"“I wanna be the very best” Gotcha-if you read that sentence to the tune of the Pokémon anime theme song, then this presentation is for you! For 30 years now, the Pokémon transmedia franchise has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Of course, one can count many queer people among that number-so many that the Pokémon fandom’s queer subculture has only continued to grow alongside the franchise. From this subculture emerges PokéDrag, the intersection of Pokémon cosplay and drag artistry. If you’re interested in hearing more about PokéDrag and how it’s come to be, as well as see some examples, this presentation won’t be one to miss!"
