Dumping swimsuits and will be open to "women of all sizes".

Let me be the first to point out the sexism of this new policy. "Miss"? "Women"? It's either open to all 46 genders or it's a disgusting, bigoted relic.

A logical person would quickly realize it is impossible to please everyone and stop trying. The morons running this thing will probably open it to all genders next year.

Can't wait until a 600 pound beast from Tennessee is standing on stage at the Miss Universe pageant next to physically fit contestants from countries that haven't lost their fucking minds.

ALL things are bastions of -isms. It only matters if it offends your particular beliefs.

Shit is an insane joke.

You see, this is all about who you know.

And over here you have favoritism.

I'd make a joke about a female Marine being in the contest "but her dick kept showing", but these days would you know I was kidding?

I was going to make a joke about how I hope the winner "liked killing babies with drones" but decided against it.

"How can you kill women and children?"

Miss Alabama 2024 is getting hate.

No, I wouldn't call it hate. I'd call it people rightly being pissed off at how delusional our society has become and the messages we're sending children.

Miss Alabama responds:
Following her Miss Alabama win, cruel trolls chimed in about her appearance, prompting Milliken to hit back.

"Even something that you type over a screen can have a lasting impression on people," she told WKRG.

"Even though I'm not at that point, it can lead people to do some very dark things to themselves."
Listen, you seem like an amazingly good person. Seriously, she does all sorts of good community work. However, while trolls can absolutely lead people to do some very dark things to themselves, you are already doing some dark things to yourself. You're killing yourself, just slowly. You're also preventing yourself from living a better life. Despite what some tell you, your body is not normal and it certainly is not beautiful. It will be a miracle if you live to be 50. If you had any self-respect you wouldn't accept what you've done to yourself and would be dieting and exercising.

Giving you the crown tells kids that they don't have to take responsibility for themselves.

Look at their top 5. 1 definitely belongs there, maybe 2. The third (blue dress) I'd have to see a different angle on. The 4th also has no business being up there.

Meanwhile in Maryland...

To be fair, he's a more attractive chick than Miss Alabama.

Going left to right, I'd say: 1, 2, and 4 belong. Especially #4.

True.

I don't know how people "hit back" at being called unhealthy for being 300 lbs? You're 23, you shouldn't look like that no matter what (99.9% rule).

I thought 2 was obvious because of her body. 4 I thought was the prettiest, but that dress isn't flattering. 1 I thought might be slightly thicker, and not having a pageant body.

You can't even see her eyes because she's so fat, but yeah, she's obviously the "standard" for beauty.
