I am so tired of Lena Dunham

She really sets people off. I also find her annoying but I find many celebrities annoying. I think the hate against her is much worse because she's not pretty and people do not feel she deserves to be famous as a result.

Yes, this

Agree. I think people are triggered because it seems like a mediocre person with mediocre writing and mediocre looks and mediocre acting is getting her mediocre projects on HBO and Netflix. Writers and actors and producers would kill to get their screenplays picked up by HBO. And it seems to effortlessly happen for Lena Durham, and people can't figure out why. But people are still talking about Girls and Lena Dunham, so she clearly is hitting a nerve. And that's good of course.

I didn't think "Girls" was mediocre.

I also get autistic energy from her. I remember reading an article about her wedding and to me it seemed very clear that she had some behavior that was autistic in nature.

I totally agree with this. It's fascinating. And it's that she had the nerve to write a show where she was a character with romantic partners and show herself and her body when she is not conventionally attractive. It's triggering to people.

I also see a little high functioning autism there in a way that grates on people. This is going to sound crazy, but she and Taylor Swift are sort of similar to me- both famous millenials, both have some autistic /awkward behaviors and both are from parents who had money to help their daughters careers.

Taylor Swifts awkwardness is endearing and she is more attractive, so she collects fans, but Lena Dunham’s awkwardness makes you cringe as she is more abrasive, less of a social rules follower and less attractive.

Not true. Mama Cass was large and legendarily "main character" (perhaps before your time), and beloved.

Roseanne, too, before she went nuts.

Queen Latifah? All hail the Queen!

Lena is just arrogant and likes to hear herself talk. Nothing to do with her body.

I'm not old enough to remember mama Cass at her most famous but all I ever heard about her growing up was "she choked on a sandwich in bed" and died.

That's an urban myth. Her death did not involve choking. You have much to learn, young grasshopper.

+1

She's not my favorite, Girls was not my favorite-- but I can concede that it was a very well-written, creative, quality show.

And yet, you not only choose to read about her you also post about her?

Methinks you aren’t tired of Lena at all. On the contrary, you sound obsessed and like she lives rent free in your head

Np. People are so dense on here. Jeesh. The point I assume PP is making is something like that the example of a heavy/unattractive famous person being viewed favorably is not exactly accurate.

That's a lovely first try at a haiku, but the ending was terrible. Please don't try again.

And it shows. She's a spoiled brat. So obnoxious, and that has nothing to do with looks.

The vast majority of celebrities are brats and obnoxious narcissists but everyone gives them a pass because they are attractive. So fascinating to me how this woman evokes such hatred.

Most of the celeb threads here are hate threads, not for fawning fans. Are you similarly fascinated by the hate for Gwyneth, Blake Lively, or any of the others people love to hate who are conventionally attractive? The less attractive fat girls actually get off pretty easily. The funny fat side kick is usually beloved.

I don't think most people loved Roseanne, ever. She got a lot of the same flak that Lena gets. Fat, ugly, loud. People (even other women) reward women for being pretty, thin, and biddable.

I am fascinated by the fact that people care so much about celebrities at all, enough to actually get worked up about it. I'm guessing five minutes with most of them would be enough to make a regular person say no thanks.

Your post is weirdly aggressive.

Excuse me? When people post obvious lies they will be pointed out. Is this your first day here?
