Lena Dunham is the epitome of all that is absolutely fuckin’ wrong with White feminism. (Info on her abuse of her sister can be found pretty adequately summed up here on Truth Revolt.)
Her show, Girls, which was supposed to feminist as shit, does not feature any people of color in its main cast. People of color on the show are regulated to literally playing the help. The one time the character was not playing the help? It was a jungle fever shitfest with Donald Glover. She’s pulled various excuses from her ass about this which amount to “we didn’t feel like it”. She’s also never apologized or denounced one of the shows writers, Lesley Arfin, using anti-Black racial slurs, while saying Girls didn’t need any PoC bc Precious didn’t have affluent White people. The show also uses rape and sexual assault casually which is disgusting for ANYTHING claiming to be feminist in nature. And the nepotism (favoring of relatives or friends) is strong, which lends further to the racist classism in the show & its casting.
She also made an Islamophobic comment with a blanket wrapped around her head in a style similar to headscarves worn by Muslim women.
She also wrote one of the most ridiculously Orientalist essays known to mankind, which included references to yellow fever, Native Warrior Lover tropes, slight framed Asian women, and “pity the poor Whitey who has walked into Japan”.
She went on a trip to Indian and made several ridiculous comments about it including but not limited to inferring that India doesn’t “seal off” sick people, toilets, and anything that lets humans know they’re animals, as the U.S. does; stated explicitly that she cared more about the stray dogs than the people living in poverty; literally said she hated India because there were too many puppies she felt the urge to save and moms to argue with; and then whatever this shitfest of an Imperialist comment is.
She spent $430,000 on an apartment in New York and thought that was revolutionary compared to the millions that others star spend bc I mean what’s $430,000 to the average person amirite?
She made a comment about not being ‘super thin’ but being thin by Detroit’s standards. Holy classist racism, batman!
Another one of her shitty pieces of writing has body shaming bullshit which shows how one of the female characters STILL has that darned gastric bag in her abdomen??? Even though she diets??? Wtf body???
And ANOTHER one has lesbophobia to boot, comparing a male character’s dressing style to that of a middle-aged lesbian. (Seriously, who decided letting her write anything ever was a good idea????)
She also admits to having bullied a young girl named Cassie in her younger years, but it’s okay! Cassie KNEW she was fat! They only called her fat because she also wasn’t nice!
And to top it all off she’s made more than one sexually harassing comment about gay men, including saying she’d be the first openly straight (cut off my tits I’m done with this chick) woman to FRENCH kiss the first openly gay NBA player; and some comment about wanting to date a male flight attendant because all the one’s shes slept with have been gay.
I cannot stand her, or anyone who supports her. She is absolutely disgusting and deplorable and I don’t fuck w/ anyone who considers her an icon. All she’s an icon of is privileged women flexing their privilege with no consequences.
