I say this with extreme sincerity:
Buy the album.

LOL yes

You sound like you come from money.

Stop dousing yourself in bleach, it's NAGL

I'm brown.

You need more class consciousness.
Namaste.

You had to pay to watch the video when she first dropped the album.
She's just released it on Vevo for everyone to see for free.

When they

Do you live in a flyover state?

Where am I laughing here? Who's laughing? And why do you keep (incorrectly) summarizing what I'm saying? It's weird.
Why would I need to know her personally...? Beyond the many interviews she's ever done, her work speaks for itself...

I am not saying what you think I'm saying. In fact, you are regurgitating a lot of (invalid) criticism lodged at Lena and applying it to what I said. Read what I'm saying more closely.
No one can give you class consciousness, or help you to apply it to the way you view art.

Lena wanted to be a famous writer.
She has mad connections because of her family.
So what did she do? She worked those connections.
Her pitch?
I'm the main character! Except all my actual faults will be under a microscope for comedic purposes (her faults as a human being disgust me, but then again, I'm a moralist) - but

Yes I've seen it.
It's not funny to me. It's not funny to a lot of my friends who live in Brooklyn and live the life that Lena so glibly portrays for the masses. Lena has never lived our life as struggling artists who do not have parents to fall back on. Yet she capitalizes on our experiences, reimagines herself in

Because her re-imagining herself as a struggling artist — when she never struggled at all, ever — is downright offensive.

Um, because Lena Dunham is an asshole IRL and Colbert is actually an amazing human being IRL...? Her play at irony is pure pretense!
