[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol she's been totally off everyone's radar for years, then she pops up with an interview and a project, and you're already "tired" of her.

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

Wasn't that kind of a plot point of Girls? That the main character she played thought she was awesome because things came easy to get but then suddenly she wasn't all that? Like when she went to the Iowa Writers workshop? She was just mediocre. But that's a complaint about the whole Millennial generation, and she captured it well in Girls.

I agree with pp that we tolerate and maybe even encourage very similar behaviors much more in people who are conventionally attractive and slim. [/quote]
