RuPaul is Shaking Things Up!
Most of the time when it comes to
background dancers it usually the females that get over sexualized more than
the males. Well thanks to well-known drag queen RuPaul is starting to change
that with their new music video Geronimo. This video features RuPaul herself
and said to be twerk champion Julian Serrano; during the video the camera going
back forth to solo shots of RuPaul singing and dancing some and Julian dancing
and mostly twerking with either a full back body view or close up to his
behind. This video finally gives girls a chance to take a break and act like men
do when they see girls twerk (with I believe Julian does better than most girls
anyway). But even though this video is one of the rare examples of male backup
dancers being overly sexualized; it did not get really any negative feedback
like music videos where female backup dancers are sexualized. Which seems
unfair and sort of relates to its ok if a man does it but it’s shameful and
disgusting if a woman does it.
Some of the comments on the video:
"Note to Miley Cyrus: THIS IS HOW YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO TWERK"
"I used to be disgusted by guys that loved watching girls twerk, but then I saw a man twerk and Lawd... _ I have seen the light. I live, hunty! I live!"
"I am tired of people just seeing us men as meat ;O. Lol."
