I think it was the absurdly retarded latex boobs.

Previous drag-races have made the contestants perform in strip clubs in their best hooker drag, but they didn't have the insane FFF cup sized latex knockers provided by the most random LOLtastic sponsor ever.

idk. I feel like their is a difference between looking sexy and acting sexual. Like if someone wants to show their confidence off, more power to them. But I don't want to see implied sex when I think that kind of stuff should be kept private. Like I said, I am a prude.

I wonder if it wasn't in part some PR crisis management after the end of Season 2/beginning of Season 3 when Ru and the judging panel seemed to come off very anti-boob plates? Perhaps enough drag queens are using boob plates now that Ru & Co. don't want to look out of touch, even if they only deign to give the boobs away as challenge prizes and for low comedy bits like the mini-challenge.

Real sex doesn't bother me and I thought I was a pretty big prude. However, jejune and sophmoric FFF + fantasy breasts do piss me off. It breaks the all important illusion of femininity in the most vile and degrading manner. Especially since the queens were instructed to give off a super sexual vibe.

Part of me is super intolerant of shit like above having volunteered to help people with eating disorders. I take zero joy in celebrating unrealistic body images.
