This year’s Miss Universe pageant has gone full out woke embracing diversity, equity and inclusion.
It also just recently filed bankruptcy.
This year’s contestants include two transgender men, a plus-sized contestant (i.e. fat) and mothers. (Apparently it’s ok to play fast and loose with the rules and ignore the fact this is “Miss” Universe.)
No issue with mothers or having a thick contestant, but trannies? Not down wit that
Back in the 60's I had a girl friend that belonged to a dance troupe that performed at the pageant. Back when beauty meant beauty. It has evolved over the years to just another poop show. I don't watch it or know any one that does.
Doesn’t Donald Trump own the Miss Universe Pageant?
^Trump Derangement Syndrome, lol
Trump sold the Miss Universe Organization, which includes Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, in September of 2015. Talent agency and entertainment company WME/IMG bought the organization, but the financial details were not disclosed, according to Variety.
This used to be about beauty and talent. Now its just more progressive stupidity. There are women and there are men. Trans - mental illness.
I love how Fox and the Post report this news just to trigger people. The owner of the pageant is a trans Thai woman and this should’ve been expected. I say “expected” on the basis that anyone has watched Miss Universe or any pageant in the last 25 years. Maybe channel surfing and you happen on the swimsuit competition 10 years ago, but watched? Not a fucking chance. There are more posts in this thread than people who watched the pageant in the last ten years.
First of all, I hate the term, "woke." Originally it was meant to mean being aware of past injustices and moving forward with more equity. Then the term got hi-jacked by opportunistic hard right folk as an umbrella term to encompass everything, even unreasonably silly extremist ideas, the original term had nothing to do with.
That being said, a traditional beauty contest like Miss Universe needs to adhere to the standards the title implies. Miss means female and unmarried. If folk want to have a contest that includes multiple definitions of "Miss, " that should be a separate contest with a different title.
the way clown world is progressing might as well add a member that has 3 legs to the rockettes roster. rockerfeller center may never ever be the same after that during xmas time.
maybe start a new contest and air it on the bravo channel: the ultimate transformer beauty pageant.
There were about 100 contestants; two were transgender. Neither won anything. If you want to get excited about that, go ahead. I have trouble caring.
The term "woke" was hijacked by unreasonably silly extremist lefties to advance and mainstream their fringe beliefs. Their success forced other liberals and center- lefts to adopt and promote their formerly fringe beliefs or risk being not woke. The center right and other mainstream Americans have had no choice but to accept this new reality and start pushing back on the woke insanity.
X (Twitter) is the polar opposite of "woke" and it lost 90% of its value (according to Forbes) since they took the guard rails off. Truth Social lost over 31 mill since going live, according to its securities filing last September. Seems "woke" isn't the problem. Extremism is the culprit.
Transgenders, more than meets the eye!
Contards use "woke" because "compassion" and "rational thought" have too many syllables for them.
Libtards use "woke" because they want their idiotic ideas to sound like they should be included in the same categories as more reasonable ones.
Maybe my sense of morals is pretty off, and I don't even watch this stuff anyways...But if there are some transgender adults doing pageants and taking away performance space from 8 year old cis girls in skimpy outfits, then that sounds like a win to me.
You know, most would assume that a site like this is the obvious place where fans of actual adult porn outnumber the fans of outrage porn.
But, with posts like this, it's looking more and more like that's not the case.
I have never watched a beauty pageant. I went to this site ( insider.com ) just to see what all the fuss was about. Netherlands "chick" was obvious on first scroll, but Miss Portugal, not so much. Guess all my future FRMOS will start off with a crotch check!
Now I don't really have strong anti-woke opinions, but I couldn't help but noticed one of the contestants represents woke inclusion and diversity to an outrageous degree. I was irate. Imagine being forced to include a racial minority that represents less than 1% of the population. This woke thing has gone waaay too far! Check out Miss Zimbabwe!
^For the autistic members on the board, the above paragraph was written in sarcasm font.
There are some beautiful unmarried female sheep - who says they’re not the most beautiful in the universe? We don’t even know what the chicks look like on other planets!
Progressives are simply dishonest, filthy, disgusting perverts. They lie 24/7 and their compassion is shown by their marching in support of terrorists. They are to compassion as fecal waste is to fine dining. Liberals hate rational thought and things occurring naturally. They are fake ass cock sucking garbage and that's just the "male" progressives. Woke applies to them.
Partisan tantrums as children's theater is adorable.
