With the news that Amy Schumer is being considered for the title role of Barbie in the new live action Sony film based on the iconic doll, the internet trolls were out in full force. With body-shaming comments about her size and Twitter comments like "Barbie goes to "fat camp" starring Amy Schumer" or "If Barbie became obese and heinous to men, @amyschumer is perfect", some countered that the reason she should be cast to play Barbie is is EXACTLY because of these kind of comments.

The story line of the Barbie movie is as follows: Schumer's Barbie gets banished from Barbieland because "she's not perfect enough." She then "goes on an adventure in the real world." Eventually, she has a revelation about how "perfection comes on the inside, not the outside" and "the key to happiness is belief in oneself, free of the obligation to adhere to some unattainable standard of perfection." Do you now think perhaps Schumer is the perfect choice to play Barbie?
