Watched Girls, liked Girls, haven't looked much into Lena

I see lots of potential elements to lena antipathy
mental health stigma
art that is supposed to make you uncomfortable
generalized misogyny, esp. towards publicly successful women who are not pleasing to the male gaze
... and I think that her artistic persona, at least for Girls, was really built around her struggles and her unhealth and not triumph or cool or whatever

I think there are people who find Lena relatable, but not to parts of themselves they like

i only made it through one episode of "girls"

it strongly resembled "seinfeld," in that all of the characters were loathsome human beings who needed a swift kick in the rear end

unlike "seinfeld," it was played almost totally straight and the viewer was expected to sympathize with the terrible people, instead of laugh at their pratfalls. that was a bridge too far.

nah. coda: Lena's work is representation of all these things that are normally not in popular media and pent up demand for that representation is part of why she was received so well... and also rejected vehemently by others

i'm personally not a fan of lena dunham because she molested a younger sibling and defended one of her writers accused of rape, along with pet neglect (all of which she personally and publicly documented)

plus her show's not that great but mostly that other stuff

kids always have and always will play doctor, yes

but i think should really consider if you're comfortable saying that things an older child does to a younger one can't be called rape just because both parties are below the age of consent

no disagreement with that, but if you're a celeb with what the market might prove to be a very niche / gimmick appeal, you gotta capitalize on what you've got while the getting is good.

given the small wave of posts, "triggered" does seem appropriate

she’s the indolent child of wealthy manhattanites who deigns to slightly push for social rights while completely and totally ignoring economic ones

it’s a perfect microcosm of neoliberalism that barely barely pushes against the status quo and easily illustrates how bankrupt of an idea it is

the principle is that we don't assume that children are fully responsible for their actions. obviously we treat them as having increasing responsibility as they get older. the post i quoted was about the behavior of a seven-year-old

NPR just had a good segment on the psychology of school shooters and how society likes to oversimplify the whole thing down to "bullying" when there's so much more going on. one part that was pretty good imo was where they were talking about how the internet allows edgy teens to find echo chambers where they can feel like their insane ideas are totally fine no matter what because there's other people who feel the same way and agree with them. specifically the example was like, some "columbine fan site", and the host was like "so I imagine these sites are really underground and hard to get to, like on the darkweb or something" and the lady's like "uh... actually no they're really easy to get to and in the clear" :allears:

speaking as someone who agrees that "girls" is unwatchable self-indulgent trash, it has nothing to do with that and everything to do with lovely men being triggered by a chubby girl having the nerve to write herself into sex scenes. she's been a boogeywoman of rightwing media long before they gnashed their teeth over the sister stuff with all the moral credibility of a pizzagater voting for roy moore

totally. there are a ton of male actors with shittily bland liberal politics, but they do not get the hate she does.

however! she does truly suck and absolutely sold out the MeToo moment by defending her rapist friend who she has known “for almost half a decade” and she totally hosed over that dog. she’s a shithead and she should be exiled but that doesn’t explain the years of hate.

i don't think she was ever an official surrogate for a presidential campaign :confused:

surrogates are ppl chosen by the campaign to go on cable news, etc to represent the candidate's views in a debate or Q&A. they tend to be people who work in politics or craft policy proposals for a living.

near as i can tell lena dunham hasn't done any more for a campaign than these equally self-important dipshits
