Where is this line, exactly? How do you distinguish, let's say, shaving your beard for purely cosmetic reasons (as opposed to some practical or comfort based reason) and getting a boob job? Your face doesn't shave itself, that's done artificially. How is one, "fashion" and another "artificial beauty"? In fact, what about fashion, broadly speaking, is not artificial? Other than the human tendency to express themselves and desire to find a mate, that is.

Getting fake boobs is a pretty permanent thing (well, I know they can get removed, but they aren't like contact lens you put in and take out every day). It's fundamentally changing what people want to say their body is, as opposed to how they want to present it on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes a man likes to go clean-shaven, other times he might grow out his beard. Women might wear makeup on some days but not every day. People change up their hair styles and wear different clothes for different occasions.

Maybe I'm not really drawing a clear line here, but I'd just go back to what you originally said - that you don't like natural beauty, so fake boobs are okay with you. That's a faulty line of logic; people are attracted to whatever they are attracted to. I'd prefer my women to shave, but that doesn't mean I'm obligated to like them to be caked in makeup or get a boob job just because all of those things are "artificial". If that's your logic for liking fake boobs, that's fine, but I hope you aren't trying to make it out like the people who don't like them are hypocrites.
