Girls is clickbait in these parts and clicks drive coverage. It gets as many clicks from people who HATE IT (and/or Lena Dunham) AND NEED TO TELL THE WORLD (I feel you) as it does from people who like it.

it IS why is she there? Why Chelsea? WHY?

I find that line interesting considering one of the (many) reasons I quit watching this show (somewhere around season 3) was because I hated how angsty they got and how little real friendship there was between the characters. I vastly prefer broad city for my “millennial women in NYC” needs, Abbi & Ilana are true…

Yes. Ever since Lena Dunham said in an interview about her being on the cover of a major magazine something along these lines of, “they just don’t put ugly people on the cover of magazines” as Tracee Ellis Ross rolled her eyes hard, my love-hate relationship with her and her show took a sharp turn towards hate.

Bums me out that Jezebel wrote almost nothing about Insecure while Girls will get a million posts.

Seriously, if I want to see a bunch of insufferable, white millenials trying to discover themselves I can just sit with the interns at their lunch table.

I feel like this is beneath Chelsea Peretti

Is it okay that I want to punch my face in repeatedly over shows about millenials in Brooklyn (Girls, Search Party, High Maintenance) even though I was born there?

I admittedly have no dog in the fight being that I’m white, but as someone who studied Spanish in college (and who is a fan of language in general), I agree here. Latinx bugs the shit out of me, because while the whole inclusion thing is a nice idea, this isn’t where you need the changes to be made.

I’m convinced this particular Jezebel article only exists so the writer could push “Latinx” super hard as a thing by using it heavily.

Thank You! My bff is Afro Latina and people still question her ethnicity, accuse her of not wanting to be “just” black (fuck you assholes that said this to her). They are erased from soaps and tv shows. And yes almost all the news correspondents have light eyes and skin.

Buenx Días. Me llamx Asano. Muchx gustx. ¿Dónde está el bañx?

Amen. You’re not seeing this in Spanish-speaking countries. I see this as trying to take away part of our culture.

Yeah, but you have to remember this isn’t about respecting Spanish or Latino people.

So are we going to start doing this with all Spanish words? I don’t know if these books were written by a man or a woman so let’s call them Librx... Those cats? Gatx.... Seriously when is this going to stop? Spanish as a language has Masculine and Feminine words... Latino, Latina, and the plural when there are both…

Latinx?? Come on, it’s much better latin@s or latinos, it sounds ridiculous to say latinx.

“Alex Alvarez is a writer based in Los Angeles, unfortunately.”

The way to encourage good work is to support talented individuals, no matter where they’re working. Whether they’re at a Vivala or a BuzzFeed or a Huffington Post, chances are good that, unless their work is shared, they won’t be there for long. And that’s probably for the best.

Isn’t your parent company owned and run by Latinx?

I agree with you wholeheartedly Alex.

I do have one concern. Latino/Latina media is generally white media anyway isn’t it?

Afro-Latinos are generally not represented physically or socially in Latino media. The media reflects the same racial hierachy that extists in ALL Latin American Societies. Look at this:
