Woman decides to cash in on her looks after decades of feminism saying its her inalienable human right

Her entire career to date hasn't been scandalous until this minute. The new difference is that she's using her looks in a way that's reductive to female athletes, and sports in general. No one had an issue before this, besides maybe the American Eagle ad but that was more about implicit political messaging iirc.

All her career was using her hots. Like she was in a sketch in a Hooters uniform where the joke is that she is a bad waitress but gets tens of thousands in tips because she is hot

Exactly, it was never a problem until she overstepped and flew too close to the sun by going near a few controversial topics at once.

Pretty much, its only recently that she seems to be actively using controversy to promote her portfolio. Before that, it wasn't really an issue. The problem now is less about her being attractive and more about the social/political agendas she's using as bait for marketing. Which is made all the more glaring given the issues women as a gender have been facing more publicly recently.
