Of course, but just because you can throw a metaphor around doesn't make it true.
There is no "rule" in life that says that people have to be judgmental assholes to each other. Using a card game to justify the behavior is just a rationalization.
>There is no "rule" in life that says that people have to be judgmental assholes to each other.
Apparently there is, which is why this judgement you speak of happens.
It just happens to be a social rule, and you don't like it, but it's a rule nonetheless. Doesn't have to be an official rule, agreed upon, and signed by each participant, or some physical law.
Hence, the card game metaphor has some merit. Like people think you shouldn't cheat in a card game, many people also think you shouldn't cheat with cosmetic surgery.
I 100% disagree. It is a minority making the noise and turning everything into life as a game.
Most people don't care, and I'm willing to bet that the ones rationalizing the behavior here don't go out of their way to care or talk about any of this.

Being judgmental assholes to each other isn't a social rule. It's in no way the expectation of behavior.
And yet, it’s how it is.
Yes, people who judge others like this are anti-social assholes.
Of course that's not as bad as people who try to rationalize bad behavior behind a veil of pseudo-intellectuality.
Once again: rationalizations don't make something true.
