Just hours after announcing Schumer will play Barbie in the live-action Sony film, trolls all over the internet began teaming up against the Trainwreck actress in full force.

According to online reports, the movie will follow Barbie as she finds her self-confidence and inner beauty after being kicked out of Barbieland for not being good enough.

While some would say this is the perfect role for Schumer, who is an advocate for non-traditional beauty and slamming industry standards, others tend to think Schumer isn’t fit for the role because she doesn’t have the body of a Barbie.

@amyschumer is way too fat to play Barbie. Maybe she could play 3 Barbies

The ONLY way I’d watch a movie about #Barbie is if @amyschumer was starring in it.
