TV: Girls

[epilogue]

Here's the follow-up post on Donald Glover, btw.

Lena does come off as kind of oblivious, especially her writing about her travels to Japan and India, but not mean-spirited.

That racist rapist joke is pretty funny.

[epilogue]

I don't know how I feel about Lena Dunham. Being a country boy from the Midwest, I'm tired of big city 20 somethings being the voices of my generation. Oh well, I still have guys like Jeff Nichols.

And she's 27 now.

She certainly isn't the voice of her or your generation. The opposite, in fact. And she'll be the first one to tell you.

I know nothing about Donald Glover outside of Girls. Some of the stuff in that post is clearly a young comedian trying make a name and be controversial. But I've never seen his comedy so I can't comment on how misguided it may or may not be. So much of these blog posts are out of context.

My original comment about Glover and the blogger's ignorance was a comment about his role on Girls and nothing more.

i dont know if he is a racist, i think he is politically incorrect for sure.

[epilogue]

Which can be a higher crime sometimes in this country.

[VinylGuy]

yeah. Sometimes i think those who point and moralize about something, specially in the internet, are just really bored.

But some issues can and should be really off putting. Rape is one of them i guess.

why is it that when someone such as a writer in Lena's case writes their experiences that people need to call them racist? It seems that she's only writing what she knows, which as a white 20 something with well-to-do parents, it shouldn't surprise anyone that her circles are mostly white.

Durden when is this racist show coming back? January?

yah, i don't know much about her, but from watching the shows she's not racist. people are just too sensitive. she is being "standup" like.

People are too sensitive. But don't say that in a diversity group.

Agreed.

But there seems to be something a bit more sinister in the many of the attacks against Lena Dunham. And I don't know if it's because she's being especially provocative or if it's because she's a young woman. I have a feeling it's the latter.

[Harry Lime]

Some how I knew platy would come up with a response like that.

People are too sensitive.

I'm just glad that Lena Dunham isn't one of them.

Its mainly because she is a young woman and a successful one.

Also, she isn't classically attractive. Which seems to piss people off for some reason.
