Hypothetical:
If instead of changing her body shape by surgery, she had eaten more fatty foods, and exercised less to achieve a "none skinny bitch" body.
would that change anything?

Think of it like a video game.

Example #1 is someone who works hard and gains skills to beat everyone else in the world, then turns around and calls everyone pathetic noobs. But the given here is that no normal person expects to ever be able to play on that level. She's one of the super lucky 0.0001% of the world that has the manual dexterity, natural reflexes, and dedication to the game to be able to do that, and as such, her views are skewed. Plus, everyone can admit that this person is literally just lucky and naturally better. Compared to her we are all noobs.

Example #2 is someone, no matter what work they've done or skills they have, who uses the cash shop to beat everyone else in the world, then turns around and calls everyone pathetic noobs. She's not actually a better player than the rest of us, and in fact she's sucked and been a noob just like the rest of us too, which she has forgotten or is ignoring. Only one day, she paid for this limited edition uber item set only available to a few exclusive people with the money and access to the cash shop, and now she thinks she's better than everyone else and has no sympathy for the normal player group she used to be part of. Everyone without her exclusive, cash-only uber item set is a pathetic noob! Including everyone too poor to buy it.

Is it good that either person is calling everyone pathetic noobs? No. But hearing that from the paid-items player is way more infuriating than hearing it from the player who earned her place through skill.

Of course. I mean, she'd still be an asshole for body-shaming other women, but the added issues of hypocrisy and classism wouldn't be there.

I'm not trying to say that would be "desirable" or anything. I mean it's better if people just don't body-shame other people. But the specific circumstances of this instance are particularly nasty imo.
