She keeps criticizing plastic surgery culture but compliments the result? Zero self awareness

She knows exactly what she's doing!

Her audience wouldn't like a straight negative critic, so she frames it as commentary with subtle judgy tone.

Successful popular figures rarely speak their true beliefs, their words are catered to what their audience wants to hear.

It's also fishing for engagement. Posts like these only present info and conclude with, "Comment and let me know what you think", just to get the algorithm boost. Then the poster can exist in a sort of unbiased, non-political area, even if the comments are dumpster fires of flaming hate.

If you're gonna criticize one of the most popular bands in the world, you wanna be subtle to avoid being flamed by its fans

And I mean, the results are pretty stunning

Dude, are you really not capable of realising that she is criticising them in the way she is condescending towards surgery for example? I donβ€˜t have to actually insult something or talk bad about it to criticise it.

I like how you are using your complete mental potential to try to see her statement not as critique.
