Kat Hernandez (Barbie Ferreira) is offered a paid Skype session with a guy who liked her cam video, and as soon as she gets on the call, he shows her his penis. It is shockingly small. He asks Kat to make fun of him because it turns him on, and he masturbates while she taunts him via the video chat. The internet was collectively shook (I may or may not have let out a little scream when I saw it)," they wrote, adding that Kat/Ferreira's actions were "career goals" for many.

4. Barbie Ferreira has overcome fat-shaming.

In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Barbie Ferreira says she's had to combat misconceptions about being a "plus-sized model" for the entirety of her career.

"Bullying because of weight happens in such small ways, in big ways as well, but Kat really does feel isolated, and she resorts to being an online erotic fiction writer. She wants an outlet to support that, and when [in the show] I walk down the hallway and the kids behind me are making sound effects, it was written in the script, but that was direct from my life. I would be followed home from school and guys would be like making sound effects as I took my steps. So the reality of it is there’s a lot of different ways for people to make you feel bad. I also think it’s funny because the kid behind me making those sound effects is also chubby," she said to the outlet.

It looks like Barbie Ferreira has a bright future ahead of her!
