Newsweek's H. Alan Scott speaks with 'RuPaul's Drag Race' top 3 finalists Plane Jane, Nymphia Wind and Sapphira Cristál.
Rarely has a show had as big of an impact on pop culture as RuPaul's Drag Race has had. Think about it, terms like 'throwing shade' or 'spill the tea' are commonplace on social media, from both people who watch Drag Race but also from people who don't. And when a reality competition show has that level of an impact on how we communicate, you know it's reach is far and wide.
I think the internet just is a beast of its own and people take certain things in certain moments and just run with it. It's very fun, though. It's great. It contributes to this whole pop culture soup. Queer people like ourselves, we use it as fuel for our bizarre queer lingo. 'Planes,' if you will.'For Q, they're seeing the impact of that viral meme in real life.
