This news story was on the front page of Yahoo. It's not like it's limited to LGBT sites and GameFAQs.

because it seems pretty clear from reading the most replied comments (and checking to see which of those have a lot of thumbs up) that most of the population is not bothered by this. yeah major news places will pick it up, and the response has been "fair. next." the only places where this is getting any real discussion and the places where this actually matters to people are places that were never going to be targeted as beauty pageant audiences.
Comments.
On an internet news item.
What part of this did you not understand?
Or in case more explanation is needed, read this article:

GameFAQs is amazingly civil compared to youtube comments and news story comments. And it's not because GameFAQs somehow attracts a higher breed of human being, more that...think about it: do YOU post comments on news stories or Youtube videos? I don't. Most reasonable internet-savvy people don't. But apparently the people who DO are very angry about...everything.
