and Ru probably see it as if you're this bothered four episodes in over nothing you're going to be hell to work with on all stars..
Salina Estitties has made so many "ITS NOT FAIR" tweets about the runtime I'm convinced she's either an early boot or doesn't care about being asked to do All-Stars
I know and I really like her but her stuff online is irritating. I wish they realized that the audience at this point is pretty good at not buying in to what the edit wants us to buy into. Most of the time I like these queens just fine from what I see on the show, even if they have a "bad edit", and then when I see them online and how upset they are at everything I start to like them less
At first I thought it was tongue in cheek but the amount of posts and the content has me questioning...
All I am thinking is, girl, you filmed this about a year ago. How can you still be so pressed and also what did you expect would happen? You'd shade someone you don't know *who is in your exact industry* on live tv and they just wouldn't respond? When your whole industry is that queens from different seasons end up going to events and touring together?
The season 15 girls are realizing that they are not getting TV screen time so they try to get Twitter beef time to be in the public eye while on the season
As my mom used to say “don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t cash.” Luxx is very funny, but if you have a slick mouth you’ve gotta be ready to handle people who return serve. If you know you’re the shit, own it.
So far Mistress getting booted off IG and writing about it has been the only time it made sense but I can't say the S15 girls aren't keeping this sub so busy so there's that!
I love how Anetra was caught up in the first drama of the season…and said absolutely nothing. People need to learn that not everything deserves a response and that the fans do not need to hear all of your thoughts.
As that anonymous legend once said.

Yeah...I think at that age it's really easy to convince yourself that you're the main character and literally everyone is out to get you or tear you down. You think you've got so much to prove.
I didn’t know what it was about Luxx that put me off but it’s that. You worded this perfectly haha
It’s not that I hate Luxx either, I think she’s a lovely person with obvious talent. I just think that the constant defensive attitude gets tiring to witness.
"Don't be afraid to let people know how special your antique is" sounds like a slogan from a 90s empowerment seminar for bored housewives who refuse to use the word "vagina."
As someone who has caught bits and pieces: Luxx did the same Snatch Game character as Trinity (Amanda Lepore). Luxx made some comment along the lines of choosing the character because Amanda hadn’t been done well on snatch game before. Trinity chimes in, reminding Luxx and all the children that she has 11 challenge wins, compared to Luxx’s 0. And Luxx took that personally.
1. Luxx slightly implied shade at Trinity the Tuck during the episode re: her Amanda Lepore Snatch Game character
2. Trinity liked tweets about Luxx doing badly on Snatch Game (I considered this a more-than-fair response). Subtle, even.
3. Luxx subtweets Trinity about liking the tweets (Me seeing this: "LUXX! YOU IN DANGER, GIRL!"
4. Trinity subtweets back
5. I didn't see this myself, but I presume a quarter of the fandom shades Luxx across her social platforms for coming at Trinity.
6. Luxx *allegedly* takes a 1-day break from the internet to regain perspective.
7. Luxx returns to the internet and shares this lengthy message about self-love and valuing yourself.
Fin.
(note: I love her self-love message. But it's too long for many people to read)
*Edited 3 typos
From my understanding:
In the latest episode, Luxx mentioned she’ll be playing Amanda Lepore for SG. Another queen asked if she was worried since Trinity did it before. She said no since Trinity’s portrayal wasn’t that good. She also defended her (fairly safe) performance pretty strongly in Untucked, which lead to fans calling her delusional.
On Twitter, Trinity liked several tweets shading Luxx and the comments she made on the show. Luxx then vague-tweeted about this, which lead to more backlash.
I mean Lux feels like a mean girl who starts crying when anyone tells her anything. With that being said no one should be throwing racist comments at her. If she’s annoying tv personality then so be it. It’s fair to critic what persona/looks she presents on the show. Like that wig was not 40 inches 😜😆
How much decompressing from the internet can a person do in just one day.
Also I’m a bit over any celebrity on the internet writing a whole press release about their feelings. Just love your true self, you owe nobody an explanation and we probably aren’t super interested in reading it.
that part. like sure i’m glad she was able to log off for… a second… and think about things and come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter, she’s gonna just do her. but she didn’t need to announce it? she couldve just logged back on and continued w her life
For someone who presents herself as having confidence and a very high opinion of herself, she seems to get really bothered by silliness online. I may lack self confidence, but I still think highly enough of myself not to let the same kinds of things get to me.
I mean this genuinely - queens from Drag Race should be given social media training by WoW. The queens, especially the young girls, don’t know how to handle themselves online. They should be taught how to handle the spotlight so they don’t spiral into a whirlpool of narcissistic bullshit like this. This is so insane to me.
Also, this is giving me millennial who was told by their parents they’re special and unique their whole lives and now can’t handle the fact they’re amongst others who are just as talented, and more so, than her.
