Lena Dunham-hate
A lot of people hate Lena Dunham. I don't. I know all the reasons people hate her—well, I'm not entirely sure why John Cook on Gawker hates her SO much, because I don't think she killed his puppy?—but none of those reasons seem so specific to what Lena Dunham creates and markets, which is a rendering of a lifestyle remarkably similar to those of the people who hate Dunham. Only the movie and the HBO series and the book deal are all property of Lena Dunham, not of anyone else, no matter how much better they think they could have done with the opportunity. Anyway. I don't think she's perfect or anything, but I can't hate her at all. Not even a little bit.
