This is not a SFW instance. NSFW communities will be tagged, and efforts will be made to keep SFW communities clean, but proceed at your own comfort level.
Just like drag, burlesque often contains no nudity, if it had to be 18+, the beach is more revealing. Also keep in mind the anti-trans “protect the children” community are the same demographic that supports child pageants.
Burlesque shows are not automatically 18+. There are all ages shows, 16+ shows, 18+ shows, and even 21+ shows (usually driven by the venue serving alcohol).
Obviously the content can be a factor, and some will have an age recommendation due to language.
Having been to a drag show, it’s really no different than a fashion show. More clothing, actually.
The good ones have more jokes and more singing
Personally I’m a fan of the horror themed ones, like Dragula.
Having been to a drag show, it was a piece of musical theatre, not a fashion show…
Also worth noting: when was the last time they complained about a burlesque show?
I assume those are 18 and up already, right?