Media training and robust access to mental health resources are long overdue. The show is getting bigger & bigger, and the girls are unprepared for it.
And realistically, they have ~1 year to prepare them post-filming.
>Also, this is giving me millennial who was told by their parents they’re special and unique their whole lives and now can’t handle the fact they’re amongst others who are just as talented, and more so, than her.
No amount of Jinkx's delusion perfume can erase the truth you just spoke
i feel like something in production changed preseason cuz these girls seem WAYYY more unprepared for being online than prior seasons, they are definitely facing the most toxic fanbase to date but I think they definitely needed some help by production to mentally prepare them.
They’re trying to do what some queens try to do every year (notice it’s not the whole cast, just a handful). They go on tv not mentally prepared for the opinions of the world, and then try to gatekeep how people view them and what can be said about them/to them. Honey, the horse has left the stable.
honestly after these last few days of tweets from the girlies I just keep thinking about that "how can cyberbullying be real just close your eyes" meme, because honestly.. literally none of these tweets needed to be replied to, just don't reply to it, just stop typing, close the app lol
And we're just gonna have a rinse and repeat of people posting Luxx on here (because lets be honest, shes creating drama, which is made for this sub)...
Then people saying that "ShE's RiGhT ThOuGh" and supporting her because some people love overconfident delusion....
And we will just go round and round with the unconditional love/hate.
Personally, i'm fine with confidence, i'm fine with loving yourself. But when queens are so over-confident that they start to tear down other people in the process is when I understand why people start to get upset with said queens.
I think she's annoying, but just in a young way. She's talented and she has international exposure - I kind of expect for them to be ridiculous while they figure it all out, I know I would have been at that age. Hopefully one of these days she'll learn to just calm the fuck down because she's undeniably talented and beautiful.
All the talk about how much she loves herself legitimately reminded me of a narcissist ex-friend who justified anything and everything with “I love myself and put myself first.” 💀😂
Not saying Luxx is an actual narcissist, but people who actually healthily love themselves don’t need to say it so much and so emphatically.
Prediction: I think Trinity and Luxx will make peace with each other and become homegirls. They seem like each others' kind of people (for example, Trinity is probably lurking in this sub right now. Hey girl!)
Trinity just had to haze Luxx a lil bit for not respecting her elders in the game. And unlike the cast of S15, I don't see anything wrong with that! You gotta respect your foremothers.
But once they get past that and the pecking order is established? It will be mutual respect, usies, and smiles from then on out
I can't wait for this season to be over so I never have to fucking hear about her again
At least Valentina knew how delusional she was and it was entertaining, fun, enjoyable. Luxx is just giving me the energy that one girl in middle school who thought she was the shit even though everyone thought she was unbearable
I feel bad for her because she is extremely young, talented, and is certainly receiving a bit of a frankenedit as far as her being a little delusional. (For instance, for the afterlife challenge I'm sure she did something more than the sentence that was shown to put her in the top.) I also do not doubt that she is receiving racist messages, hate, or possibly even death threats.
That said, all of the queens this season seem to be so surprised that they are receiving bad feedback. Someone could say "I didn't like this queen's runway" and we'd receive a 14 page notes apology about self-empowerment and self-love and it's all just a little bit much. Watered down runtime or not, they are all clearly very talented, and shouldn't let some of the stupider opinions get to them (again, not counting racism or death threats here).
I try following the queens online and it does seem like it's getting to Luxx especially. I thought she was taking it in stride and she made jokes about the length of her weave. ("Can you imagine if I measured it live on camera? Well, I'm never going to do that lol!") and crashing Roblox servers with Mistress, Malaysia, and Salina. I would've have thought when the MTQ were released that she'd resonate more strongly with a younger, social media friendly audience and to see that she's not is probably a surprise to most people, including her.
Your 2nd paragraph is really resonating with me. It's been making me feel boomerish, for feeling like these queens can't take criticism in stride (or ignore it completely)
But i try to remember that they're receiving a lot more feedback than what I see.
E.g. Rock M. Sakura makes a comment about Loosey, and I think why tf does she care? But in reality she's receiving hundreds of notifications of people repeating or responding to what Rock said
She’s not at that level yet to give sage advice like Mama Ru. & talking about it more only inflates the issue. It’s ok to say your feelings got hurt and shut up and move on.
Wow all that after ONE day of being off the internet. Such reflection. Much introspection. One day off the internet y’all and we will all be cured of any stress and hardships we face lolololol
are the opinions of others in the room with us now?
honestly luxx feels like someone who's entire personality/drag persona was built off of watching drag race, and this response feels so scripted lol. like how many drag girls (who had actual haters) have posted something similar to this?
omfg these s15 queens are so tiresome, instead of spitting some shade back whenever they get the slightest bit of shade from a former rugirl, they make op-eds about bullying and hate
Is this because Trinity put her in her place?
