Chloe Grace Moretz has a message for online trolls “hiding behind keyboards” to judge the way other people look.

“When will people hiding behind computer screens get tired of calling someone ‘fat’ or ‘masculine,’” the actress tweeted Tuesday. “Does it make you feel good typing your hateful comments ? Does it fulfill you in some dark way?”

“Sit back before you fire away commenting ignorant things and imagine the real HUMAN BEING you are commenting about,” she added.

The 19-year-old actress posted seven tweets in a row, and did not specify at whom her comments were directed, but one could assume she’s addressing just about everyone.

“I’ve spent my whole life in front of the cameras growing up with miscellaneous people judging and critiquing every little thing about myself, and it’s time we all stop hiding behind keyboards pretending we know even the smallest thing about the people we judge,” she wrote.

“That’s all. Have a nice Taco Tuesday guys,” she concluded.

Moretz hasn’t been shy about body image. Just last week, she revealed she wanted plastic surgery when she was just 16, but because of her mom’s disapproval, she was able to find “power within my insecurities.”

“I wanted a boob job,” the actress told Elle. “I wanted the fat pad under my chin to be removed. I wanted a butt reduction, or whatever. And my mom said, ‘Absolutely not, you’re not allowed to have plastic surgery.’ And because of that, I found a lot of power within my insecurities. They’re what make me who I am now.”

Before that, she responded to Kim Kardashians’s nude selfie, saying that the reality star was setting wrong goals for young women.

“@KimKardashian I truly hope you realize how important setting goals are for young women, teaching them we have so much more to offer than … just their bodies,” the actress wrote on Twitter in March.
