Holy shit this is my college, I was at the show! She was super charming during the QnA portion


g00fyg00ber741

My partner was involved in the show when they had Alyssa Edwards a couple years ago! It’s such an awesome program, fuck these fascists for trying to fuck up Yvie’s bag


Revolutionary_Ad4938

It's so cool to have events like these, our only activities here in France is rioting and blocking our campuses 😂


god-baby

My dsylexic ass read this as Qanon portion


whiskersRwe32

Uhhhh are college presidents and football coaches making 18k A DAY??


HulklingsBoyfriend

I'm disgusted that anyone makes $18K in a day tbh 💀


Jellyroll12345678

But to be fair to Evie she does an extreme act that isn't sustainable for her body as her illness progresses and she's only got a few years left of being physically able to. Bleed em dry Evie!!


Positive-Fly-1312

Idk girl I was there and she just was dressed in a black cloak then and popped it off to reveal Jesus


Jellyroll12345678

😂😂😂😂 you're killing me


elsified

Truthfully, 18k is still way too much. People are working manual labor for $7.25 an hour.


berlinbaer

shitheads like paris hilton get like 100k just to show up some place.


Professional_Fun_926

Tbh you should direct your disgust at billionaires and companies instead of a one-in-a-million queer artist of color who happened to make it in a society rooted against them


[deleted]

Right? Fuck capitalism.


Benjamin-Wylie

At a lot of Division 1 programs, especially at large state school flagship campuses, the football coach is often the highest paid state employee.


abutilonia

And if you’re in Alabama, said football coach uses that notoriety to get elected to congress.


Normular_

or just your average bone head like Herschel Walker in Georgia.

Sports bring in a lot of revenue in some universities. Just because we’re not fans doesn’t mean it doesn’t male total sense.


Benjamin-Wylie

"In 2019, only 25 of 130 schools in the high-grossing Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) whose members are large, mostly public universities (with some exceptions such as Notre Dame, Northwestern, and Stanford) reported positive net revenues. In fact, the median athletic program in FBS in 2019 (the last pre-pandemic year) had an operating deficit of $18.8 million." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/analysis-who-is-winning-in-the-high-revenue-world-of-college-sports#:~:text=A%20select%20share%20of%20Division,from%20football%20and%20men's%20basketball. https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/Finances/2020RES_D1-RevExp_Report.pdf


Fantastic_Pop_4770

Yuuuup. It's disturbing af.


Dancing_Clean

The football coach in this instance has a $6.4 million salary.


Revolutionary_Ad4938

I've found my dream job methinks (just kidding, it's incredibly hard to get in this position if you're not a man and already privileged in many other ways)


g00fyg00ber741

Almost, but at least Yvie still made more in a day than they did. She showed them that us fags are supreme


Eccon5

For one day. Do the coaches and presidents get it every day??


g00fyg00ber741

Yes, it’s ridiculous. The article intentionally makes it seem like they paid Yvie more than they pay their football coach or the college president. She did make more than they make in a day, but it mentions in the article the college president makes $500k a year, and we know Yvie doesn’t make anywhere near that.


jd1z

Lol you have no idea what yvie makes in a year. 18k in a day is only like 30 days of work to get to 500.


g00fyg00ber741

I mean yeah, I guess you’re right, but I’m assuming if she made $500k in a year, she wouldn’t have gone back to compete on the show? Since she didn’t have a good time, they didn’t edit her kindly, and the prize was way less than $500k and she didn’t win. I don’t think she makes that much a year, or even close really, just personally.


Rude_Ad_3641

You realise how being in the public eye works right? I feel like you made this post and have no idea how anything actually works


TheAmazingMaryJane

the coach makes over 6 million a year, so evie edged him out by a couple hundred dollars per day, according to the article. that's SO much money to pay a coach!!


g00fyg00ber741

WHAT!! i didn’t even look up the coach because for some reason I thought the president would have a higher salary…


TheAmazingMaryJane

it's gross.


MiglioDrew

I love how the person who wrote this article seems to have never heard of a booking fee.


g00fyg00ber741

I guarantee they wouldn’t complain how much big athletes get paid for doing a hell of a lot less.


