The very notion of judging literal children by appearance is so twisted, not to mention the damage this kind of environment this does to kids long-term
right. if you enter your child in a pageant and they lose and then cry, then what? You have to console them and assure them that they are beautiful even if the judges said differently, so why set them up to be judged as not good enough in the first place? This has to be an extension of the parents themselves - the mother who gets the ego boost from having what is considered to be the most beautiful child.
Thats because parents are delusional when it comes to there own kids and pocket books. Od imagine if you asked most of them really think there kid is the best looking kid ever in history@realSimoneCherie
From the online article, "Why red states won't ban child pageants": _It’s also telling where these pageants are being held. The states that hold the most contests are Florida, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky. All of these states have passed anti-LGBTQ+ bills, including bans on adult drag shows, for the expressed reason that they are protecting children from “inappropriate sexualized conduct.”_ Quelle surprise. 🙄
the mom trying to remove the context from the pretty woman costume🤯 ma'am, julia roberts was a s3x worker in that movie. there's no way to talk around it.
Actually many little girls dream of this.....your clearly not a woman or have a little girl. Literally dream of this. Not me but i knew girls that wanted this so bad.
@@truthkindahurtsloveyalltho6272Little girls don't dream of this until adults introduce it to them. Kids have no idea what pageants are. They just want to play dress up. Don't defend child abuse.
I mean it’s not just the freakin show! it’s children pageantry in general.. everybody in this clip acts like it’s okay, as long as it’s not on tv. It’s not right at all, in my opinion.
@@MaxG-jk8tyhow is drag bile and inappropriate to children? gay people should be normalized for your child now because its so accepted and more and more people are coming out. Drag can be inappropriate but I genuinely remember seeing a drag queen when i was 7 or 8 and just thinking how it looked liked a doll in over the top clothes and makeup that looked good

My mother entered me in one pageant when I was about five or so. I remember the outfit, the hair spray, and the blue eyeshadow. I remember saying I refused to go out on stage. I refused to ever participate in one again. And that was that. I also refused to ice skate after the first attempt.
I can’t believe the lady that dressed up her child like Julia Roberts gets all that backlash and comes out and tells the world she’s a great mom and the costume was meant to be funny and then sends her child onstage in a leopard one piece with one leg cut off and a biker jacket looking like a stripper. I don’t think that lady has a brain in her head if she thinks this is okay. I feel terrible for her little girl who has to put up with this nonsense. Don’t get me wrong she’s not the only one parent putting their child in these contests in crazy outfits so they can live vicariously through them. Sorry but there’s too many freaks out there that do sexualize children and bcoz of them you really need to protect your children. 🐆 👧👯♀️🤸🏽♀️💄👠👑🏆🥇🫣😳🤢🤑👎
People who defend child pageants are the same people who would call a bomb threat in to drag queen story hour, an event where there isn't any objectification of children whatsoever. Frickin' hypocrites. 🙄
When did we stop celebrating people reaching for the best of themselves… and instead being their trashiest, slovenliest, uninhibited ‘real’ selves Shame was a great thing… we need to bring that back.
Pageant PARENTS sexualize female children via competition visuals (adult-like makeup, clothing, accessories, choreographed routines, false teeth, and wigs, spray tan, music, etc), choices associated w/ 18+ ADULT women. Children are controlled, misdirected, and exploited by parents' aforementioned choices in order to remain competitive. Pageant parents, I'm so sorry for the traumatic, ergo-bruising experiences you dealt w/ directly or indirectly in your life, but take care of your emotional and psychological issues, and do not foist them on innocent children.
So she dressed ur toddler like a prostitute and then dressed her up again with removable pieces of clothing and then acted shocked when ppl questioned how she is as a mother...She lit admitted of trying to catch the judges attention..I guess by any means necessary...Women like this sometimes makes me think...making ppl pass a parenting test before being allowed to have kids might be a good idea... Definitely the type of mother that would encourage her daughter to go to a Diddy party....Don't matter what happens, as long as there's a chance u might get famous from it.
I only ever saw a handful of kids on this show that actually enjoyed doing it, I hate parents that force their kids into doing stuff they don't even like. I've also heard a few girls from this show have committed suicide.
I was literally in the middle of commenting how I really don’t think these outfits sexualize these kids at all when in the last 40 seconds they show that girl with the tear away skirt and holy crap that’s definitely sexualized. Most of it is not overtly sexual I’d say, but the stuff that is is pretty rough and hard to rationalize. Let kids have their childhood, jeez!
Just like dance moms, the premises for these shows are disgusting and exploitative. The shows are about the moms who half the time are just bitchy thorns in the side of the coaches/instructors etc and without the kids they serve 0 purpose, because they're only interesting with the drama over their talented children's competitive performances. The mom's are 99% there to be on a reality show that they'd never be on withou the kids who barely have a say while forcing them into the public eye to be judged and entertain strangers. They always want the girls in both shows to be dressed entirely too provactively and perform routines that are entirely too sexually evocative all to keep winning the attention game and occasionally the competition. I feel the worst for the pageant girls, but the dance girls are doing an artform they're generallly passionate about and it gets warped into so much more just to sell it or make people talk about it.
Yes, a pervert sees what he wants to see, but dressing your kid like a stripper shouts "Pick Me!!!!" to a peed-o, the same way leaving your doors unlocked door screams "Rob Me!!!" to a thief.
What’s sick is a country that voted for a dictator with 34 felonies, 6 bankruptcies, 3 failed marriages, 2 impeachment, an insurrection, and multiple sexual assaults.
8:28 this lady is straight up disgusting. genuinely comparing, r4pe culture to PARENTS MAKING THE CHOICE, TO DRESS THEIR KIDS LIKE THAT- IS NOT THE SAME AS AN ADULT WOMAN WEARING A SHORT SKIRT. its okay for an adult to dress sexy, cause they ARE AN ADULT. it’s a parents job to protect their kids from the society that perverts exist in,
uh most of the children predominantly girls on this show were from small southern towns where there isn't much else to do so beauty pageants/celebrity look a like contests are big business
The fact these contest exist is more telling of parents who want the best for themselves rather than their kids. They may say they're doing it for the kids, but they're not. I bet at least 1/2 are "Living the dream through their children" {They need psychological help}, 1/4 are about doing it for the fame and money {Exploitation}, 1/4 are just sick minded, making minors look so adult they have to "appease the male gaze" {They need to be jailed}.
How about her putting her toddler in any Julia Roberts outfits where she wasn’t playing a sex worker? I mean come on. But she knew something like an Erin Brockovich wasn’t going to “wow” (🤮) the judges and get them on tv.
In real life, most pageants, most of the time (like the kind at your local county fair) are NOTHING like this. I honestly feel sorry for all those who are into beauty pageants (of any age) and must deal with these stupid stereotypes which people blindly believe is reality just because it's called a "reality" show. And don't even get me started on how Jersey Shore stereotyped and made a mockery of New Jerseyians...when none of the main cast was even from Jersey!!
An our elected president has put on a ton of them as well as taking trips to epstiens Island. No one not a single person should be interested in child beauty pageants
These r disgusting have we learned nothing since jon benet ramsey.. these kids r devastated when they lose think there fat n ugly and have a hard time the rest of there lifes good job moms

And yet this is literally drag
That's damn near the same list of states that voted AGAINST the anti child trafficking bill.
The age of consent in Georgia was 14 until 1995. Then they modernized. Made it 16.

They’re complicit
This is just a strange hobby to force your kid into anyway. I doubt your child wants to be doing pageants over playing at the playground…

There are so many reasons NOT to do this to your child.
