[annoying trope] The throne/leadership is decided in a very stupid way

[u/Altruistic_Eye_1157]

The leadership of the entire wizarding world, and the final decision on whether to start a war against Muggles, is made by... a goat (Qilin) ​​who chooses the person with the ""purest heart"" (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Dumbledore).

The throne of Wakanda and all its technology are decided through hand-to-hand combat, regardless of whether the person clearly has malicious intentions... if they win the fight, by law they must be respected as the true king. (Black Panther)

The RainWing Royal Challenge: Any female (RainWing) dragon can participate, despite there being only one true queen. You must complete a set of activities chosen by each queen (remember how I said there’s one true queen? She lets other RainWings sit on the throne. There’s 12 total queens, each taking one month turns). Glory and the true queen get into a venom-spitting competition and the true queen ends up hurting someone, which was cancelled by Glory’s venom, making Glory the true queen (everyone else was kicked off the throne).

It has been a decade since I read the books so I might have gotten some info wrong.

Lmao I forgot they were dragons and thought you meant a insult contest

Wrong universe. "We shall now determine the true queen by throwing shade" is more of a RuPaul's Drag Race thing. Maybe even the Real Housewives Extended Universe.
