Being a woman existing I guess? I don't know. She's not wearing anything outrageous or doing anything crazy or located anywhere for the shoot that would cause alarm to any reasonable person.

I think this photo in particular got alot of backlash because people think she's exaggerating her features to look more Asian. Its not super noticeable, but I think people were sensitive to it because ariana grande has a history of role playing as ethnicities she is not a part of. For example her brown face era when she would often use a blaccent and tanned excessively.

Heres a link to a more in depth reddit discussion about her and her shifting presentation: https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/ahdxyc/can_we_discuss_arianas_skin_tone_and_the/

Also a YouTube video of her very cringe use of AAVE: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eLOF7Qaklsw

The whole Spongebob thing isn't a great look. The whole directly insulting the ex-wife of Spongebob who left said ex-wife two months after she gave birth isn't good either. The fact that Spongebob looks like a bobo version of her gay and fantastic brother is just fucking gross.

Yes they do if they follow celebrity gossip. This was a big deal as again he looks like a slightly uglier version of her brother and he left his wife 2 months after she gave birth.
