I give criticism because I actually like the artist and want to see them improve.

Oh a slightly off topic note, I just find the “thicc” hip/thighs meme that people do is just boring and unfortunately ruins pictures for me at this point. It just looks so ridiculous and gentrified at this point.

Saying that you don’t like the artist’s peculiar way of twisting anatomy is ok, but it’s not really “giving criticism”, it’s “stating that I have a different taste”. Otherwise Picasso wouldn’t be considered a great artist, because he regularly twisted perspective on objects and figures, like in his horseheads:

in the same way we don’t accuse Picasso of doing the “thicc hip/thighs meme” when he paints his famous women on the beach:

Twisted/stylized anatomy and exaggerated body shapes are common artistic methods of expression, since prehistoric art.
 
Or to quote the wiki article I linked before: “painters can play around with their figures, reshaping, overstretching, geometricising, dissolving, caricaturing, colouring, meandering, according to the painting’s goal and intended effect”.
 
Obviously you can be good or bad at twisting figures; personally I think this artist is rather good at it.

This isn’t to say I dislike any and all distorted art styles, there are plenty very nice aesthetic looking ones on this site. I was just pointing out a weak spot that I thought they should focus on. Having an art style does’t excuse one from learning.
