Miss America to judge brains instead of looks

[Elegiac]

Another year, another antiquated dying tradition trying to keep up with the times. Not shocked but not surprised either.

Millennials are Killing the Beauty Pageant Industry.

Didn't you know that millennials are currently doing the No Mercy run?

No sleep until we kill ALL THE INDUSTRIES!

Well, it would seem that they have just ensured that Miss America will never win a Miss Universe competition again.

I can see it now, Miss America, an avid gamer, Yale graduate and Mensa member, strutting her stuff in a bikini.

Is anyone surprised that sarahtasher is banned right now?

I think he sometimes gets a pass due to his "condition".

Down with the patriarchy and its misogynistic beauty pageants!

Hopefully this is sarcasm, because it's pretty stupid.

It encourages a culture where women are judged based on their looks, nothing good comes from that.

So you mean it encourages natural behavior that both men and women take part in?

All that's fine, but no one wants to see a half-naked fat girl. Perhaps them losing the bikini portion is actually a good thing if they're veering away from aesthetics.

Who still watches the miss america "competition"?

[lummiuster]

For real. The worst is that these feminists definition of "smart" doesnt even match the society definition of smart. From that statement, I expect all the candidates to hold a PhD degree. But instead, we will see a party of art students saying how they desire to stop famine in africa while being totally useless.

Do you actually know what PhD stands for?

The # of people watching this each year continues to drop. They are reaching for a "new" audience but I doubt it will work.

Since this is about people gawking at almost nekkid ladies and thinking "oo they're sexy", personally I've always though these kinds of pageants have felt super clinical to me, and the contestants have felt like manufactured dolls. Maybe it's the paintjob, the wigs, or maybe it's the horribly unsexy swimwear, who knows. In any case, I'll just chime in as a representative of the supposed "target audience" and say nothing of value is being lost.

All pageants can just be ended right now.

Am I the only person naive enough to think that these things also already included things like talent or intelligence? It isn't a topic that has ever particularly interested me; but I thought that for a long time just being a pretty face and good body wasn't enough and, almost like university, its the "extra curricular" stuff that was the decider...

Pretty huge dick

That 'new audience' were that same vapid cretins who marvel tried to appeal to, just for them to loose sales when they realised they weren't buying their feminist aimed comics

Are we still repeating the myth that Marvel's push for diversity in comics was what resulted in their decline versus their terrible business management decisions? Lol.

Industries which are contingent upon sexism shouldn't survive. Just sayin'.

Or maybe you have an invalidated assumption based on your own social and political narrative, and rather then looking at the facts, just assume what fits your beliefs.

Yeah, your the sort the tried to appeal to and realized it was a mistake.

[Sage89]

I am happy to see the change, we are progressing.

100 bucks this idea came from a fat woman.

Pot, kettle.

The sort that doesn't particularly enjoy superhero narratives but still highly enjoys the graphic novel as a medium? Lol.

Marvel's just a victim of something that has befallen many other publication industries; namely that the internet has made the cost of traditional printed media unprofitable, on top of already being a niche market.

Or did the nasty feminists kill the pulp magazine industry as well?

[Dolus]

If they're going to judge based upon personality and philanthropic deeds, then Betty White should enter. But, no one is going to watch the competition.

Miss America was just softcore porn for men before the invention of the Internet. So men now don't watch Miss America cause there's way better stuff online. You could move it to brains, but nobody is going to watch it without a hot body. Also if you think we're progressing then don't Google Shadman, you'll be disappointed.
