A Ukraine-born model with Japanese citizenship who won the 2024 Miss Japan beauty pageant has given up her title, competition organisers said Monday, in the wake of a magazine report detailing her relationship with a married man.

Karolina Shiino, 26, was named the 2024 Miss Japan Grand Prix winner on January 22. She was the first person of European descent to win the top prize in the contest organisers say is dedicated to crowning a representation of the foremost beauty of all Japanese women

I'm not following the thought process.

Can't be a beautiful woman if you're having a sex life people disapprove of.

Can I assume dat politicians get da same treatment? Or do dey get away with being imperfect because dey have power?

Bit of nationalist bigotry? Possibly

A ton of misogynist bigotry? Definitely.

There were people making a big deal about her not being of Asian heritage when she won the title.
It's very likely a big factor and the relationship a convenient excuse to ditch her.
But then again...Japan is kind of known for expecting public figures to be flawless individuals. So it could be a combination of both with the relationship just adding fuel to an already existing fire.

She cheated with a married man

She cheated with a married man. Extramarital affairs arent socially acceptable for men either.

Why are people whining about Japanese culture not honoring unfaithful homewreckers?

Not every country needs to be degenerate like the US. Us having no standards for the personal lives of the celebrities we idolize is why trash like Trump get cult followings here.

due to affair

I like many aspects of Japanese culture but this aspect of it is irredeemably misogynistic. It's not good behavior to have affairs but to publically shame and hurt people's careers for it is abhorrent unless it's someone like a politician or religious figure who uses their influence to punish others for similar actions.

Sakurai has been married to a former voice actress for nearly 20 years, which was not disclosed to the public until September 2022 after he acknowledged a report published by Shukan Bunshun.[9][10] On October 26, 2022, Shukan Bunshun reported that Sakurai had been having an extramarital affair with a writer from his radio show, P.S. Genki Desu: Takahiro, which began in October 2013 and had been terminated suddenly on October 24, 2022, without any explanation of reasons given.[11][12] The two had been in a relationship for 10 years, with them intending to marry; however, the writer had allegedly not been aware of Sakurai's marital status until September 2022.[12] On November 3, 2022, the chief of Second Shot, the company behind Sakurai's radio show, apologized to the listeners, who were upset from Sakurai and the writer dating and having to listen to them on the radio show.[13] In the same announcement, they cancelled preorders for a product originally set to be released in November 2022.[14]

Shkan Bunshun reported that Suzuki was engaged to LiSA in May 2019.[3] In January 2020, the two publicly revealed their relationship and announced they had married.[4][5] On April 25, 2023, his wife LiSA announced the birth of their first child on an Instagram post.[6][7][8]
On August 4, 2021, Suzuki went on hiatus due to poor health issues, following a report published on July 30 by Shkan Bunshun alleging that he was involved in an extramarital affair with a female work associate.[9] The same report also alleged that Suzuki had possibly violated non-disclosure agreements during the affair regarding music he and Oldcodex had been working on for other anime series. On August 30, 2021, Suzuki released a statement apologizing for his "careless behavior."[10] As a result of the hiatus, he withdrew from Ultraman.[11] He was also recast in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger,[12] the CD bonuses of the game adaptation of My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!,[13] Pokmon Journeys: The Series,[14] Alchemy Stars,[15] The Misfit of Demon King Academy,[16] and Tokyo Revengers.[17]

The married person is responsible for the preservation of their home.

I'm sorry but that's too much detail to figure out with no additional context. What do you mean to get across with this?

this isnt really atypical
multiple japanese musicians have had the entire catalogue of their band blacklisted and records pulled from shelves for similar scandals or doing something as heinous as gasp smoking pot
cloud strife's JP VA was fired from a lot of projects b/c of affair recently
prolific va for free, misfit of demon king academy, etc. was replaced for affair, etc.
idols get shuttered b/c they dared to have boyfriends

Trump's personal life isn't the problem with Trump. FDR had a longstanding extramarital affair.

The married person chose to ruin their marriage. They are the one who has an obligation to their family.

that doesnt make the one cheating with the married person blameless though lol

If you have an affair knowing someone is married then you suck. Theres no debate to be had

Beauty contests are stupid but I don't see why that should disqualify her. It's kinda weird she was miss Japan though, when she's not Japanese. Please don't say that's racist. I'm saying it's odd.

Sounds like homewrecker talk.

Look, it'd be cool if you were just a sociopath and didn't care about anything in general, but it's a bit gear grinding when someome seemingly admits to a lack of basic decency and empathy on a personal level, but simulanenously still tries to guilt trip and shame others along social justice lines. "She's not bad for dating a married guy but you're sure misogynistic for disapproving." You can't just pick and choose which moral responsibilities others should care about.

If someone's ignorant of the other person's marital status then that's not on them, and if the marriage is already seperating then it's whatever, but knowingly choosing to get involved with someone in a marriage they have no intention of ending is just gross. In that case you are willingly dating a duplicitous piece of shit.

Then FDR is also kind of a shitty guy, regardless of his general effectiveness as president (internment camps aside).

no I'm pretty it's because she had an affair with the judges

I didn't know a doctor was judging the competition

it wasn't a judge? That's what I read on the twitterz

And yet, without knowing any of these circumstances, you choose to throw around the term 'homewrecker', and do not even consider the responsibility of the married partner.

So marital fidelity isn't really relevant to presidential effectiveness. Which was my point.

I know the details because they're key to the controversy. First she denied seeing the guy, then she denied knowing he was married, then she clamed she broke it off after finding out he was married. All of these claims were false and she later confessed to making them up because she was conflicted and afraid. And the dude has clarified that he never expressed any intention of divorcing his wife.

Problem is Miss Japan isn't a job, it's a nomination for Miss Universe. Miss Universe is basically looking to recognize the most beautiful woman of the year both inside and out. If your morals are in public question then you're obviously not gonna win and are wasting your country's nomination. There is no logical move but to bow out.
