[Alf]

Have you seen it?

What's all that about?

My favourite page 3 girl has an opinion on it.

Well considering Jessica Meuse is the most attractive woman in Alabama, this competition is null and void.:hmph:

Is the girl in the left picture the current Miss Alabama?

If so then I've got to be brutally honest and say that it's ****ed up, and kind of goes against the purpose of a beauty contest.

It'd be like voting me as Mr. Tamworth.:joker:

I've found an article talking about this topic.

Honestly what the absolute ****? I bet that the male equivalent isn't getting a Rick Waller type of winner.

It's clearly wrong for a couple of very obvious reasons, and I know that it sounds horrible what I'm saying, but it's true that morbidly obese women shouldn't be winning a beauty contest.

Again, common sense has gone out of the window.

An obese trans woman also won one of these beauty contests.

This morbidly obese girl will likely not make 40 years old due to her size

Its grotesque to reward overeating and pretend she is pretty

It was the Maryland one weren't it?

The fact that the se competitions exist at all is BS so really who wins or doesn't win it is moot. It shouldnt be a thing at all.

I do agree with you on that actually, I find the competition to personally be extremely immoral, especially considering a lot of these women start out in the industry as kids.

However as the competition does exist, I will therefore judge it on the criteria that I know is a big part of their contest, which is the beauty of the contestants.

Now don't get me wrong, I get that beauty is subjective, but I don't believe that she was given Miss Alabama because they thought that she was the prettiest or the nicest person, they gave it her to give themselves good PR within a certain niche branch of Feminism (that normally tends to hangout on Twitter,) and basically are encouraging young women who follow these Shows into thinking that being drastically overweight is a beauty standard.

And for some reason there are some crazy people on the Internet that would prefer seeing a woman slowly killing herself by eating 20 slices of Pizza a day, than a woman be healthy and physically attractive to men. Thankfully it's not the majority, but there's definitely enough of them out there to hold influence, even on the things that one of me or yourself might like, SB.

fatshaming ain't a good look?

there is no such word

she is fat

and pretending she isn't is dishonest

facts don't care about your feelings

i'm not pretending she isn't though :nono:


just being respectful by not judging her on her weight

but you agree making her win is judging her

He is telling the truth in my view.

If that's fatshaming, then I'll join him on this crusade, it's a hill I'm very much willing to die on.

Exactly.

Amen. Couldn't give a shiny **** about this topic only that it's gross either way

[Livia]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Do we think this girl doesn't understand that being overweight is dangerous? What I do think is shameful is some 40 year old ex-soft porn model shaming her while trying to drum up fans for herself. That said, why any woman would want to join in the cattle-market competitions is beyond me.

[Nicky91]

fair enough

but you agree making her win is judging her

these miss pageants are more than about beauty alone though, its also about personality

but as if this is anything new, ever heard of ''plus size models'' and like Mika sang ''Big Girls You Are Beautiful''

I will never support the Media endorsing being severely overweight.

Male or female, it's not something that should be being endorsed.

The fact that saying this is apparently fatshaming these days is absolutely crazy to me.

I hold nothing personal against the woman who won the competition, if anything I do feel sorry for her, she's being encouraged to slowly kill herself.

Is the fact that we're agreeing with each other on an ideology meaning that the end of the world is nigh?:joker:

And I'm not a fan of beauty pageants to begin with, yeah people might the whole premise is shallow and superficial,but that's what these competitions are all about. Beauty & health sells .

It's no different to when pretty models are advertising brands on TV :shrug: . Imagine if Chris Hemsworth got replaced on the Hugo Boss ad for some obese Austin
powers character,I don't think it would have the same effect with audiences.

Whether people like to admit it or not ,we prefer to look at athletic sexy attractive people as it's more visually appealing.

child beauty pageants i myself quite dislike honestly, with those small kids being forced into those pageants by their crazy parents :idc:

I don't like child pageants either ,but that isn't really the topic of conversation here.

And I never said plus size models/ actors don't get used in advertising,but it all depends on the product . Your example is of always pads ,not exactly advertising perfume or something with sex appeal :shrug:.

True on all points in my view.

Don't get me wrong though, I don't want say a singing competition to be all about people's looks (although it never hurts to have at least one attractive man, and one attractive woman for ratings,) but overall looks is not my priority on a Show like American Idol or The Voice.

It's all about what the product is about for me, because like you've said yourself, Hugo Boss Adverts need to have attractive men on the products that they're trying to sell to men, because psychologically a lot of guys will try it in the hopes of attracting women like Chris Hemsworth does in general.

Besides the obvious reason, I would wonder why anybody would want a child beauty pageant to exist.