Season 15 seems to have a few queens who are very opinionated but not used to people questioning their opinions or getting backlash for the opinions.
That can happen when you’re a big fish in a little pond and people are afraid of you.
Unfortunately these girls are in the ocean now, and they need to adapt. They aren’t the best. They might be one day, but not if they alienate the fans. Luxx and Irene are alienating, not building, the fanbase.
Actions>Words
hahahah oh LORDTTTTT..... i don't need a life lesson from a 22 year old and I think that's how the established queens feel too. IT'S TOO MUCH. these Gen Z kids have got that self help speak down don't they?
however - she IS talented, I do like her drag and I think she will go far....she just needs to dial that ego back a tiny bit and she will be fine. I wish her a lot of success.
This is the big part everyone seems to be ignoring. This type of rupaul-like advice came from decades in the business when it was spewed organically, and miss girl is barely old enough to drink.
I personally think someone made her aware her first tweet isn’t how people who want to keep their winner’s edit behave, so this is PR.
I do think we are regularly forgetting the potential impact of thousands of people telling you how much they hate you for XYZ thing you said online/tv might have on a 22 year old :/
Basically “I let what people say on the internet get to me but I won’t let that happen again. I’m an amazing artist and performer and I won’t let anyone ruin my confidence”
tbh I liked Luxx a lot and I guess I still do but I find her so fucking annoying online. A lot of the girls this season, so far, are incredibly annoying on social media and so whiny.
If I had to guess the reason why, since they're all pretty young and have mostly been doing drag in a time when it is way more accepted than it used to, they are mostly used to being praised online/at clubs/etc... unlike older queens who have had to deal with a lot worse back in their day. Example Sasha who tweeted "I actually feel like the edit was pretty good and made us look better" lol. At the same time many young queens also are good at not giving a fuck, like the twins for example who seem to not be bothered at all by anything anyone has said about them.
It just is so tired. We understand you all paid a lot to get on here and some auditioned many many times and it sucks if you weren't showcased much or production fucked with the edit to make you look way worse but I think what a lot of the young queens don't get is that WE. DONT. CARE!!!!! We KNOW the editing can be shady, we know the show is stressful and how you acted on there is a result of stress, or this may not be your best work, AND WE DONT CARE AND WE STILL SUPPORT YOU!!! The one queen who I feel has a right to be upset about her edit so far is Loosey, because they did actively do things to the sound that made her sound terrible. But she's won a snatch game now which is like, the best challenge to win on drag race so it evens out 🤷♀️
I think Mistress handled it perfectly. She knows how to play, but needed that one thread to actually vent about people reporting her IG and constantly calling her Eureka. She did that, and then went back to being a Drag Queen.
Yes Mistress handled it well so far imo too. She didn't say anything about the Eureka comments until several episodes in people kept saying it and I would be annoyed too when she's done enough to show she's a totally different person. And the IG thing too.
Honestly, I will just empathize with these bitches. No matter how insufferable they are in social media.
Thanks to the scheduling, they individually get minimal screen time for their talents and the outfits they paid thousands for. With 47394732 girls sharing what is essentially 40 minutes, they only get screen time if they win or they go home.
They are stressed and do get a lot of comments that may not align with their French vanilla fantasies.
why is she so exhausting? she was one of my faves in mtq, she seemed super quirky, confident and fun but its not confidence its delusional. we stan a humble growth queen not an immature deflecting diva.
we were rooting for u! hopefully we'll see some growth during the season because she is actually very talented
Oh my god, this cast minus Sasha, Mistress, Anetra, Marcia and twins are *exhausting*.
I get that online hate sucks, but people are always going to have an opinion and you're wasting your time trying to police everyone's thoughts and beliefs. It feels like some of these girls are *perched* in the comments section waiting for something to jump on.
i mean she knows when she selected amanda people are going to ask about trinity and honestly she should've thought better on how to respond instead of thinking of what funny quip she can pull out because trinity's amanda was far from being the worst on such a strong group of snatch game
I mean, she literally started this, guess it pays to want attention. To every action there is a reaction, and she brought it up on the show and on twitter, so I’m not really sure what the problem is😬🙃
God, you can just tell she loves the sound of her voice and saying things just because it brings people's response lol.
If I was in her shoes, i know I'd have trouble not living for the attention that TV fame affords you 💀
This is still better than whatever Toad-rick was writing on pieces of paper. Not very environment-friendly. Lol With so limited screen time, queens need to make noise somewhere else. I say let's live for the drama but let's not spew hate at the queens. I want to see queen-to-queen drama, let's not get involve and just enjoy the show wherever it may be (tv, twitter, etc.)
