        "Social impact initiatives"? So the winner is going to be whoever can invent the wackiest virtue signaling campaign?

        Why are you even calling it a competition; since surely the idea of a competition is obviously going to eventually offend someone?

        The ideological cul-de-sac of far leftist virtue signaling; equality really means "everyone gets a similar outcome", not "everyone gets a similar opportunity". Opportunity and outcome are entirely different, but they want everyone to get medals at sports day

        Has anyone seen an unattractive Miss America? Is the format going to be they submit resumes without headshots and answer questions from an isolation booth so judges can’t see what they look like?

        no they are just ruining any aspects that men might find enjoyable in their media and killing it dead. grid girls. miss america pageants. boy scouts. popular franchises. movies. games. everything.
