Ukraine-born Miss Japan winner relinquishes crown following affair
The controversial Ukraine-born model has resigned after a report on her relations with a married man.
😥
Abject misogyny and xenophobia in Japan? I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you.
How is that misogyny?
Also, pretty normal that a group of people wants someone to represent them to look like them lol
Well... How do you define what a group of ppl look like? Are all Japanese of the same descent? Can an immigrant not become Japanese? How would this play out in the US? Only native Americans could represent the country? Or are you inferring that a given number of years must pass before a new skin tone can represent a country?
Is that in the rules or something? Man beauty pageants are fuckin weird.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Ukraine-born winner of the Miss Japan beauty pageant has given up her crown after a tabloid report revealed her affair with a married man.
Karolina Shiino, 26, was crowned Miss Japan two weeks ago but her win sparked public debate due to her heritage.
While some welcomed the naturalised citizen's crowning, others said she didn't represent traditional Japanese beauty ideals.
The article in the Shukan Bunshun reported that Ms Shiino had engaged in a relationship with a married influencer and doctor.
In its initial response to the report last week, the pageant organisers defended Ms Shiino, saying she hadn't known the man was married.
Ms Shiino also apologised to her fans and the general public in a statement on Monday, where she said she had acted out of fear and panic in response to the report.
The original article contains 320 words, the summary contains 137 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Karolina Shiino, 26, was crowned Miss Japan two weeks ago but her win sparked public debate due to her heritage.
Probably entirely driven by middle-aged aunties who haven't seen their husbands in weeks. These are, incidentally, also the main audience for beauty contests.
While some welcomed the naturalised citizen's crowning, others said she didn't represent traditional Japanese beauty ideals.
I think she nearly perfectly represents Japanese beauty standards: she's a tall thin waif with ultra pale skin, brown hair and big eyes. The only thing that would count against her is her mouth and nose would be considered too big. The "perfect face" by asian standards looks like a Roswell alien with huge eyes, tiny nose and mouth.
That being said she's a successful fashion model in Japan so clearly she does fit the ideals.
Amid the furore, a local magazine published an expose alleging an affair.
Japanese celebrity culture is whack. They have paparazzi that make the real paparazzi look like starstruck tourists with a camera.
The Japanese perspective on white women is that they're aggressive, highly promiscuous succubuses so the tabloid no doubt knew they had a winner with the obas in uncovering this girl's affair.
