The reason they do it is to generate a reaction. They want you to get angry, that's the whole point.

All of this drag queen story hour and similar bullshit is intentionally designed to be as provocative as possible. The goal is to force you to make one of two bad moves: Either you let them get away with it, in which case you have demoralized yourself, submitted to a Maoist struggle session and let them groom your kids, or you push back, at which point they cry about how oppressed they are and how you're anti-LGBTQETC. Heads I win, tails you lose.

The goal of this tactic is to do just enough where the law should intervene but won't, to prevent "escalation," then wait for their provocation to erupt in predictable frustration and outbursts that the law will then intervene upon and which will be filmed and used as propaganda. Of course, it also helps that friendly district attorneys enable this sort of behavior by looking the other way when they should intervene.

The ultimate goal of drag queen story hour is Drag Floyd. They want someone to go too far. They want one of these drag queens to get martyred, because they will then hold up that martyr as proof that they are oppressed, they are marginalized, they are victims, that anti-LGBTQ hate has reached violent proportions through stochastic terrorism online by people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Elon Musk, and we need to bring in the force of the law to protect them, and there will be huge lawsuits. #DragFloyd will trend on Twitter, the drag queen will rest in state in a gold coffin, woke politicians and influencers will cry in front of cameras, Antifa will riot in every city on the west coast, and thousands of gullible dupes will empty their bank accounts into the hands of grifters. It will be the summer of 2020 all over again.