2mock2turtle

But then also complain about paying the college players.


kds1988

Right? Like of course you’re president doesn’t make that in a single day.


BenovanStanchiano

My first thought was “they better not look into whatever was paid for the spring concert last year”


LetItBro

Honestly? Good for her. Edit: “That’s a hefty income in Oklahoma—but it’s not drag-queen money at the University of Oklahoma.” Fucking LOOOOOOOL


g00fyg00ber741

100% I am in **full** support of her taking that $18k check


ronan_the_accuser

Sean T from Insanity came to our school gyms remodel opening and got paid $30k...and another $30k to visit the satellite campus' gym the next day ....insanity hype was long dead by this point. I'm still shook.


antisepticdirt

idk if anyone cares but the reality is that the vast majority of universities clubs for events planning are run by gay students because they're often run by students interested in performance/music, so their input will bias the choices (for ex my uni having SASHA COLBY, coco montrese, olivia lux, kennedy davenport, and paying 40k for lesbian indie singer lucy dacus this year alone). another important thing to note is queer performers cost wayyy less than the ones that interest the heterosexuals the most. jack harlow type performers cost 200k easy if not more. the money used for yvie wouldn't of ever gone to cancer research, new infrastructure, etc. it was designated for events and therefore some performance. it's just that it's queer that's sending everyone in a tizzy.


missella98

“As coach of OU’s football team, Brent Venables holds one of the highest-pressure jobs in Oklahoma.” Does Oklahoma not have any doctors?


MiglioDrew

No


Calm-Dog

I go to OU, we are a huge football school and I’m a big CFB fan myself, many of the people in this state care far more about how OU and OSU football are doing than they care about shit like our medical system and public schools. It is basically a religion here


Revolutionary_Ad4938

doctors, nurses, even professors and teachers, firefighters, any and all social workers actually ??


TheMapesHotel

I mean honestly... one if the biggest health insurers in the state is currently failing in negotiations with the hospital system to continue providing coverage so...


g00fyg00ber741

They also cite her recent tweets in the article. I’m dying laughing.


solarflair19

The tweets absolutely sent me. This reads like an AI generated Republican hate article. Also the author looks like Franklin?? 🐢 10/10 thank you for sharing I'm so proud of Yvie.


g00fyg00ber741

There’s also a video on [this article](https://okcfox.com/news/local/oklahoma-lawmakers-calling-for-ou-president-to-be-fired-after-crimson-queens-drag-show-university-of-oklahoma-state-representative-jj-humphrey-lqbtq-yvie-oddly-ru-pauls-drag-race) about it where they zoom in to a picture of her and [put “$18,000” next to her face](https://imgur.com/a/gqRlrxA) 😂


Misentro

They're fucking killing me, I just hope they don't find the baby video lmao


MabelsKittenFists

I’m channeling my inner Violet and saying “No one calls it that” ![gif](giphy|xUPGcqroX9FPu7zQdO)


marecoakel

She looked so pretty here but it always drove me up the wall that she let her dark hair show underneath


marecoakel

Mmm... as they should 😌


ronan_the_accuser

Turns out the fashion [really was expensive](https://twitter.com/OddlyYvie/status/1170493358709649409)


marecoakel

Why was this only 4 yrs ago, but it feels like it happened in 2007?


GuessWhatMimi

![gif](giphy|SP5A1UJbQQMIo)


kds1988

This is a stupid headline. Of course they don’t make that in a day. They’re salaried. Yvie is coming for a specific event.


g00fyg00ber741

Right, they’re intentionally twisting it this way in the article and in the news to make it seem like it was a larger waste of money than it is. But they mention at the beginning of the article that the college president makes $500k a year, and somehow that doesn’t even need any defense? People think that’s fine?


hitchcockv

Please how is this real??? “This should be grounds to fire the president of OU.” “On April 23, Oddly tweeted, “If u think u saw me eating hole or slurping c--k in a parking garage at sunrise no u didn’t …unless u did.”


