Someone who embodies both the authentic self-assurance of being based and the elevated respect implied by 'king' — a based king is a man (or gender-neutral person) whose unapologetic independence earns genuine community admiration.

She's not unaware — she's just decided that liking popular things doesn't require an apology or a personality detour.
