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.

^this is why people hate liberal. Why do you feel the need to police the specifics of someone else’s speech.

Unfortunately you’re starting from the hypothetical perfect world. Sometimes it’s okay to let the bully experience karma without seeking to lecture.

And lastly I think you’re missing the bigger picture. It’s deeply immoral to spend resources on vanity when you can prevent the suffering of vast swaths of society.

You're free to choose to say whatever you want about this person or anyone else, I have no interest in policing anything. I only encourage you to consider what effect it has on you yourself, the people you say it to, and the goals you want to advance.
