It’s kinda like performance art at this point. I was shocked at first. But now I’m kinda digging it. And I’m kinda looking at myself, as any good art should make you do.
I haven’t heard her speak in ages. Just pictures. What does it say about me that I have to rip her to shreds about how obscenely fat she is every time I see her? And I do.
She is a very rich woman with all the means in the world not to be fat. She is a sloppy fat too, so it’s not her build to carry weight. It’s a choice.
She’s forcing us to look at her and confront what we don’t like about ourselves - all the things we wish we could change, but can’t. Because she obviously chooses this at this point. What’s it like to see some not struggle to be their best self - actively chose to be their worst?

yes, R32, that is a better way to say it. There area things about my life I wish were different, things that are actually within my power to change, but I just haven't. She makes us feel uncomfortable but she is choosing the side of insecurity. Although in an odd way she comes across as very empowered by her weight. Her liking it doesn't seem to be a lie as it usually is for fat people who just can't seem to get it under control. Because as soon as there was a pill, just about every body positive fat chick began loosing the pounds through "walking and breathing exercises..."
She is worth about 12 million dollars. She could go on Ozempic with a dietician and a personal chef - IF she didn't want to be as big as she is. I think she likes being a big ole in your face fat bitch and watching you squeam.

R55 You forgot to add Camille also called her a big pile of pudding.
But yeah Camille’s point about Lena was that Lena used feminism and social activism as a coping mechanism to her insecurities and neuroticism.
by Anonymous | reply 71 | July 9, 2025 2:55 AM |
Lena is a symbol of the 2010s
The 2010s was this major shift where external validation increasingly came not from self-improvement or achievement, but from public alignment with certain social values. In a media ecosystem driven by Twitter, Tumblr, and think-piece culture, victimhood and political righteousness became new currencies of identity and power.
If someone didn’t feel conventionally attractive, talented, or special, the prevailing narrative increasingly said: You don’t need to change—you need to call out the system that makes you feel this way. Instead of personal growth, the energy was redirected into activism, often framed through lenses like body positivity, intersectionality, or mental health destigmatization—but not always with depth or consistency.
This led to what critics like Paglia, Bret Easton Ellis, and even older feminists like Germaine Greer saw as a kind of therapeutic activism—activism centered less on changing the world and more on defending personal wounds. It was deeply emotional, often performative, and sometimes punitive.
Rather than seeking attention through beauty, charisma, or talent, people could now gain social capital by appearing “morally superior” or “oppressed.” That doesn’t mean the activism was all disingenuous—plenty of real issues were discussed—but the incentive structures definitely changed. Suddenly, being seen as harmed or marginalized became its own form of clout.
And that’s exactly what Lena Dunham represented and it’s also probably why she’s faded from obscurity because that trend has started to collapse.

Lena may have been swept up in a movement of body positivity and 2010s “wokeness” but I don’t think she herself sees it that way. She has always been about herself. And her callous comments in the past about other “victims” is the opposite impulse of what representatives of a movement try to do, people who pride themselves in their awareness of the slightest marginalized grievance.
I think she is just a straight up exhibitionist who enjoys exposing the ugly, whether in her physicality or personality. You can see this in the way she dressed herself on Girls, and especially that highly unlikely, one-off episode where she got banged all weekend by Patrick Wilson. She enjoys grossing people out and then forcing them to question why they are grossed out.

In a cast of young, thin, conventionally more attractive white girls, why is she the one that gets that primo dick in what seems a fantastical scenario?
She is obviously talented. And it’s not like her father is Steven Spielberg. She did carve her own much larger path apart from her parents in a very difficult industry - especially for a woman that looks like he. But it upsets us because we think how in the world can someone who looks like that have everything she has? It’s upsetting because it leaves no room for excuses as to why we don’t have what we want in our lives. And we need our excuses to shield us from our own personal disappointments. So when someone comes along and says no - you have no excuse, we get angry for being exposed.

This is total nonsense. Girls was popular for its type and among a certain crowd, but it was nowhere near the mainstream hit the shows you mentioned were. Euphoria is maybe the closest, but the others were absolutely massive compared to Girls.
Every woman (and gay) of a certain age knows all about SATC. And their straight boyfriends and husbands were familiar enough with it to roll their eyes at it. The Sopranos was water cooler level talk for both blue and white collar workers. Everyone knew about it despite it being on HBO. GOT was discussed all over the Internet.

I’m done mocking women for being fat/not hot. Why does it bother people so much? Really asking that.
She gives me the creeps for other reasons though. Nepo baby, pebbles in sisters pussy, etc.
Girls was a good show.

[quote]She is NOT in Chrissy Metz territory. Chrissy Metz is close to 400 lbs (even with her alleged "100 lb weight loss"), and I'd put Lena at around 230 or 240...maybe even 250.
Chrissy Metz gets so much hate on here for no reason. Yet by all accounts she is a very sweet girl. And you don't see her going around exposing herself every chance she gets.
This nepo baby wouldn't be where she is were it not for her connections. Take away the exhibitionism and there's nothing of value to say. She's also racist.

This beached whale's need to expose herself is not an indictment of my failings but kudos to Andrew Runnells and whatever interns are trying to sell that.
Not interested in her work but not denying its value. Just not my thing.

Lena Dunham didn’t break through in spite of the cultural moment—she embodied it. She wasn’t some outsider pushing through impossible odds; she was perfectly positioned within the early 2010s zeitgeist of neurotic millennial feminism, body positivity as disruption, privilege disguised as radical transparency, and hyper-online self-mythologizing
She wasn’t just aligned with the Twitter/Tumblr wave—she helped define it. Her success wasn’t a middle finger to convention as much as it was a symptom of a new, niche convention being born. She became the acceptable face of messiness, insecurity, and “realness” for a very specific class: white, educated, urban millennials with access to media and a hunger for self-examination as performance.
So yeah, she wasn’t conventionally hot or cool—but she didn’t need to be. She offered something more valuable at that time: cultural relevance and political alignment. That opened doors. The timing helped. So did being plugged into the right circles (indie film, NYC lit scene, Judd Apatow, etc.).

Yeah she's fat. And incredibly annoying.
But I started rewatching Girls on Netflix. That first season is fucking hysterical. She created a damn good show. I'm a half generation older than Lena, but man it hit home harder than I remember in the moment.

I think one reason Chrissy gets so much shit here is that she's a very pretty woman - so all of us average lookers have a subconscious "how dare you fuck that huge gift / advantage up" reaction. Lens is just average looking.

"In a cast of young, thin, conventionally more attractive white girls, why is she the one that gets that primo dick in what seems a fantastical scenario?"
In all fairness, in the Patrick Wilson episode, it wasn't like he was out among all sorts of women and picked Hannah. She went to his house to apologize for Ray and they got to talking and then fucking I could believe that a guy, marriage on the fritz, would fuck Hannah if she was readily available, as she was. I think it was less about him thinking she was super attractive than having an easy conquest. And while Hannah was poorly shaped and chunky, she wasn't crazily obese by any means.

She was thin for a bit before Girls. When she was in full eating disorder mode. There are pictures. After girls, she did once again lose some weight and had a pretty face.

They must have put those heels on her after she sat down. There is no way in hell she could balance herself on those. Even a skilled high heel walker has trouble in that particular style of heel.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall listening to the photographer bark out instructions. “Think seduction Lena! Push it in, give more chin. MORE CHINS!”

Textbook example that you never really can outrun your demons. Wherever you move to, there you are, demons and all. She's exactly the same as she was in NYC and no Variety puff piece about a supposed rebirth can change that fact.
