Again, I only saw the first few episodes but I never, ever felt like the writing thought of Hannah as anything more than an adorable scamp. This is what I mean when I say there is actually a place for a biting satire here, but much like Dunham’s book, it’s always the whole, “Ain’t I stinker?” kind of thing followed…

Has it become self-aware at this point? There’s actually a devastating satire to be had with these characters, but instead the early writing insists that, despite their “quirks” (whininess and pretension) and “questionable decisions” (being spoilt gentrifiers), they’re still lovable people worth rooting for. I…

Whoops— that should read “lacked self awareness”

I, for one, DON’T get it. You don’t get to ascribe shitty thoughts like that to someone just because they LOOKED at you. “...and he determined I was not the shape of a woman by his standards. He was like, “That’s a marshmallow. That’s a child. That’s a dog.” She has ZERO basis for saying this about the man.

I watched three episodes of Girls and couldn’t believe how much it lacked self unawareness. I kept waiting for the punch line— waiting for it to reveal itself as a parody of stereotypical Millenials, waiting for it to let me know it was in on the joke: Hannah is terrible! But I kept watching and came to the horrific…

Dunham represents absolutely everything wrong with rich, white girl “feminism” (in scare quotes because I don’t think her particular brand of the stuff really IS feminism). She is one penis away from being one of THE most privileged people the country has to offer and meanwhile all she can do is act like she’s some…

I’m a prof too and I agree with your assessment here. I think the hardest thing for me to accept is that many students can’t get past simple semantics and into the real meat of critical thinking. When going over modes of documentary, I showed the opening few minutes of Ken Burns’ The Civil War as an example of the…

I really, really hope he donates any winnings to students. The racists who did this shit to him won’t be the ones to pay. It will basically end in cuts to education once the state government finds it self down money.

It’s a white girl who “diversified” her video as a way to market it. It’s puke worthy. It does nothing to forward the cause of people of color or the LGBTQ movement. They’re there strictly so this idiot can pound her chest about it. We’ve seen colleges photoshop black people into their pictures in the viewbook, and…

Also: “Notably, the project primarily features people of color and LGBT people in an effort to widen the scope of what representation for both groups can evolve to be—sooner rather than later—in mainstream media.”

This is just fucking patronizing. You don’t just stick POC and LGBTQ people in a video and suddenly it’s…

Can we please, please, please stop with the “shot for shot remake” bullshit? “HEY- REMEMBER THIS THING YOU LIKED? I’M GONNA DO IT TOO!!! LOOK!!! IT’S SOMETHING YOU ALREADY LIKE!! I’M ALL OUTTA IDEAS BUT THIS SHOULD GO VIRAL BECAUSE I’M REFERENCING POP CULTURE YOU ACTUALLY LIKE!”. This stuff needs to go into a garbage…

For the love of fuck stop giving this asshole so much ink. I beg you.

If only he sang the original lyrics which were about fucking men.

“Tutti Frutti, good booty/If it don’t fit, don’t force it/You can grease it, make it easy”

Young Little Richard will always be the most rock and roll thing out there— a flamboyant, gay black man with a ridiculous amount of talent just rubbing it in…

“This is a very serious issue so make sure you support and it and doesn’t my butt look GREAT!”. I’m sorry, I think Amy is really funny but this is crushingly eye-roll worthy. If she’s happy with herself and wants to post her naked body, I’m all for it. But it’s pretty fucking disingenuous to do it and then claim it’s…

I’m not saying this just to go against the grain, but I found the ending seriously underwhelming. Almost nothing has changed. For the whole series they tease the idea that Nathan’s personal obsessions will hurt him or the ones he loves down the line and literally none of that comes to be. It’s just a sappy, tacked on…

Allow me to be THAT pedantic asshole who reminds everyone that Ian never let violence go on at Minor Threat or Fugazi shows. You’re welcome. I’m an amazing, amazing dick.

Except Hilary called Monica a Narcissistic Looney Tune.

Why people aren’t more bothered by the several accusations against Bill and the fact that Hilary at best did nothing and at worst attacked the victims boggles my mind. People who would normally scream at others that victims should absolutely always believe suddenly get an “I know nothing!” thing going on the moment it…

To each their own, of course, and I would never try to rob you of the joy this gave you. That said, I literally groaned and rolled my eyes when I figured this out. I was already sick of the blatant fan service and this was a step too far for me. I didn’t want to revisit these places— I wanted to go to new ones. It…

There are so, so, so many better women rock and rollers who do this. Love is terrible and in a perfect world would never even be breathing the same air as someone like Kim Deal.
