[–] Lenins2ndCat@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) I think it would have been fair to have a rule saying “no surgical modifications”… How are you intending to prove that that? Only the bad surgery makes itself obvious. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] krayj@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Like any kind of contest, finding rules violations is hard and not foolproof. It's like sports that forbid using steroids - competitors do regularly take those substances while training, then quit taking them for competition and go uncaught. Competitors who are discovered later to have been violating rules are stripped of titles. That said, I don't think it's a very controversial concept that a beauty pageant shouldn't be a contest about who could afford the best surgeons. Well - as I said earlier I think beauty pageants are absurd to begin with, but if they have to exist I don't think it should be a contest between surgeons. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Deuces@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Though I would watch one that was a contest between surgeons. I imagine it'd start pretty tame, but the first time a girl with cat ears wins, were only like 5 years from the really crazy shit permalink fedilink source parent
