I’m within the Glitch Theater on the San Diego Conference Heart throughout TwitchCon 2024, watching a drag artist dressed as Silent Hill’s Pyramid Head lip-sync to a nu-metal track on stage. The group is a mixture of high-profile streamers like Central Committee and KaceyTron, smaller Twitch associates, and followers—and all of them live for the third annual TwitchCon Drag Showcase. JuiceBoxx, a streamer and one of many hosts this yr, has her face plastered everywhere in the conference heart. Ru Paul’s Drag Race celebrity Trixie Mattel has a make-up house on the present flooring the place staff are providing magnificence suggestions and touch-ups, and at an off-site Capcom occasion, a number of drag queens mill about, their hair practically grazing the ceiling of the bar. Pronoun pins can be found for attendees to show on their badges, and non-profits like TransLifeline have cubicles on the present flooring. — Alyssa Mercante