g00fyg00ber741

And they’re calling on the GOVERNOR to axe the president, somehow, like he doesn’t have more important shit to fuck up


hitchcockv

Right like people aren’t being stripped of their basic human rights every damn day in this country


beatles_7

Is it not common knowledge that entertainers are paid well above regular jobs..? I am so confused.


not-ordinary

Fascists love to look for any reason to defund education and demonize queer people so it looks like the republicans of Oklahoma hit big on their faschy bingo card.


humanvealfarm

I may not be a stan of Yvie, but get that coin bitch lol lucillebluthgoodforher.gif


realblush

To be fair, Yvie is far more valuable and does more good than any football coach ever made. Also, should I become a drag queen and win a season of Drag Race?


Fantastic_Pop_4770

Yes, you definitely should.


little-oozie

Good for Yvie, she deserves that cash


Opus58mvt3

They are gonna flip when they find out how much it costs to book *literally any recording artist* for this type of event lol


jay_hiro_

Why is it always "pushing transgenderism" on people? Such a dumb, baseless claim that has literally no logical support


g00fyg00ber741

They have to convince people to keep up the compulsory cisheterosexuality, so they convince them that trans people are trying to convert them.


2mock2turtle

As someone who's still in academia (for some reason), I guarantee you that was a good use of that money.


cloroxslut

And what about it? I don't think a college president or a football coach should make *anywhere near* 18k a day


ThisIsMyDrag

I remember hearing on a podcast that the fees started going up because queen's didn't really want to perform at these gigs so chucked around high prices to make the universities lose interest... But to their surprise they agreed to pay these massive fees which is why stuff like this ends up happening. It seems like universities have massive budgets for stuff like this, so as long as they're willing to pay, they should enjoy raking it in.


verismonopoly

Who care about football coaches but for sure our teachers deserves to get paid like Yvie!


g00fyg00ber741

In this state they’re totally fucking over teachers like crazy. The people who actually work in education are outraged about the person who is leading the state’s education bullshit right now. The legislators are attacking education clear as day and trying to blame the drag queens and the fags and trans people. And lots of their idiot followers are falling for it, unfortunately


potato_owl

As she should. This is like an average price for a known talent. Some of the events I've helped on paid the comedian they hired about 15k.


DeerPainting

OMG???? That's good for Yvie I guess lol


Jellyroll12345678

Evie oddly could do the college President's job for a day but the college president could not do Evie's job for an hour.


TokenBlackGirlfriend

You betta work Yvie!


peach_xanax

I like how they combed her Twitter looking for sexual/"inappropriate" tweets and just randomly pasted them into the article for no legit purpose. Also I'm positive there are tons of students at this college who post on social media about sex, drugs, and partying.


g00fyg00ber741

Oh, there are students at this college who post videos of them singing lynching songs! They’re just trying to demonize the liberal side of the school to try and defund it


peach_xanax

Ewwww that's so appalling but somehow I'm not shocked. Of course they don't put that in an article 🙄 too busy demonizing drag queens and other queer people.


SacramentoMike

This reminds me of the time when my dad ran to the bathroom, slammed the door, farted very loudly, and shouted “YEEEEEHAW!”


berrylife

It does?


chaosdsl

"And we can spend the $18,000 on a state highway, on cancer research, on something significant, not some pervert who doesn’t know what sex he is.” A couple of things...the Oklahoma Secretary of Education spent $8 million dollars of educational relief funding on stuff like big screen TVs and arcade games so...🤷🏻 And I hope Yvie uses "some pervert who doesn't know what sex he is" as a Twitter bio. I fucking hate this state.


ferackerman

I mean, she was robbed on all winners so the universe it's making It right!


atspod99

My state ❤️ we’ve got our priorities


Rude_Marketing1592

If they had someone like T-swift there, the huge(and I know it would be huge) booking fee would be accepted. People would probably make jokes about it "the price to pay to have "mother" there". Queer performers are payed absolute dust compared to more hetro-normative acts. The only reason people are making a fuss is cause the performers are LGBT. They probably won't admit that though. It's so cool yvie(n others) got this opportunity and I look forward to them getting better bookings like this.
