I was extending the "game" metaphor.

Unfortunately not everyone knows the same "rules" as you do, either through misinformation or lack of education regarding the issue. You can't honestly hold them morally culpable for this. It's more productive to spread the positive message you would like others to follow rather than implying that they are intrinsically broken or "lacking depth" which just feeds the negative opinion they have of themselves (which probably caused them to break the rules of the "game" in the first place) and changes nothing.

This applies to more than just cosmetic surgery.
