[–] Lenins2ndCat@lemmy.world 38 points 3 years ago (2 children) 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 4 child comments replies: [–] krayj@lemmy.world 76 points 3 years ago* (2 children) 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 4 child comments replies: [–] Deuces@lemmy.world 22 points 3 years ago (1 child) 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 hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Reliant1087@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago This would be hilarious if it happened. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lenins2ndCat@lemmy.world 11 points 3 years ago (1 child) They are absurd and it'll probably be a good thing when we've got past their existence. But the problem here is that proving surgery is essentially impossible. It's quite unlike drugs that you can test for. Maybe implants you could test for but that's just one thing, and I'm not sure that beauty pageants even have the kind of budget required for advanced tests. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Syrc@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago* (1 child) One of the contest’s rules says you can’t participate if you willingly had a nude photo took in your lifetime.
