Why do people hate her?


Hi. I just started watching the show "girls" and I went online and noticed a lot of hate for this actress. Can someone fill me in? I never heard of her until recently, so don't know anything about her. Is she a bitch in real life or something?
Thanks.

I hide behind a mask

No, M Wonderful, wrong. I am a liberal and I find her to be the scum of the earth.

I don't agree with liberals, but I do find there are some reasonable liberals like you.

As I said, she's one of the progressives, who have hijacked liberalism and taken it far left. Normal people have rebelled against the craziness these loons have tried to foist on America, people like Dunham.

Dunham is part of the gang that is insuring Trump and the GOP are going to rule at least a decade.

I can't say I hate her because I don't know her, but I definitely understand it.

If you look into her background, there's too much not to like. The most obvious example is: She makes very odd, unsettling statements about her younger sister in her book. Example 1 - she states that she used to get turned on by and masturbated with her sister sleeping in the same bed as her, this while she was 17 and her sister was what (don't quote me) 10 or 11? That's just 1 example; there are others that are creepier.

But even on the surface, her feminism comes ofF as very fake, very privileged, very exclusively 'women's rights' as opposed to 'equal rights'. And that is heavily reflected in Girls - the only 'feminist' thing about it is that it stars female leads. And that's it. Is Sex and the City feminist? Not really, no. But it's probably more feminist than Girls, which is literally about privileged adult babies who happen to be female.

Basically, she's not that talented, she was able to get work/her show Girls due to nepotism, she thinks she's the 'voice of her generation' and people care what she thinks, she defended her male friend after he was accused of assaulting a woman (after she had publicly said on Twitter that 'women don't lie about being raped), and does not have a typical thin/attractive body shape.

Oh, and she admits she molested her sister when they were young.

Because she's a piece of shit.

I never watched Girls but from what I heard of it she gets naked in it a lot and no one wants to see a fat pig have sex.

Let's see...

There's the time she molested her sister, or the time she said she wishes she had an abortion, so she's a generally gross human being.