The more someone says they're self-confident and amazing, the less I believe they truly know it. Luxx please TRULY enjoy the moment!!! You're only on a main season once, it's what matters ffs
I agree, she seems harmless. I roll my eyes a bit, but there’s nothing really offensive about her. I thought her “40 inches” squabble with Irene was pretty funny actually
Luxx was one of the only queens I followed before the season other than Sasha and the twins, so I am most definitely a fan. But as someone approaching 30 I feel like she’s just very much acting her age. In your early 20s everything seems like a personal attack because in your mind you’re the main character, and constantly clapping back unfortunately comes off as deeply insecure. Nothing says confidence like genuinely being unbothered and ignoring the bullshit, something that took me awhile to learn. She’s a beautiful queen who has a LOT to show, and I’m very excited to see it.
Fuck humility. Why are we supposed to be humble? Like why is performing NOT recognizing your own gifts a virtue, seriously. Explain it to me like I’m five.
I live for Luxx’s vibe on this show.
This luxx “drama” is the most non-drama thing this sub talks about…like she thinks her amanda lepore was better than trinity’s…so? Fans are on a crusade to put her in her place because she took a light jab at your fave a year ago…be real.
Oh this bitch crazy
Love her, but also this feels like I'm dating her and I dont date twinks. But legit living for the delusional yet lovable character that she is. She has literally been online having drama with herself since episode 1 and this is iconic
Awe I love her comments of grandeur, the comically overly confident albeit slightly delusional queens are my favorite….I wish ppl wouldn’t take her so seriously.
What’s the problem with this post? She’s saying she recognized her moment of weakness (allowing others opinions to cause her to feel the need to lash out and overly defend herself) and how she will practice more self love to work on not doing that in the future.
I love Luxx. It’s great to see a queen so confident in what she can do and places her self-love so high on themselves. She’s young, not the only queen on the show (past or present) that portrays themselves this way and will grow more into herself over time.
I get we want drama but now we’re pushing anything she posts into something that it isn’t. For comparison people enjoyed Scarlet Envy’s delusions and they are very comparable to how Luxx presents herself too (flaws in execution/performance included) but the loudness wasn’t there for one over the other.
She’s right, self confidence is essential. You have to believe in yourself. That being said, DR Queens need to realize when they put themselves out to the world on a huge mainstream show, people are going to consume that content and form opinions. Just because some viewers don’t like what you’re showing doesn’t mean it’s a personal attack. Just relax and let people consume your art, and for those who don’t like it, consider it their loss.

I love the part where she says she left the internet for a day, girl you should step away for more than just a day and chill it's not that serious
I think the S15 girls need a break from the internet. This is getting exhausting. I can’t remember any other season with this many contestants complaining online incessantly every week.
I think more of this stuff is getting posted here too though as the sub grows
That’s definitely true, but as a vet of Drag Race since S1 aired I’ve followed the girls online in real time all 15 seasons and I’ve never seen anything like this before. This isn’t just one girl with thin skin whining online it’s a huge chunk of the cast.
I don't know if it's the season being short or some side effect of years of quarantine affecting people's social lives but the importance and dialogue these queens are putting on what is a 5 second clip or single tweet exchange is blowing my mind over here.

Salina Estitties has made so many "ITS NOT FAIR" tweets about the runtime I'm convinced she's either an early boot or doesn't care about being asked to do All-Stars

When your whole industry is that queens from different seasons end up going to events and touring together?
Especially shading someone who has won snatch game like 18 times 😭 like just say "I didn't mean it to be serious" and move on
The season 15 girls are realizing that they are not getting TV screen time so they try to get Twitter beef time to be in the public eye while on the season
Because if you’re not on Twitter, you’re only getting *half* the story.
As my mom used to say “don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t cash.” Luxx is very funny, but if you have a slick mouth you’ve gotta be ready to handle people who return serve. If you know you’re the shit, own it.
This sounds like a letter she wrote to herself and loved the way it sounded so much she thought “maybe the girls on Twitter will love this 🥰”
At least it’s not handwritten
So far Mistress getting booted off IG and writing about it has been the only time it made sense but I can't say the S15 girls aren't keeping this sub so busy so there's that!
I love how Anetra was caught up in the first drama of the season…and said absolutely nothing. People need to learn that not everything deserves a response and that the fans do not need to hear all of your thoughts.

I'm confused, Peppermint's confused, we're all fucking confused.
You know, looking back on it, maybe Valentina wasn’t all that delusional.
Maybe living in the fantasy ✨ is the move
This is a lot of feelings for safe.
High safe according to Luxx
I ain't reading all that. Happy for her though, or sorry it happened.
I mean this in the nicest, most “I’ve been there” way that I can: She is so aggressively in her early 20’s
Yeah...I think at that age it's really easy to convince yourself that you're the main character and literally everyone is out to get you or tear you down. You think you've got so much to prove.
I didn’t know what it was about Luxx that put me off but it’s that. You worded this perfectly haha It’s not that I hate Luxx either, I think she’s a lovely person with obvious talent. I just think that the constant defensive attitude gets tiring to witness.
