Body Shaming and Fat Phobia In Pop Culture Ft. Dylan Hafer

For this week’s Dear DST, Aleen is joined by Betches’ resident pop culture enthusiast, Dylan Hafer, aka the face behind @bravobybetches and host of the Mention It All and Pop Alarm podcasts. Dylan and Aleen dive right in and chat about how there have been a ton of fat shaming comments made in pop culture recently, and how that’s 100% not okay. They then share some Non-Scale Wins: Dylan's is all about learning to embrace your body, and Aleen gives a ~beauty~ update on something she’s been putting off. Next, they read a listener NSW about learning to improve your relationship with your body (it's harder than it looks) and they talk about the ways they’re trying to do this for themselves. Then they dive into the Dear DST of the week, which is about how often *mainly women* are fat shamed in pop culture. Dylan then gives us the rundown on a few body shaming situations that have happened recently on Real Housewives and on Tiktok. The episode wraps up with a convo about the new Abercrombie documentary and how it’s time to rewire your brain so you stop making comments about other people’s bodies.
