I’ve read that even prior to her getting on the show, Katkat shaded someone on season 1 (IIRC Minty), saying they picked someone who looks good only in photos, thus her standee for her entrance look—she looks good in photos and in person. I read that she already got hate from that. Someone also dug up an Islamophobic tweet she did; a terrorist group was laying waste to a city in southern Ph around that time, though that doesn’t excuse what she posted. She also once did a Grace Jones look as a tribute but painted her skin dark, practically doing blackface. When she got called out for it around the time s2 was about to start, she made a comment how Black people have so many gripes when what she did was a tribute.

I’m not making an excuse for the things she’s said and done. A lot of Filipinos are ignorant about cultural and societal issues; our being a developing country with a high poverty rate plays a large part in this. Nonetheless, those who get called out for ignorant remarks have to learn to apologize and acknowledge what they did was wrong. Katkat has apologized since, so I’m willing to see whether she’s learned from all this and will know to think first before saying or doing something ignorant or mean. Her drag sisters seem to love her, so I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt

Wow that was a long reply
