Plus she’s ugly

I mean she is but you don't have to point it out.

Am I the only one who is a bit shocked at the general tone of the Lena Dunham thread on ResistEra? I figured it would be the mental gymnastics olympics. Surprising to see so many posters come out with like this hidden but now it's okay to show my hatred for her. Post after post of "garbage person".

For the record: Garbage Person.

You must have missed Lena Dunham threads on GAF;  after her book with her little description of fingering her sister came out she became public enemy #1 on GAF especially as she was labeled a dreaded "White Femenist" near that same time.

wait, what the... she fingered her little sister? how did this even, wut?

second, dreaded "white feminist" ??

i can't keep up with this stuff

Yeah, I missed all that too. Honestly though, I tend to nope out when I see her name mentioned.

[VomKriege]

I am howling at former GAF mods being so pissed at being called "fascists" in a blanket manner when late GAF was a competition to see how many people you could qualify by association with the most vehement word possible.

Also were less in an hurry to do so on GAF when people implied the mods were having deplorable have a go at the forum now bishop was gone.

She wrote in her book about when she was maybe 7-8 herself touching her little sister's vagina.  It's actually relatively normal shit for little kids who don't know anything about sex;  it didn't go over well on GAF though lol.

Not sure why not 

What's the dreaded "white feminist" bit? Are you saying white women can't be feminists?

II don't remember the details but there were pebbles and inserting them forcibly on her sister which seemed to be less than ordinary.

Okay, that puts it in a bit of perspective.

Also, its official. I now post here more than those other forums. I know I've picked a couple fights here but it's all in good nature and I like this place. Like you riotous, we had a little spat earlier tonight where I maybe hyperbolically accused you of calling everyone Nazis but you are cool and engage me in conversation just a short while later. That kind of behavior is refreshing, you seem chill.

Can I stay and be one of you guys?

 

[VomKriege]

"White feminist" on GAF/Era often is used in a derogatory way. Either as the idea they're "salon activists" or that feminism stops at or is modeled by racial privilege.

[jorma]

Reading that thread it's the same snarky posters with the same tired arguments and from what i can tell - with the same mod backing.

They've been posting for years and have yet to display a single instance of just being fucking chill and smoke a joint or whatever. All that virtue and purity spent on writing slight variations of the same fucking sentence in every single thread, every single day.

Not sure if they are actively seeking out an echo chamber to reside in, or if everyone else just leaves the room when they enter.

In the past, when the usual suspects show up I would just head to the gaming side to bitch about pixels or frame rates. Lately though, I have just been catching the cliff notes in this thread.

Pedophiles are people too, and trapped within the corrupted US justice system all because privledged adults won’t let them near their privileged children. ERA has a policy of welcoming with open arms any and all underrepresented minorities.

Unless You’re Colin Moriarty. Even if he comes out as a pedophile, he’s still not welcome.

I cam never tell if anyone is joking here. But if you aren't there is absolutely nothing privileged about being a victim. And that's all I'll say on the matter.

If you were joking everybody can laugh at me

And now I will probably go back to lurking forever, because while you guys are funny sometimes has no skills and being feeling myself. Y'all are pretty entertaining

[VomKriege]

You're right, I looked for the quote again and she said she spread open her sister's vagina and found the pebbles in there. Somehow I had a much more dark recollection of that bit.
I stand corrected.

She legit thought she was being quirky and funny, makes me wonder where her boundaries lie tbh.

[shosta]

I don't know what annoys me more; the faux-outrage Olympics over this chick or her obnoxious writing.  She's a narcisist whose shtick is to talk about how much of a narcisist she is;  couldn't think of anything more daft.

While her shtick is annoying I think it was fairly important and interesting when she first made a splash. I remember when Tiny Furniture came out it wasn't very well received but it really floored me. It was like Garden State, but repurposed in such a way that it captured the Millennial feeling of being lost that kind of permeated the rest of the decade, certainly before other people were doing it. And then she turned it into Girls, which wasn't especially interesting as it droned on with its terrible cast, but the first season roared with the same contemporary energy. Like other people, I'm not interested in the characters at all, but I think it's worth pointing out at least that people had the exact same complaints about Trainspotting 15 years earlier: horrible people doing horrible things with no future.

Here's the actual parapgraph about that:

And the paragraph where she is clearly jokingly making an analogy to a sexual predator to describe how she wanted to be close to her sister:

Ok, i get how she's writing this. Resetgaf going all nutso over it is stupid. She's a bad writer, i'm not a fan, but i get.

What's shocking to me is how corporations, the media, and various other outlets are still caring about twitter/online outrage. Hasn't the cat gotten out of the bag yet? These people are mainly fucking losers that wan't nothing else but to feel important, like they're making a difference with their rage.

They're the same people that used to pick up tabloid magazines while waiting in line at the grocery store to read juicy gossip about a movie star or politicians misdeeds so they can feel better about their miserable meaningless lives.

Or like randos gossiping and bitching about what other randos write on a meaningless forum dedicated to manchildren toys to extract a smug, crass sense of superiority.

