This analogy would work if 2025 were an isolated incident. But the award has been a joke for a very long time, if not actively harmful, and recent events make such a mockery of its founding premises that it's simply too much to bear. What if the "parent of the month" award were perpetually mired in controversy? I think it would be fair to reconsider the thing.

How is it actively harmful?

If I don’t get what I want from an event can I just make it controversial by yelling all the time to close it down?

You’re arguing that everyone should just give up to muggers
