I genuinely think this whole thing - from the pre-surgery trolling, to the (likely) anorexia, to the surgery, to the whole “culture war” aspect of this where everyone blamed Megyn Kelly, and then turned the whole thing into validation (and claimed Kelly lied about the age of the photos, as if that changes anything, lol), “She can do whatever she wants with her body”, “Good for her”, “Fuck men”, “This is all the fault of fanboys/men in general”, etc… Is probably one of the most representative examples of our cultural malaise, as a society…
She was very cute before. And for at least a couple of years there (even after becoming famous on The Boys) she looked happy. Now, much like Dove Cameron and so many others… She has completely ruined everything that made her a promising young talent. And then doubled down on it.
I think that’s very sad.
Edit: holy run-on sentence Batman. Yep, I know, lol.
I don't think it's brought up enough that her character in the Boys is an innocent newbie thrown in the deep end of celebrity superheroics (aka Hollywood) and beat down behind the scenes by talent management, image consultants, and other superheroes (celebrities) until she adapts. Really paints a picture.
If she claimed it was just her putting it all on the line for the show, I think most people wouldn't have said shit.
Honestly, if she wasn't a retarded female it would've worked. Men do it all the time for roles. Christian Bale losing like 90lbs to be a stick for that boxing film, Brendan Frasier getting fat as fuck for The Whale, eetc.
But no, as a woman, she's too insecure and stupid, so she let it get to her instead.
Fat activists cried greasy tears over it because they consider fat suits to be the equivalent of blackface, and of course The Whale is all about how this dude's life is a wreck because he's eating himself to death.

Brendan wore a fat suit.
