But ... what if someone thinks I'm a Karen? Best to be quiet and let someone else speak to flight crew so I don't end up in a meme.

"hi sorry, I'm sitting in 20A, and, I don't want to make a fuss or anything, but I'd appreciate if you took a peek out of my window,... Put me at ease that something I noticed on the wing is normal."

"Here, I took a photo, mind looking?"

That's far better than going "HOLY SHIT THE WING IS FALLING OFF!". In an emergency you need to be calm but decisive, and not spread panic.
