“As a NYC mom of four who has purchased many crocs over the years, What The Heck @Crocs??!!” one woman tweeted. “Why can’t kids ‘walk the runway’ as they are? Why do they need to cross dress? Why are you promoting sexual fetishism to children?”
Video of the Crocs being burned in response to the drag show advertisements has gone viral on social media.
Others called the drag show’s inclusion of children “gross” and “disgusting.”
“Go woke, go broke,” another user tweeted.
Journalist Tayler Hansen shared several Crocs video advertisements promoting drag queens and LGBT narratives.

Last week, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) warned that “any and all actions available” would be taken against venues allowing minors to attend drag shows, such as “A Drag Queen Christmas,” which features performers seen on RuPaul’s Drag Race reality TV show.
Missouri minors were also recently barred from attending a drag show held in a suburb outside St. Louis.
