In a shocking turn of events that has sent ripples of – dare we say it – *fabulousness* through the heteronormative world, infamous anti-drag influencer Karen Worthington, known for her viral videos complaining about the 'inappropriate' use of glitter in public spaces and her belief that rainbows are a 'leftist conspiracy,' has joined RuPaul's Drag Race as a guest judge.
Worthington, whose Instagram bio proudly proclaims her love for 'God, guns, and gas-guzzling SUVs,' caused a social media meltdown earlier this year by posting a video where she attempts to 'de-gay' a local pride parade using a high-pressure water hose. This unexpected appointment is being interpreted by some as a bold step towards bridging the gap between conservative and LGBTQ+ communities, while others—mostly those who use glitter responsibly—see it as a bizarre form of performance art.
During her judging debut, Worthington was seen meticulously examining the queens' makeup with a magnifying glass, muttering things like, 'Too much sparkle,' and 'Is that… *eyeliner*? Is it even *waterproof*?' One particularly flamboyant queen, aptly named 'Crystal Methyd II: Electric Boogaloo,' responded by showering her with glitter, leading Worthington to scream, 'It's getting in my organically sourced, non-GMO, ethically-sourced hair!', a line promptly trending on Twitter as #GlitterGate.
When asked about her controversial appointment, Worthington declared: "I'm not homophobic, I just think drag queens should dress more like... well, less like drag queens. And maybe less glitter. Or maybe more... tasteful glitter? I'm still working on my inclusive vocabulary." The statement was immediately met with a chorus of eye-rolls and the sound of thousands of drag queens simultaneously applying glitter to their eyelids.
The producers of RuPaul's Drag Race have remained tight-lipped, merely issuing a statement reading: "Diversity is our middle name. And sometimes, diversity includes those who don't quite get it, but, well, we're still paying them." The future of this peculiar partnership remains as sparkly and uncertain as a rainbow after a glitter bomb explosion.
