Uh… I’m not sure this is in good taste…
One of the absurd objections about drag performers doing story times is the false-conflation of drag and kink, and this does not help dispel that misconception.
And I get that this is satirical, but by making it satire, you add an element of kink shaming (which I’m against).
I agree that this seems to be trying to show for humor what other people take as a serious possibility. Whether or not that’s a problem is a bit of a Poe’s law situation. (Is it so obviously ridiculous that it’s clear that the idea is being ridiculed? Or are we assuming that it’s satire when it’s serious? Or . . .)
This is an actual issue my library LGBT services committee has faced so I find it HILARIOUS. Although, I should add we’ve started a special adults only drag story time to help with the issue. 🙂
