On the Internet, people get body-shamed all the time. They're either too fat, or too skinny, or too old, or too hairy, or too pregnant. Trolls love picking out perceived flaws and cracking malicious jokes - probably because they feel miserable about their own life, and think tearing down a stranger will make them feel better. (It won't.)

Luckily, some people have skin of steel, and a savage way with words. Celebrities, models and regular people have fired back, obliterating their pathetic attacks with the perfect response. Like Thanos snapped his fingers, the trolls said "I don't feel so good," and crumbled away into nothingness. Here 14 of the most iconic clapbacks to body-shamers the internet has ever seen (so far).

1. Lesego Legobane, aka Thick Leeyonce, the plus-size model in the right of a cruel meme, strikes back at a troll.

So, be proud of your body, whether you're male or female, skinny or fat, old or young, or the hairiest person in the world. If somebody body-shamers you, clap back. And if you try to body-shame someone...you've been warned.
