As a former fan of vile, man-hating, racist, pseudo-feminist Lena Dunham I retract my fan status, entirely.

I first saw GIRLS when it came out 5 years ago.

I immediately loved it and watched it faithfully every week. I found the characters in GIRLS shallow but thought they were comically so in a way that it was meant to shine light on rich, privileged young adults but after all that has surfaced, and resurfaced, over the past few days I fear I was highly mistaken. This is likely just a barely-fictional account of Lena's actual life and her real thoughts on things like racism. In the episode where Lena was having a cringe-worthy conversation with her black boyfriend I laughed, a lot, because it was SO over-the-top that I thought it was pure satire but now, I am not so sure.

I had loved GIRLS and felt it was a great accomplishment for a woman of 25 to have written, directed, and starred in a hit show. I also admired her for how she was raw, and vulnerable. She allowed herself to be put under scrutiny and wore a lack of clothes in spite of people fat-shaming her. These are the reasons I loved her and I didn't really dig too deep in finding out about her personal life so I felt she was an intelligent, decent human. But recently so much evidence to the contrary is surfacing.

Lena Dunham is a man-hating pseudo-feminist.

If you haven't yet heard Lena Dunham was interviewed recently by Amy Schumer and, get this, she sat next to Odell Beckham Jr. at some fancy event and he said nothing to her, he was actually on his phone. So, Lena goes on a long rant telling Amy EXACTLY what sort of anti-Lena things he was thinking in his fucking head. Um? -_-

"AS: I left so early. When did you leave?
LD: I attempted to grind my ass on Michael B. Jordan for an additional twenty minutes and then left right after you.
I was sitting next to Odell Beckham Jr., and it was so amazing because it was like he looked at me and he determined I was not the shape of a woman by his standards. He was like, “That’s a marshmallow. That’s a child. That’s a dog.” It wasn’t mean — he just seemed confused.
The vibe was very much like, “Do I want to fuck it? Is it wearing a … yep, it’s wearing a tuxedo. I’m going to go back to my cell phone.” It was like we were forced to be together, and he literally was scrolling Instagram rather than have to look at a woman in a bow tie. I was like, “This should be called the Metropolitan Museum of Getting Rejected by Athletes.”
AS: You were dressed like a boy, and you looked sexy, and I really appreciated you showing me your tits several times."

So, that's fucking interesting. That is a pretty colorful conversation you had with yourself there Lena. That man has no obligation to talk to you and you have no idea what was going on in his head when he glanced at and then DIDN'T FUCKING SAY A SINGLE WORD TO YOU.

Oh speaking of which, maybe he had noticed your racist tweet from years back?

You know, the one where you refer to African Americans as rodents?

"Just found my "creativity journal" from 2005. It begins: "I dreamed I was a prostitute and that I molested a little African American rodent""

Wow, if I had ever seen a case of "shut the fuck up and don't say that horrible thing out loud." But she wanted to be edgy I guess. She is probably the same self-centered, casually racist, entitled brat she plays in GIRLS. I am now pretty certain it is just her, playing herself, in a show about her and her shitty views.

Oh, also, she abused her younger sister.

I was unsure of how I felt when I read she did something with her baby sister's vagina when she was 6 because it seemed more like weird but innocent curiosity but then I read quotes from her, admittedly, non-fiction book where she talks about her kid-sister sleeping in her bed with her until she was 17 and talks about masturbating next to her while she sleeps, pressed against her body. Yeah, that's...no...there is literally no way I can ignore what a piece of shit she is at this point. Racist, check. Abuser, check. Oh, and voting for Hillary.

I don't need to stoop to mocking her appearance to illustrate what a jerk she is....

I think one of the reasons I liked Lena initially was, aside from loving GIRLS, because I saw her being constantly attacked and body shamed and I never saw much about WHY people hated her aside from her being supposedly ugly, fat, and not wearing "enough" clothes in public. That maybe made me feel protective of her and made me think she was brave for brazenly continuing to be unapologetically herself. But in reality, she is a highly insecure, pseudo-feminist that fetishizes black men and treats men in a way that she would be outraged if the genders were reversed.

I will now be watching GIRLS in the way I watch Roman Polanski movies. I will completely separate the piece of shit creator from the creation.

This is honestly upsetting being as I was a huge fan of hers and defended her and spoke highly of her and her work. I was blind to the type of person she really is.
