English term or phrase: body-shaming
Definition from Merriam Webster:
the act or practice of subjecting someone to criticism or mockery for supposed bodily faults or imperfections.

Example sentence(s):
  • Think of people who celebrate their body for what it can do, and people who refuse to comment on others’ physical appearances. Spending time with these people can be especially helpful while you are struggling with your own internalized body-shaming, and help you view yourself – and others – more positively. Walden Behavioral
  • Maybe it's the body-shaming lout at the counter, in the classroom, at the workplace, or the tummy-slimming tea advertisement on TV that's keeping people away from stores. The Economic Times
  • The multi-awarded British comedian, James Corden, took to The Late Late Show to call him out on his unsubstantiated, snarky remark on fat shaming—pointing out that body-shaming is not merely cruel, but neither does it offer a viable solution to the problem. Makati Medical Center
