This week, we take a break from true crime and go through our different experiences with the body positivity movement, both good and bad, and highlight that the levels of toxicity and shaming that can go on inside a movement that was intended on being supportive and encouraging, no matter what your goals with your body are.

Body Positivity is TOXIC

There’s a problem with True Crime.

Creators idolize perpetrators, shame victims, or are completely checked out on cases while they focus on other things. However, we can’t forget there are victims who lost their lives and families who are still grieving to this day. 

Furthermore, many True Crime outlets spend their time focusing on themselves or rambling, instead of getting right to the facts of the case. We hear you, this is frustrating.

The Misery Machine focuses on cases the media fails to give proper attention to. We want to help give those a voice that never got to have one, to begin with. We also cover aspects of cases that other podcasts might look the other way on, and the way that these cases impact their communities for generations. It’s not enough to simply cover a case, our platform must be used to make a difference.
