* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The show tackles certain issues found within the gay community by [[ADayInTheLimelight focusing on each Super Drag]] in a given episode, such as [[WeightWoe body]] and [[GenderedInsult fem shaming]] (Patrick), [[IHaveNoSon family rejection]] and [[CureYourGays conversion therapy]] (Ralph), and [[TheGadfly austerity]] (Donizete). Unfortunately, the topics are handled in a rather immature way, so much that the lessons get lost in the middle of rapid-fire jokes and nonsensical pop culture references. Due to the entire season only containing ''five'' 23 to 25-minute episodes, said issues are resolved as quickly as they were introduced.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: The cartoon is obviously going for TimmStyle with more emphasis on exaggerated features but a lot of characters just wound up looking... off, which proves there is such a thing as too much exaggeration.

* {{Squick}}: The close-ups shots of someone's bulge, for some. Combined with the unfitting art style and [[GagPenis the disproportionate size]], it comes off as FanDisservice, even if it's on a hot guy.

The USA has a very vibrant and active drag(queen) culture that has practically nestled itself into mainstream culture in the past few years. The contencious argument that it is "transphobic" is vehtemtly argued against in America.


* ValuesDissonance: Brazil still has an active diva drag culture, as America had until a few years ago. As LGBT individuals became more integrated in society in America drag shows declined and began to be seen as transphobic or stereotypical. Patrick actually serves as a bit of lampshading on this, being a borderline SoapBoxSadie who accuses others of being ageist, homophobic, privileged and even "pussyphobic".[[note]]After he and Ralph were released from a creature's cocoons and the latter assumed they had been squirted on by a giant vagina and began screaming. He chides Ralph for being that, [[HypocriticalHumor but he screamed himself]].[[/note]]

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretaion: In Sandoval's advert for King's Come Camp, a recent "graduate" flatly states "Gross, I'm straight" after his overjoyed father hugs him.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The show has gotten this reaction due to its designs, from a distance at least, making it look a lot more like a kids show (especially in comparison to other adult shows). Assumingly because of this, an age warning is given in the beginning of each episode saying that the series isn't suitable for anyone under 16.
