Holy shit, io9, pay up now!
The personalities of those characters are totally accurate; that air of annoying narcissism, entitlement, and privilege is all too prevalent here. Maybe it is an east coast thing, but those characters basically represent all of the white girls I went to high school and college with, and even a few girls of color.…
I'm a 25 year old white woman living in Bushwick. I'm an intern at a magazine four days a week and I also freelance. I have HPV. I have OCD. And all of my underwear is discolored because I never keep track of when my period is coming. Not saying I'm exactly like Hannah, but we exist.
Expensive clementine.
There are things about it that I can relate to - mainly the un/underemployment themes. But I watch it cause I think it's pretty funny and most of the characters are interesting, not because it speaks to my experience.
I'm the target age of the show and it does not speak to my experience at all. I watched the first disc of the first season and really tried to give it a chance but gave up on it because it just felt so unrelatable to me.
It was a while before I could say it was an awesome decision. Making any life-altering decision in one's 20s just seems harder. But looking back, it was the best decision.
It speaks to my and my peers' experience, but it's a comedy. It exaggerates for the sake of humor and narrative convenience. I can relate to The Office because I've had weird and annoying and sometimes terrible coworkers, but I also know that the characters aren't, and aren't supposed to be, real people with…
Oh sorry! Yes, I left him. And I spent a bit of time couch surfing. But I managed to pay off my student debt, I managed to get on my feet, I got the guts to pursue my dreams (and am supporting myself with them now), and have had a long-term relationship since back in couch surf time and we're getting married this year.
For god's sake woman don't keep me in suspense, did you leave or not?
I know exactly diddly squat about her health (hope she's okay!) but I can say that this is about how my face looks if I don't put on mascara and/or eyeliner before I leave the house. I think, running late, it's not important! and then two hours later I catch a glimpse of my future cadaver in a mirror and remember…
Am I the only one that thinks the show is.......well stupid? I don't really find anything redeeming about it in any way.
She's the most conventionally attractive and that's the only reason she's scoring covers over the other Girls who are arguably more interesting both on and off-screen.
You think the media might be paying more attention to Williams because Williams is the most Beauty2K-compliant member of the cast?
Thank you for saying this. I couldn't believe the vitriol I saw in the comments section for this article. I'm nearly 30 and I like her, yes she's young and it shows in her music and some of the stuff that she talks about, but she's still got a hell of a lot of poise for a 17 year old. All in all I really like her…
Ditto what you said about the comments. I read through them and thought, "Wow. Some people are really incapable of enjoying anything."
It's disgusting to read the comments section of this article. Here are two young women trying to make something of themselves that doesn't revolve around exploiting their sexuality, and all these fully grown adults who identify as "feminists" are just ripping them apart.
I am 26 and seriously, I have all my emotions I had as a teenager. It's just that now there's a lot more breath to the context and I can now pinpoint things better than just anger/sadness/happy/bored. And even better, now I know the origin of a lot of it where before I just didn't even know what hit me then.
To be fair, there are often white people who live in latino areas, and who participate in the culture that you call latino culture. I used to know a white lebanese girl who lived in an area like that, and she talked like a boriquan and had that makeup and eyebrow thing going on. I think this website fails to…
