Body shaming has become rampant, which has led to anorexic responses. Because thin is in, petite younger contestants tend to have an advantage over physically mature ones.
Certain techniques, such as jumping and rotating, are facilitated by childlike physiques. There also tends to be quite a bit of subjectivity within the judging process. Critics have even negatively commented on such natural phenomena as teenage growth spurts.
Raising the minimum age of contestants “from 15 to 17” has been proposed. “A more concise metric” for judging performances may also help to offset the current “culture of dieting and diuretics.”
