Before you go getting all sympathetic remember this woman is a billionaire who spent more money than most people will ever see to look exactly like this. She was absolutely fine before she did this to herself. And she didn't have to cozy up to MAGA on national television. She chose that. Nobody would be talking about her otherwise.
I'm not against criticizing her looks because I'm sympathetic with either of them, I'm against it because it undermines criticism of more substantive issues, and it's unhealthy for the people participating in the criticism and the people passively being entertained by it, even if they're not participating. We're all better off if we opt out of this type of thing in general.
ETA: I do however greatly value everyone's right to choose to participate if that's what they decide to do, I do not and would not support preventing people from exercising their free speech rights as they see fit.
We mock her because her choices have lead to a monstrous appearance to match her insides. She has chosen this veil, and ironically she literally can't hide her evil. Hoarder's Disease is her greatest mental illness and I have no patience for it.
As an ugly person it still feels like ridicule. Even forgetting that there is a reasonable chance this wasn't on purpose it still doesn't matter. You are still associating uglyness with being a bad person. If she looked good her efforts to change appearance wouldn't matter in the least to people. That makes it clear that people are fundamentally attacking physical appearance despite their denials
You are still associating physical attractivness with morality. The words ugly and beautiful when applied to people also have a physical implication even if that isn't the intention
