I like to imagine the vocal performance on "Wuthering Heights" coming from a blacktop match between some show-off who thinks she's all that, egging on Kate Bush to show everyone "what she's got." And when she gets through the first run at the chorus, the crowd—which had previously scoffed at the little girl and mocked…

This was painful. The Mrs. and I love this show, but I've lived through bad 90s TGIF program-length advertisements for Disney once already.

No.

Donald Trump is Eric Cartman. South Park doesn't even need to make a new episode to highlight this. Take just about anything Trump has done and you can find a Cartman-centered episode that mirrors it.

"Fumbling for meaning" is one of the all-time great turns of phrases, and it's a throwaway line in that show.

Yeah you were, looks like one of your comments was flagged for some reason I don't understand. My feed is basically just you saying the same thing four different ways. It's fine, free internet and all that. I'm crazy, okay. Have a good night.

You're posting the same thing over and over. Heard you loud and clear.

Okay.

Yeah, heard you the first time.

Maybe it's the lawyer in me. Mobs and "mob justice" and "some people don't deserve defenders" and "internet harassment isn't a thing" all make me nervous …

"Oh, I don't read minds." "It seems that you find me annoying." Yeah, you totally do. It's okay sometimes to be wrong. I'm often wrong. I try to own up to it.

So my bag is either (a) duh, every person putting out content is seeking attention, so the point is kind of moot, or (b) there's something different about Lena "seeking attention" (which, I have to say, is the language used to blame victims in other contexts) that makes her more … "deserving"(?) than other people who…

I don't know what to tell you. She's an artist speaking with another artist. Of course she was seeking attention. What differentiates her from anyone putting content out there?

"She wanted attention." … yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh, I can't put into quick words how squicky this critique makes me feel.

"There's no other way to read it." Yeah, I do find that an annoying perspective. And while we're reading each other's mind, you seem annoyed by me challenging your reading (and also, bizarrely, by the very existence of Lena Dunham).

Yeah, I'll be honest, even the "most of the comments" kind of piss me off. Not because you can't find what she said annoying or unfunny, but (a) when the Internet seems to collectively reach a snap conclusion without nuance, my own knee-jerk reaction is to feel squicky about it, and (b) I really don't look forward to…

You and I can read her quote differently. I'm not obliged to do your research if you put out an argument and can't support it.

That's pretty weak tea if that's what you're using to hold her "accountable" (whatever that means in an artistic context) for representing *all* of any group of people or a philosophy.

So an artist with a feminist voice? And that all feminism should therefore be judged by it?

"A good opportunity to knock down Dunham a peg"? Is it Sunday already?