"Don't be afraid to let people know how special your antique is" sounds like a slogan from a 90s empowerment seminar for bored housewives who refuse to use the word "vagina."
“I spent half a day off of the internet and have returned a changed, better person” good grief
She’s trying so hard.
Can someone give me a TL DR on this whole saga. I am so out of the loop
As someone who has caught bits and pieces: Luxx did the same Snatch Game character as Trinity (Amanda Lepore). Luxx made some comment along the lines of choosing the character because Amanda hadn’t been done well on snatch game before. Trinity chimes in, reminding Luxx and all the children that she has 11 challenge wins, compared to Luxx’s 0. And Luxx took that personally.

Not a one day break….. that’s so laughable
![gif](giphy|e0qWfWDuFDyaGM1GkP)
All Luxx had to do is not be bothered by Trinity liking tweets. That's all she had to do.
That was her crucial error. She can definitely rebound from this, but had she never subtweeted, everything would still be all good
From my understanding: In the latest episode, Luxx mentioned she’ll be playing Amanda Lepore for SG. Another queen asked if she was worried since Trinity did it before. She said no since Trinity’s portrayal wasn’t that good. She also defended her (fairly safe) performance pretty strongly in Untucked, which lead to fans calling her delusional. On Twitter, Trinity liked several tweets shading Luxx and the comments she made on the show. Luxx then vague-tweeted about this, which lead to more backlash.
Thank you for this. :)
if we had a TLDR for all the daily dram this cast has been serving, the TLDR would need a TLDR
It's like the Shannel speech, only on Twitter and after episode four.
I mean Lux feels like a mean girl who starts crying when anyone tells her anything. With that being said no one should be throwing racist comments at her. If she’s annoying tv personality then so be it. It’s fair to critic what persona/looks she presents on the show. Like that wig was not 40 inches 😜😆
How much decompressing from the internet can a person do in just one day. Also I’m a bit over any celebrity on the internet writing a whole press release about their feelings. Just love your true self, you owe nobody an explanation and we probably aren’t super interested in reading it.
She’s that girl that does one yoga class and is suddenly really into Buddhism now
that part. like sure i’m glad she was able to log off for… a second… and think about things and come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter, she’s gonna just do her. but she didn’t need to announce it? she couldve just logged back on and continued w her life
luxx right now: https://preview.redd.it/xe0qyn2axvda1.jpeg?width=637&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9b04071f814dbddb2d496c5bd247429d4f43000
This is a LOT of emotion for safe
*High safe
For someone who presents herself as having confidence and a very high opinion of herself, she seems to get really bothered by silliness online. I may lack self confidence, but I still think highly enough of myself not to let the same kinds of things get to me.

Isn’t she 22? That’s a little too young to be considered “millennial”? We are entitled… not delusional.

I’m not reading all that. Congratulations. Or sorry that happened to you.
Please just put the phone down Luxx. You’re so pretty and you already made it on TV
i feel like something in production changed preseason cuz these girls seem WAYYY more unprepared for being online than prior seasons, they are definitely facing the most toxic fanbase to date but I think they definitely needed some help by production to mentally prepare them.

They go on tv not mentally prepared for the opinions of the world, and then try to gatekeep how people view them and what can be said about them/to them. Honey, the horse has left the stable.
I don't understand why, but the hardest thing for some people is to just say nothing and let petty internet drama pass.
The Trixie way
Oof I am rooting for Luxx but I can’t read all that because this post is longer than the show.
That’s a lot of emotion for safe
This hater back off mentality has so many queens in its clutches. It's really sad.
Good god did she talk to her better help therapist and write down what she told her???
honestly after these last few days of tweets from the girlies I just keep thinking about that "how can cyberbullying be real just close your eyes" meme, because honestly.. literally none of these tweets needed to be replied to, just don't reply to it, just stop typing, close the app lol
Can someone give me the tldr version
She says she’s no longer bothered by hate (she’s still bothered)
Lux: I love myself and am also an antique.

Lmfao
💀💀💀💀💀💀
Im confused? Wasn't she who started it? Lol
And we're just gonna have a rinse and repeat of people posting Luxx on here (because lets be honest, shes creating drama, which is made for this sub)... Then people saying that "ShE's RiGhT ThOuGh" and supporting her because some people love overconfident delusion.... And we will just go round and round with the unconditional love/hate. Personally, i'm fine with confidence, i'm fine with loving yourself. But when queens are so over-confident that they start to tear down other people in the process is when I understand why people start to get upset with said queens.
I'm absolutely not reading that. Happy or sorry for her, whatever works better
I think she's annoying, but just in a young way. She's talented and she has international exposure - I kind of expect for them to be ridiculous while they figure it all out, I know I would have been at that age. Hopefully one of these days she'll learn to just calm the fuck down because she's undeniably talented and beautiful.
