It is pertinent that the "drag events" joke does not speak negatively
about any group of people.  Rationally speaking, it is not offensive
to anyone.

Oh boy. I never said anything about the joke being offensive.

But I blame myself for not foreseeing this reaction, since this is the unwelcome I was talking about. This joke's presence in the official documentation communicates (accurately, as this whole exchange has demonstrated) that Emacs is created by people who think that a reference to drag is politically incorrect (and somehow rightfully so) and risqué (else why bring up Victorian prudishness). And that suggests a certain kind of attitude that not everyone has the patience to deal with.

I can see that the line is doing what it intends, so I accept the wontfix.
