Why don't they just call him a Carnival King?

He's now the Carnival Ambassador which hopefully everyone can just about cope with.

Would seem to be the natural solution confused

Why do they need to call him the Carnival King just because a few knuckle draggers can't help but make threats and abuse the organisers?

I don't understand the threats myself but the answer to your question is :

"It's the tide. It's the dismal tide. It's not the one thing".

I don't really want to live in society where 16 year old boys are dressed up or presented as queens and sent on a parade. Other people here might be ok with it but it would be my personal preference that this is not normalised.

Who knows? Either way, are boys not allowed to look fabulous?
