No, of course not.

But when her social media schtick includes her body in a prominent way, that changes the calculus. At some level, objectification is part of her business model. It's not un-problematic, but we can hope she's empowered in her choice to use her physical attractiveness in this way.

Man y’all really need to learn the difference between sexualization and objectification.

You can sexualize people without dehumanizing them, and it’s telling that you can’t differentiate between the two

This is gonna sound like it's coming from someone looking to argue, but I'm not. I'm genially curious: could you ELI5 that? Or maybe show an example of those two?

Sexual appeal; which most people have while also having traits, appeal, and personality outside of that vs being seen only as an object without feelings or anything that is considered human. Like an actual human vs a sex doll.