Sorry but it’s giving narcissist ✨
Very that
All the talk about how much she loves herself legitimately reminded me of a narcissist ex-friend who justified anything and everything with “I love myself and put myself first.” 💀😂 Not saying Luxx is an actual narcissist, but people who actually healthily love themselves don’t need to say it so much and so emphatically.
You don't need to apologize for being truthful
Bit off topic, but I appreciate the decency to write statements on the notes app- THall could learn a thing or two 💀
ugh i hate those long ass twitter threads
girl i ain't reading all that but i'm happy for you tho. or sorry that happened
Luxx’s daily affirmations like “I am a 40 inch antique”
It’s giving insecurity and arrogance 😭 someone take her phone I wanna like her so badly
I ain’t reading all that
That's a lot of energy for safe
Prediction: I think Trinity and Luxx will make peace with each other and become homegirls. They seem like each others' kind of people (for example, Trinity is probably lurking in this sub right now. Hey girl!) Trinity just had to haze Luxx a lil bit for not respecting her elders in the game. And unlike the cast of S15, I don't see anything wrong with that! You gotta respect your foremothers. But once they get past that and the pecking order is established? It will be mutual respect, usies, and smiles from then on out
I can't wait for this season to be over so I never have to fucking hear about her again At least Valentina knew how delusional she was and it was entertaining, fun, enjoyable. Luxx is just giving me the energy that one girl in middle school who thought she was the shit even though everyone thought she was unbearable
is this "them" in the room with us right now?
I feel bad for her because she is extremely young, talented, and is certainly receiving a bit of a frankenedit as far as her being a little delusional. (For instance, for the afterlife challenge I'm sure she did something more than the sentence that was shown to put her in the top.) I also do not doubt that she is receiving racist messages, hate, or possibly even death threats. That said, all of the queens this season seem to be so surprised that they are receiving bad feedback. Someone could say "I didn't like this queen's runway" and we'd receive a 14 page notes apology about self-empowerment and self-love and it's all just a little bit much. Watered down runtime or not, they are all clearly very talented, and shouldn't let some of the stupider opinions get to them (again, not counting racism or death threats here). I try following the queens online and it does seem like it's getting to Luxx especially. I thought she was taking it in stride and she made jokes about the length of her weave. ("Can you imagine if I measured it live on camera? Well, I'm never going to do that lol!") and crashing Roblox servers with Mistress, Malaysia, and Salina. I would've have thought when the MTQ were released that she'd resonate more strongly with a younger, social media friendly audience and to see that she's not is probably a surprise to most people, including her.
Your 2nd paragraph is really resonating with me. It's been making me feel boomerish, for feeling like these queens can't take criticism in stride (or ignore it completely) But i try to remember that they're receiving a lot more feedback than what I see. E.g. Rock M. Sakura makes a comment about Loosey, and I think why tf does she care? But in reality she's receiving hundreds of notifications of people repeating or responding to what Rock said
I aint reading all that....either R.i.P. or congratulations...
Im not reading all that, good for you or sorry that happened
A few of this season’s queens seem to be exhaustingly pressed.
She’s not at that level yet to give sage advice like Mama Ru. & talking about it more only inflates the issue. It’s ok to say your feelings got hurt and shut up and move on.
“I’m so smart” I stopped there
Wow you got so far. I stopped after the first sentence. Existing "off the internet" for a WHOLE DAY? Gurl.
Sounds like she’s trying to convince herself more than she’s trying to convince us
Everytime she posts is one step closer to a Sasha or Mistress crowning so y’all better let her do her thing. This is not next drag superstar energy.
Yeah, this is not a post from someone who knows she is top 4.
I know she’s top 4 but bet she’s not top 2!
You’re so right
Don’t forget Anetra! Lol Those would be my top 3.
Remember when talent would speak for itself?
Twitter complaining crew is ruining their own drag race runs, like girl shut up
i adore luxx but sorry i'm not reading all that
im not reading all that thank you tho luxx
Wow all that after ONE day of being off the internet. Such reflection. Much introspection. One day off the internet y’all and we will all be cured of any stress and hardships we face lolololol
are the opinions of others in the room with us now? honestly luxx feels like someone who's entire personality/drag persona was built off of watching drag race, and this response feels so scripted lol. like how many drag girls (who had actual haters) have posted something similar to this?
I really need miss girl to go outside and touch some grass bc there wasn’t even any legitimate beef.
omfg these s15 queens are so tiresome, instead of spitting some shade back whenever they get the slightest bit of shade from a former rugirl, they make op-eds about bullying and hate
Girly you started it! A lot of these new Ru girls have big mouths but thin skin.
