Because it's Jezebel and when they aren't finding ways to topple Lena Dunham, they are writing useless articles about every move Beyonce makes and then explaining to us why she is the best person alive on this planet. Ever.

Soooooo....it's okay for Beyoncé to act like this, but not Miley Cyrus? Why are we okay with slut-shaming Miley?

As a struggling writer in Brooklyn, I do not give a shit about whether or not Lena Dunham is "authentic." Her experience isn't my experience and it doesn't have to represent me or anyone else. The fact that Girls is opening the door for more shows created by young women - Broad City, for instance - is good enough for…

"I am choosing to interpret a line in a movie in a way that justifies my anger."

>It feels like the wrong application for a technology that should be baked directly into our brains by now or something.

Are you doing a parody here?

So actors can only ever play characters whose experiences directly mirror their own? That's absurd, and you know it.

I really don't get why people don't understand this. Stephen Colbert manages to portray a character who even shares his name and people can tell the difference between his character and his actual personality.

That's a different discussion, entirely, and one someone should have with him to better educate him on the topic. Not arguing there at all. BUT, the fashion industry is not using diverse trans models, either. Only the same old tall, thin, slim hipped model.

So? Lots of people in TV/movies have created and played characters that say absurd things, yet I can't think of one single instance where someone was held to account for something their character said the way Dunham has been.

And yet you have time to read the article AND make a comment about it. Baffling.

Your rage is also misplaced, however. Gunn has repeatedly called for more diverse shapes on the runway. He disapproves of using tall, skinny, white women, and has said so many times before. He was saying here that designers are using trans models, who specifically fit all the boxes of cis-female models, as a guise of…

Will people ever stop pretending that Dunham has referred to herself as "the voice of a generation"? Because it did not happen.

Not Madeleine, perhaps, but some of the commenters and the perpetually offended internet hive mind which demands a blood sacrifice almost daily.

Sometimes on this site and Gawker if you are not 100% PC all the time you will be attacked mercilessly. There is NO room for being conflicted about an issue. I thought Gunn's comments displayed empathy and great thought. Now I will prepare for the barrage of hate.

yeah i don't really see anything wrong with what he said. and i have nothing against trans models but i think it's kind of ironic that everyone is flocking to defend andrej pejic when, if she weren't trans, people here would be bitching about how she's exactly the kind of tall, skinny white blonde chick that is…

The Trans community should attack their obvious allies at every opportunity. Shame and vitriol are so much more effective than education.

Oh great, Jezebel is trying to turn me against another person that I like.

Yet another case of "Something must be everything or else it is nothing," huh? I appreciated his thoughtful response.

I don't think what he said is problematic. He admits he's conflicted on the issue. If you feel he doesn't have a complete understanding of the issue, surely you can relay information without shaming him.
