"To have had a long relationship with someone who was pretty much your looksmatch and then to break up, gain so much weight and watch him go off and marry fucking margaret qualley. Even my chest hurts when I look at her. I can't imagine the pain. And I don't even like Lena Dunham, at all."
"Lena Dunham saying that it felt like hiding in a locker and listening to seniors talk was exactly right. As parasocial and lame as that sounds, I felt connected to them."
"Was about to ring up this blonde girl w a Jersey accent and as she's walking up she goes "have you seen the HBO show girls? Has anyone ever told you that you look like the main character?" …….anyways if anyone has tips on how to stick to eating 1000 cals or less a day please let me know"
"yes she's enormous now but lena dunham is utterly brilliant and most of you would probably really enjoy her work if you're not familiar with it. Girls gets a lot of hate but mostly because people don't realize how self-aware it is as a show- it truly hits on so many realities of young adulthood in a"
"Take someone like Lena Dunham. The average person now wouldn't consider her attractive now, but when she was in her Girls era and was thinner and wore cute clothes most people would probably consider her cute to pretty (at least by normal people standards- not Hollywood celebrity standards.)"
"The conclusion that i've come to is the hate for her is a combination her being not great looking and playing/writing a character that is so unlikeable that people direct their dislike for Hannah Horvath onto her. Also the characters she writes and how flawed they are probably puts up a mirror to a "
"was out the other night and a college aged younger sister of a girlfriend of mine said she's never going to watch girls because Lena Dunham is a pedo. i mean the pebble story was weird but overblown in my opinion. she was seven years old! her father paints buttholes for a living!"
"EDIT: just also remembered Lena Dunham"
"Greta Gerwig is the most interesting case of fall out to me, Lena Dunham is a fascinating case study too although she's been out of style for quite some time."
"HBO had sort of a streaming "on demand" service back in the day, waited for my parents to leave for the supermarket on a brisk Saturday in 2013, fired up the TV shut all the blinds and got to work."
"This is just a little (belated) appreciation post. I'm sorry I thought Lena Dunham was a hack, I was wrong."
"Also it really is a great show. middle seasons are just ok and the Marnie and Desi stuff sucked then and sucks now, but overall, yeah, Dunham, Konner and Apatow created something special over the course of six seasons."
"I'm watching Girls for the first time and loving it. I think Lena Dunham is brilliant (and I miss problematic celebrities, bring her back). The only issue is that she has so many nude scenes and I struggle to look at her body."
"This shit is funny as fuck. Why did everyone hate Lena Dunam back in the day?"
"MICHELLE PFEIFFER??? JIMMY PAGE? the internet and instagram brain has ruined our perception of conventional attractiveness. literally every single person you morons named (yes including pre obesity Lena Dunham she was extremely cute) is conventionally good looking"
"Can't believe I'm saying this but young Lena Dunham is a 1. Something about her dumpling body and Quasimodo face has awakened something primordial deep within me."
"Curently at one of my personal rock bottoms and watching girls for the first time. I think it is great, but I cant help but wonder like would Hannah get someone like Adam, or like Farn?!?"
"I was just a shitty Velma (so I could actually wear a baselayer under) but people mainly guessed Daria or Lena Dunham (lmao)"
"She gets a lot of the same hate that Lena Dunham gets that honestly reaches such a rabid point that it makes me uncomfortable. Lena's obviously a better writer and I feel like has been vindicated in a way but for whatever reason Amy doesn't seem to be able to get the same type of forgiveness."
"idk im not gonna write an essay about this lady but everything she touches as like a professional is good. HBO Girls, her podcast the C word is genuinely good, her writing isnt bad at all. Crazy how she ruined her status as a public figure just by being weird cringe emo."
"Back when the biggest controversy was Lena Dunham hiring her friends for *Girls*."
"You can ignore annoying ugly women because they're just going to get fat and become irrelevant anyway."
"I think judging by Lena Dunham's weight and what she's written in Girls that eating is her actual fetish. I think she gets sexual enjoyment out of eating and perverse pleasure out of being fat and trying to fuck."
"She's just going to keep writing about fat annoying girls getting with really hot guys, isn't she. I can't take it seriously if that's going to be the case. That's just not comporting to my lived experience, you know?"
"There does seem to be an obsession with publicly talking about 'Victimhood', 'suffering' and 'trauma' in today's culture. Ironically, the most enthusiastic advocates of this are people who are incredibly privileged by any standard, like Lena Dunham and Jameela Jamil."
"Started watching hbo girls and it's fun but my only prior exposure to Lena Dunham was this video Was so confused by people on here praising the show since I remember her as the face of 2016 Democrats or whatever, I'm not American"
"She is a literal caricature of lena dunham but skinny and frankly, it rocks. Keep on doing you, kaitlin and soon youll be a staff writer on the lenny letter, too."
"sorry that she's a nepo baby who is actually very talented, has made the best show of 2010s, interesting to talk with, hating lena dunham just because she doesn't look like a prepubescent child is soo corny. she is a live example that you can be fat and still successful in a media thats hungry for 1"
"If the choice is a cute smallish girl vs a Lena Dunham/sac-of-potatoes shaped blob, I'm gonna go for the former. But if instead the other option is a 'bigger' woman with a nice hip-to-waist ratio, a good ass and generous tits, no doubt I'm picking the later."
"Greta Gerwig, the Safdies, the Neistats, and Lena Dunham all got their start in the same building in Tribeca in the mid-2000s."

"I watched Lena Dunham's Sharp Stick because someone here had posted here about it being RS coded. I loved this film so much. It's a beautiful quietly devastating off kilter work of art."
"The next Nietzsche will not find inspiration from Schopenhauer and admire Muhammad. Instead, he will find inspiration from Lena Dunham and admire Jeff Bezos. References to Lena Dunham will be esoteric."