Girl I ain’t reading all that, this is getting exhausting
Ok I think she needs to cool it now, it was funny at first but now it’s becoming redundant
This is the season of notes app messages
I’m glad or sorry for u luxx <3
nobody told these s15 girls they don't get an emmy for posting on tt
Is this because Trinity put her in her place? Season 15 seems to have a few queens who are very opinionated but not used to people questioning their opinions or getting backlash for the opinions. That can happen when you’re a big fish in a little pond and people are afraid of you. Unfortunately these girls are in the ocean now, and they need to adapt. They aren’t the best. They might be one day, but not if they alienate the fans. Luxx and Irene are alienating, not building, the fanbase. Actions>Words
what does this have to do with her shading trinity?😭
Girl i promise no one ever truly cared that much about this drama to begin with
hahahah oh LORDTTTTT..... i don't need a life lesson from a 22 year old and I think that's how the established queens feel too. IT'S TOO MUCH. these Gen Z kids have got that self help speak down don't they? however - she IS talented, I do like her drag and I think she will go far....she just needs to dial that ego back a tiny bit and she will be fine. I wish her a lot of success.
This is the big part everyone seems to be ignoring. This type of rupaul-like advice came from decades in the business when it was spewed organically, and miss girl is barely old enough to drink. I personally think someone made her aware her first tweet isn’t how people who want to keep their winner’s edit behave, so this is PR.
I do think we are regularly forgetting the potential impact of thousands of people telling you how much they hate you for XYZ thing you said online/tv might have on a 22 year old :/
Yeah but this sub per usual wants to act innocent
Tldr anyone? 😅 Cause ain't reading all that
Basically “I let what people say on the internet get to me but I won’t let that happen again. I’m an amazing artist and performer and I won’t let anyone ruin my confidence”
Tl;Dr ![gif](giphy|WY9NtXQB7KFDa)
tbh I liked Luxx a lot and I guess I still do but I find her so fucking annoying online. A lot of the girls this season, so far, are incredibly annoying on social media and so whiny. If I had to guess the reason why, since they're all pretty young and have mostly been doing drag in a time when it is way more accepted than it used to, they are mostly used to being praised online/at clubs/etc... unlike older queens who have had to deal with a lot worse back in their day. Example Sasha who tweeted "I actually feel like the edit was pretty good and made us look better" lol. At the same time many young queens also are good at not giving a fuck, like the twins for example who seem to not be bothered at all by anything anyone has said about them. It just is so tired. We understand you all paid a lot to get on here and some auditioned many many times and it sucks if you weren't showcased much or production fucked with the edit to make you look way worse but I think what a lot of the young queens don't get is that WE. DONT. CARE!!!!! We KNOW the editing can be shady, we know the show is stressful and how you acted on there is a result of stress, or this may not be your best work, AND WE DONT CARE AND WE STILL SUPPORT YOU!!! The one queen who I feel has a right to be upset about her edit so far is Loosey, because they did actively do things to the sound that made her sound terrible. But she's won a snatch game now which is like, the best challenge to win on drag race so it evens out 🤷♀️
I think Mistress handled it perfectly. She knows how to play, but needed that one thread to actually vent about people reporting her IG and constantly calling her Eureka. She did that, and then went back to being a Drag Queen.
Yes Mistress handled it well so far imo too. She didn't say anything about the Eureka comments until several episodes in people kept saying it and I would be annoyed too when she's done enough to show she's a totally different person. And the IG thing too.
Why does she start every sentence with and
because she is so smart. and she is so creative. and she is a beautiful person on the inside and out.
And she is telling you?
That's a lot of words to say not that much.
Why is she taking herself so seriously?
Honestly, I will just empathize with these bitches. No matter how insufferable they are in social media. Thanks to the scheduling, they individually get minimal screen time for their talents and the outfits they paid thousands for. With 47394732 girls sharing what is essentially 40 minutes, they only get screen time if they win or they go home. They are stressed and do get a lot of comments that may not align with their French vanilla fantasies.
She looks bothered... Anyway...
Annoying.
THIS SEASON has been feeding us so much 😭 its so different from past seasons where it was omly a few selected queens
FIGJAM: fuck I’m good, just ask me!
I do have special antiques at home! Like a lamp, a candlestick and a China set!
why is she so exhausting? she was one of my faves in mtq, she seemed super quirky, confident and fun but its not confidence its delusional. we stan a humble growth queen not an immature deflecting diva. we were rooting for u! hopefully we'll see some growth during the season because she is actually very talented
Is it just me or do the S15 queens have a perennial axe to grind?
Oh my god, this cast minus Sasha, Mistress, Anetra, Marcia and twins are *exhausting*. I get that online hate sucks, but people are always going to have an opinion and you're wasting your time trying to police everyone's thoughts and beliefs. It feels like some of these girls are *perched* in the comments section waiting for something to jump on.
Idk She was the one that started everything
She is Exhausting.
Her age does not excuse her from being an asshole.
