The stuffed animals have sparked backlash from conservatives who believe drag is connected to child 'grooming.'
RuPaul takes the stage during the taping of RuPauls Drag Race Season 2 in Culver City JULY 31, 2009. Build-A-Bear, a popular place for kids to build their own stuffed animals, has released an online-only RuPaul bear, complete with a signature wig and gold sequin dress.InstagramThe bear comes in two designs, one with RuPaul sitting and the other with RuPaul standing. Both have RuPaul’s logo on their paw and cost $56 and $64, respectively.
"Start your engines – RuPaul Bear is ready to sashay into your collection!," Build-A-Bear says on its website. "Cover BEAR! Put the fur in your walk. Head to paw, let your whole body talk."The stuffed animals have sparked backlash from conservatives who believe drag is connected to child "grooming," though the bears are made for adults and only available online in the store’s "Bear Cave" for customers 18 and older.
Drag queen RuPaul is honored with a star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 16, 2018 in Hollywood, California. "So, you know, when they say that they’re not coming after the kids, that’s a lie," conservative commentator Ben Shapiro said on a recent podcast. With a long and rich history, drag — the art of dressing as another gender, often for performance — has been attacked by right-wing politicians and activists who have falsely associated it with the "sexualization" and "grooming" of children.
