This may be an unpopular opinion, but I sincerely liked all the IMG winners. They all had substance and I truly feel they only get hated on so much because they are, except for Sarah all black or black-adjacent. That being said, I do feel that the organization basically abandoned them once they were crowned, which is why they would show up to Miss Universe and would constantly get stuck in the semis alone. Crystle has not produced enough winners for me to judge fairly how she does as a franchise holder. Things do not look promising for her though.
Kára publicly opposed giving healthcare to all Americans and refused to say she was a feminist while Asya performed at a Trump rally and you think the only reason they get hated on are because they're black???
Also I feel like its common knowledge by now, that Asya was under contractual obligation as Miss Mississippi to perform at the Trump Rally. I really don't expect the then 19-20 year old girl to straight up say no and choose to die on that hill. Who she votes for, I personally don't know, but she's sort of bland anyway (personality) so I really never got a read on her either way. And as for Kara, she was Miss USA, not anyone who could actually prevent all Americans from getting healthcare...which they don't get anyway. I liked her because she generally always spoke with conviction, among other things. Titleholders should not be reduced to their personal opinions, because not everybody is ever going to be satisfied.
That was such a fake excuse, not to mention the numerous times Asya spoke highly of her conversations with the Trump administration about criminal justice reform, the implications that she belongs to the Alice Marie Johnson camp of Trump supporters, and the homophobic slurs on her Twitter account. Many American pageant girls are Trump supporters, that's not going to change and I don't really care, but I'm not going to go around cheerleading for them. And let's not forget we're discussing this because you said there is no reason they should receive hate apart from their race – there is clearly reason. Has every black girl ever at Miss USA been worthy of a crown for you then, or else it's just their race as to why they aren't being supported?
Titleholders should absolutely be reduced to their personal opinions much like EVERY other person in this world is. I am not going to support a queen whose morals clearly differ greatly from mine, just like I will not want to befriend or date a person I meet who thinks these same things. They are free to think whatever they want, but I am free to dislike them for it. Allie Drake gave an awful, xenophobic answer at Miss Texas USA, and I went from being a big fan of hers to never wanting to see her with a crown. Apparently I shouldn't care about her xenophobia because it's about how she speaks and not what she says?
I'm not saying you should not care, I started talking about unnecessary hate towards Black titleholders, you zoomed in on 2 of the 4, who weren't popular for other reasons. Look at Zozi for god's sakes! Hate, Hate,Hate, Hate. She speaks better than anyone I've ever heard, performed like a queen on finals night, yet people still hated her unfairly! You're telling me you truly don't know where I'm coming from?