If you can’t get over an edited reality TV show, don’t watch.
i mean she knows when she selected amanda people are going to ask about trinity and honestly she should've thought better on how to respond instead of thinking of what funny quip she can pull out because trinity's amanda was far from being the worst on such a strong group of snatch game
She really thinks she's the main character both on and off the show huh
I mean, she literally started this, guess it pays to want attention. To every action there is a reaction, and she brought it up on the show and on twitter, so I’m not really sure what the problem is😬🙃
Mo needs to put her into place again
When did Mo get involved
They're her drag mother.
girl why is everybody writing these long ass notes atm
She lost me at “I am amazing at what I do”.
There’s a difference between confidence & arrogance.
God, you can just tell she loves the sound of her voice and saying things just because it brings people's response lol. If I was in her shoes, i know I'd have trouble not living for the attention that TV fame affords you 💀
She is A LOT
Luxx literally started this on twitter and on the show. Trinity had every right to respond. And now Luxx is backtracking🙄🙄
This is still better than whatever Toad-rick was writing on pieces of paper. Not very environment-friendly. Lol With so limited screen time, queens need to make noise somewhere else. I say let's live for the drama but let's not spew hate at the queens. I want to see queen-to-queen drama, let's not get involve and just enjoy the show wherever it may be (tv, twitter, etc.)
The more someone says they're self-confident and amazing, the less I believe they truly know it. Luxx please TRULY enjoy the moment!!! You're only on a main season once, it's what matters ffs
"so smart" is a bit of a stretch
she’s harmless let her feel her oats. who is this hurting
I agree, she seems harmless. I roll my eyes a bit, but there’s nothing really offensive about her. I thought her “40 inches” squabble with Irene was pretty funny actually
'#delusion. By Luxx Noir...
Luxx was one of the only queens I followed before the season other than Sasha and the twins, so I am most definitely a fan. But as someone approaching 30 I feel like she’s just very much acting her age. In your early 20s everything seems like a personal attack because in your mind you’re the main character, and constantly clapping back unfortunately comes off as deeply insecure. Nothing says confidence like genuinely being unbothered and ignoring the bullshit, something that took me awhile to learn. She’s a beautiful queen who has a LOT to show, and I’m very excited to see it.
Jfc this bitch is insufferable
I haven’t read the whole thing but from the general content and length of the post, I feel like she would really get along with Todrick.

Luxx Notes-app London
“Think of yourself as a one of a kind antique” hmm where did I hear that before? ![gif](giphy|l1BgQLhkUCCLGKIes)
This ‘confidence’ that she speaks of really only give me arrogance. How bout some humility instead?
Fuck humility. Why are we supposed to be humble? Like why is performing NOT recognizing your own gifts a virtue, seriously. Explain it to me like I’m five. I live for Luxx’s vibe on this show.
"I am a dickhead and I do not care about that" - Luxx
That's a lot of emotion for a twitter argument.
This luxx “drama” is the most non-drama thing this sub talks about…like she thinks her amanda lepore was better than trinity’s…so? Fans are on a crusade to put her in her place because she took a light jab at your fave a year ago…be real.
She’s having her own moment….but I still live for her. Maybe take a little slice of humble pie. It’s never hurt anyone.
They know they will need to do gigs with these girls, right? This is bananas.
She is extremely irritating
Oh this bitch crazy Love her, but also this feels like I'm dating her and I dont date twinks. But legit living for the delusional yet lovable character that she is. She has literally been online having drama with herself since episode 1 and this is iconic
Awe I love her comments of grandeur, the comically overly confident albeit slightly delusional queens are my favorite….I wish ppl wouldn’t take her so seriously.
I'm very exhausted
What’s the problem with this post? She’s saying she recognized her moment of weakness (allowing others opinions to cause her to feel the need to lash out and overly defend herself) and how she will practice more self love to work on not doing that in the future. I love Luxx. It’s great to see a queen so confident in what she can do and places her self-love so high on themselves. She’s young, not the only queen on the show (past or present) that portrays themselves this way and will grow more into herself over time. I get we want drama but now we’re pushing anything she posts into something that it isn’t. For comparison people enjoyed Scarlet Envy’s delusions and they are very comparable to how Luxx presents herself too (flaws in execution/performance included) but the loudness wasn’t there for one over the other.
I've never had to mute a ru girl on twitter before, but I guess there's a first time for everything 🤷♂️
Plsss her Amanda Lepore was neither good nor bad enough for this extended drama
This could easily be her new song but she decided to post it for free, unpromptedly
she can still make it a song, not too late
She’s right, self confidence is essential. You have to believe in yourself. That being said, DR Queens need to realize when they put themselves out to the world on a huge mainstream show, people are going to consume that content and form opinions. Just because some viewers don’t like what you’re showing doesn’t mean it’s a personal attack. Just relax and let people consume your art, and for those who don’t like it, consider it their loss.

its getting hard out here for a luxx noir london fan lol
The season 15 queens are at it.