“ No issue with … having a thick contestant”
No and it has nothing to do with whether a thick woman can be attractive (she can) or similar. It’s a contest of ideal female attractive form. Thick is not the ideal form. There isn’t a thick man or woman alive who doesn’t know their body isn’t currently ideal. No one would say ‘I have no issue with someone swimming a pro race where the swimmer swims pretty good in a backyard pool’. No, that competition is about ideal swimming. Anything else — whether swimming or intellectual or beauty or “model”ing — is thoughtless emotional feel good impulse being shaped to fit a political ideology. It’s real competition/meritocracy versus everyone gets a participation trophy
I won't watch but I'm still rooting for Miss Zimbambwe
“Partisan tantrums as children's theater is adorable”
Some would suggest a partisan who finds their partisanship in a conspicuously untenable position will then fall back to saying they don’t like partisanship
CEO: “We want our contest to be even bigger than Miss America and Miss World. How do we do it?”
PR Guy: “Its the 70s and we’re in the space race. Let’s call it Miss Universe. Nothing bigger than the universe.”
CEO: “Brilliant! Uhhh…I like trannies. Could we let trannies in?”
PR Guy: “LOL - fuck no! Absolutely no one in viewership wants that.”
CEO: “You’re fired.”
Are strip clubs next?
We’ve already seen an Invasion of the Fatties.
So could we regularly start seeing trannies next.
Buyer beware
^I hear you on the fatties.
I guarantee no one ever said to some of these blah overweight chicks, “Girl, you’ve got a great body. You could make great money dancing.”
It’s more like, “Girl, you have no skills or education, you’re lazy and unreliable, but the Playhouse (or insert low-end club name here) will let practically anyone dance, including you believe it or not, as long as you pay their fee. There are some desperate, weird dudes out there who might give you money.”
I never watch beauty pageants but men in Playboy magazine caused me to cancel my subscription that I had for a couple of decades. I don't care about what anyone does with their own life but I'm not going to pay to see it.
Y’all must really enjoy being mad. Is it fun to be so triggered?
“I was so mad when Bud Light forced me to see trans beer. Wait, it was a single can, not available for purchase and only advertised on a trans influencer’s TikTok so I didn’t see the video until I saw it on Fox?”
“I am so mad that Biden and his green agenda are causing gas prices to be so high. Wait, the US is the number 1 country in the world producing oil in 2023? And the US is pumping more oil in 2023 than in any time in its history? And, the US is a net exporter of oil where we produce/export more oil than we consume/import?”
“I’m so mad that Miss Universe has a dick. Wait, I didn’t actually watch Miss Universe but the Fox Friends showed me how to get mad about it.”
Drink a beer, go to a strip club. Drive your EV to a trans club and order a bud light if that’s your thing. But seriously, be happy. It’s a holiday weekend. Happy thanksgiving.
^yeah, remember when you were claiming to be further right and more conservative than me?
That’s not true at all. I said I was a life long republican and had never voted for a non republican until 2016. Post a link to where I said I was right of you if one exists.
I’m voting for Haley in the primary and would vote for her in the general if she can find her way there. Still true statements even though it would bust your narrative about me being left of the Squad.
A little triggered when confronted with the truth aren't you? I have neither the time nor the concern to prove you wrote what you wrote.
Nothing better than watching some fraud comment on partisan tantrums; never understanding he never shuts up or adds anything except whining about others. Look further up the board....
“Are strip clubs next?”
Sadly the invasion has already begun:
lol gamma. I guess you got me there. Have a good thanksgiving.
The inclusion of shemales was the final straw for me, lol.
Surprise surprise!!!
Victoria's secret fucked up when they tried to pivot away from super hot women. It's ok to make your brand aspirational, especially when it's lingerie.
Miss Universe has always been a bargain bin Miss America. The decline of Network TV almost certainly is what killed it
It's not the Miss Universe Pageant that is declaring bankruptcy. It is the parent company JKN Global Group that is doing that. It's a multi-billion dollar conglomerate that owns several companies, of which the pageant is just one.
And remember that when a business declares bankruptcy, it's not like a when an actual human being does. It's part of a strategy to get out of paying their bills and screw over other people. They have plenty of money.
Yeah, Chicks with Dicks, would end it for me, I can accept a lot of things, but that just crosses my red line. Then on to the fat, who wants to see them in a "Beauty" contest! Mothers???? i know some pretty awesome looking ladies who are not married, but have a kid or two, so I would be OK with that. With all that said, they deserve to go broke. This woke Bullshit needs to end!
