Head Judge was a nonbinary who used they/them pronouns. Boy who got disqualified was literally driven to tears because he had spent over $800 to enter the tournament. He also shares how prior to the incident, he was suffering from depression for a while, and had contemplated suicide a few times. The emotional trauma he endured made him want to immediately run out into the middle of a road and kill himself right then and there.

Anyone who gets off on power-tripping like this are literal cancer, and such actions should be considered nothing less than a declaration of war. Victims of such abuse should do nothing less than go scorched earth against such individuals/groups.

I mean, I don't disagree with anything you said, but how many children's competitive events have you seen that are actually overseen by a minor? I just don't see that ever happening.

"but how many children's competitive events have you seen that are actually overseen by a minor?"

During the first aprox.12 years of my life? Only every day. And having adults do it is working out so well, isn't it?

I hate to break it to you, but back in the dawn of time, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and kids were allowed to be kids and run around outside, all day, without any adults in sight, ALL children's competition was overseen by other kids. And it worked just fine. Kids have a fine sense of fairness and right and wrong. The winners were cheered and expected to be humble about it and the losers were expected to lose gracefully and learn from it so they could do better next time. And cheating was never tolerated. To be known as a cheater was like being known as a liar or a thief. Intolerable. And it worked.

Adults were busy doing adult type shit. They did not try to insert themselves into kid matters. The mere presence of a grownup would have put a damper on the whole thing.

Grownups didn't start showing up until Sunday school, Little League and Midget football and those were ALL dad's whose own kids were involved.

Children's competitive events overseen by minors? Why not try it and see what happens? They might just have fun.

But then there'd be no excuse for there to be any pedos lurking around would there?

Ok, so you are referring to children engaging in everyday kid activities without adult supervision. Which would be one small group of friends at most. The competitive event we are discussing involves one of the biggest commercial franchises of our time. Drawing dozens of competitors to each event. There is no way any organization hosting such a commercial event, will allow even 17 or 16 year olds to be judges.

In any case, power-tripping is not something that is exclusive to adults. It absolutely happens among kids/minors. In fact, power-tripping is one of the main reasons that bullying still exists in schools.

"...involves one of the biggest commercial franchises of our time."

And have you ever once stopped to wonder how, who, and why?

I find it hilarious that the very same people who will breathlessly opine about the "globohomopedo elite" and "groomers" seem to have this huge blind spot when it comes to activities and events that have had enormous sums of money pumped into them and seem to be custom tailored for the express purpose of giving adults an excuse to be in constant close proximity to children, playing a children's game.

"There is no way any organization hosting such a commercial event, will allow even 17 or 16 year olds to be judges."

Because they're too old?
