      Both promote suffering for entertainment. In both cases that means both contestants and societal impact.

      In dog fights, dogs get killed and people seeing them normalized get desensitized towards animal cruelty.

      In pageants, models are incentivized to starve themselves and to subject themselves to cosmetic surgery, and people seeing that normalized feel like they need to do the same because of body image issues.

      I think the comparison is pretty spot on.

        This is the first I’ve heard of the cosmetic surgery! I’m surprised they don’t treat that like steroids in major sporting competitions.

      How? I genuinely believe there’s no real value in shallow events like this. I’m from Thailand and their kinda big deal here but nothing positive ever came from one other than some memes. Fortunately pageants are in extreme decline and they’ll be gone without any particular effort from us.

        tbh I’m more afraid of people who speak the truth on behalf of ‘us’

          Sorry for being a part of my community and society I guess?

            even if you spoke for all of them (you don’t) your initial comment would still make no sense lol
