Nawat later apologized for his actions, appearing both tearful and defiant at the same time.
"If anyone (was) affected and not comfortable it happened, I am so sorry," he said in front of the contestants. He then turned to them and said, "It's passed. OK? Are you happy?"
Goddamn, dude.
Yeah, if that’s an apology then I’m the Queen of England.
Can I be emperor palpatine?
Is a beauty pageant really that relevant to anything?
Ordinarily, I’d answer “no”, but I like it when people don’t meekly take shit from bullies… especially when they’re just expected to shut up and look pretty.
Yes. I'm tired of people treating modern beauty pageants like a bimbo contest.
If you have ever watched any make up tutorial, seen what it takes to learn to walk like a model, learn to perform on a stage, how to be charming and likeable on camera, coordinate a wardrobe, selling your brand and identity, you'll know that pageantry isn't just about giving an arbitrary person an award for being born pretty, it's the outcome of an entire team of people making it happen.
Women are expected to wear makeup and dress well far more often than men are, with social consequences that can be felt in the workplace and public when they don't, and yet women's engagement in the beauty industry are dismissed as frivolous or attention seeking.
Gender expectations from a young socialize girls to uphold higher standards in beauty and fashion, and yet women are also made to internalize hate for something as 'silly' as pagentry. There's no winning from this.
Only to those who comment.
Oh burn. Really got me there huh.
