body shaming

Let's just stop for a moment to appreciate that quote by Billie Eilish. If it's too small for you to understand I recommend that you click on the picture to the left to maximize. That quote has been taken from part of a live show where she strips her clothes down to bra to make a statement against body shamers.

Billie Eilish is known for her oversized outfits. During one of her interviews she confessed purposefully hiding her body to avoid criticism and judgement, or simply trying to make her job more about her art and work and less about her physical appearance. So it was unexpected for most people to see her strip down in her show.

When you body shame someone, you criticize, ridicule, or otherwise make someone feel ashamed about (some aspect of) their physical appearance, especially their weight.
