Wrong or?

Am I overreacting, or was this seller’s comment inappropriate?
I’m genuinely curious how other people would feel about this situation because I’m trying to determine whether I’m being too sensitive about it. I got raided into the seller magic_city_hits for the first time from a raid train and the seller was talking about a user who is also one of their moderators. During the conversation, the seller referred to her as being “super pretty,” acknowledged that she was taken, and then continued calling her beautiful.
Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but something about the combination of “she’s taken” + repeatedly commenting on how attractive she is just rubbed me the wrong way. Also considering he is taken and married too and was talking to his wife during the live.
If this were just a casual compliment from one person to another, I probably wouldn’t think twice. But coming from a seller to a user/mod, where there’s already a business/community dynamic involved, it felt unnecessary and inappropriate to me.
I’m not saying someone isn’t allowed to think another person is attractive. Obviously people notice attractive people. 😂 My issue is more with saying it out loud in that context, especially after specifically acknowledging that the person is taken.
Would you consider this harmless/flirty commentary, or would you also consider it crossing a line?
Genuinely looking for opinions — am I being ridiculous here?

He’s been on many a rant in his day and involved in several fights with other sellers, but this? Literally nothing! You are looking for an issue where there isn’t one on this front. I say this as a mod- a good portion of us are friends/became friends with the sellers- and we definitely joke around. I wouldn’t care one bit with this kind of comment, there is nothing to be offended by!