I mean I don't think the "corporations and media" have a lot of say in it. This is the world we live in, it's just gotten a lot faster and hasty.

[venereology]

That shit is old as hell; 2014 IIRC.  But it gets brought up in all Dunham threads.

that's because everybody on that forum has a one-strike rule regarding everything and then plugs their ears to anything else relating to that subject.

well, everybody except the people who then become hyper-obsessed with said issue and can't stop digging into it

Her latest offense is believing a male friend over a female accuser.

You know what else happened in 2014, right?  Gamergate

Edit: Also it was considered a big enough deal to where she had to cancel her stupid and shitty book tour.

[nudemacusers]

They let a bunch of creepy pedo types back in aka anime and figure gaf. Plus the account suicide was situationally justifiable since it was making a statement against the sexual abuser known as evilore

When over 97% of sexual assault cases are true, you don’t say: “Almost always belive the woman,” you say “Belive the woman.”

Wow, that's like prosecutor running for DA level conviction numbers.

Meanwhile, there’s a news story running where a dude was in jail for like 40 years for a rape he was exonerated for.

And also meanwhile there was a chick in the UK who was jailed in August for making 15 false rape accusations against multiple people.

Your particular situation is absolutely unfortunate, and I'm sorry. Really, I mean that; I am sorry you had to go through that.

But perhaps precisely because of the intimate personal affect this has had on your life, you may be particularly incapable of discussing this topic objectively and rationally. Not because you're a bad person, just because it has had such a serious impact on your life.

[benjipwns]

lol that wasn't even a month ago yet

Opiate posting here a ton during the EVILORE STATEMENT WAITING PERIOD I mean, and me dropping that on him because everyone else was fighting with him rather than doing the most obvious wisecrack

no. if you can use cheats in game or easily use a cheat engine then the developers intend you to cheat or never bothered to try stop you.

What a nonsense.
"This products lie on the shelf without any protection, so I can take them freely".

Where I'm from, EULA's aren't binding unless you got to read/agree to them *before* the purchase. Can't remember the last time someone made me sign a EULA before buying a game.

I have never read or signed anything related to any kind of law agreements in my country, so I can murder everyone I want and steal whatever I want.

The answer to this question is yes, it is piracy.

As has been stated before, when you buy a game you are actually purchasing A license to use that software. The EULA will detail exactly what this grants you access to.

If you use tools to circumvent security elements that prevent you from gaining access to certain portions of content that you have not paid for and were not granted access to via your initial purchase, then this is an act of piracy.

Imagine if the game was free to play with adverts and micro transactions. All the revenue for that game comes through those sources. If you choose to remove the adds or get the content behind the micro transactions without paying then that is piracy and is detrimental to the developers.

The fact that you may have already paid an "entry fee" to get the game is the first place is irrelevant.

I'm always reluctant to make comparisons to the real world, but a cable Or satellite TV subscription may be suitable. Just because you have the equipment capable of receiving all the channels does not mean you are entitled to those channels without paying additional fees. The same is true with games and software.

Nintendo should have tried these arguments in court to stop the Game Genie.

His post was more of a reaction to people leaving though and in that context it makes sense. Plenty of people then saying that hopefully now they'll be able to discuss games. Turning that into "...without the persons of color badgering us" is perfectly in line with how some of the woke crowd thought of NeoGAF (and everything) as a nest of Mandchurian candidate like white supremacists communicating through dog whistles.

[Momo]

I agree.

My complaint/observation is just how insane it is that the incident with the site owner suddenly turned everyone remaining on the site into the other, be that gators/nazis/wife beaters or whatever. Says a lot about that group of people and honestly what can I expect from people who by and large echoed a sentiment like cutting people out of their lives that voted Trump over Hillary. tl;dr glad that bunch are keeping to themselves and I dont have to read any of their bullshit except to laugh at them via proxy in this thread.

GAF thread about Lena Dunham (defending a rapist working on her show) was deleted (or has disappeared?) for some reason. Things got heated by the first page.

 

[etiolate]

When I think of Lena Dunham, I for some reason always think about Bill Simmons saying he watches her show Girls to better understand his little girl.

I can't help but find that fucked up. If Lena is the model your using to understand your girl then your kid is doomed.

I'm not sure you could make a definitive claim even with the content of the Flickr page, which were IIRC unsettling but only damning colored by the accusation. I can believe he was enough of a self styled rationalist to take the "high road" of "defending" pedophiles in his usual verbosity. I could also see why he just walked away, I would assume it is futile if not mentally aggravating to try to defend yourself against a mob like GAF when such an ostracizing allegation is made.

Since he denied being the owner of that Flickr account, It's really down to if you believe him or not.

I'll give him that he registered and said his piece on the Bore instead of having a ridiculous Twitter meltdown like a couple of others for much less heinous stuff than being suspected by some of being an actual IRL pedo.

[LurkinMerkin]

Interesting article about how Lena Dunham has been written about on and off since she was 11 in an ever escalating pattern, being shoehorned into articles that had nothing to do with her at the height of Girls popularity. Nearly 20 years of it now. It’s honestly disgusting.
http://prospect.org/article/falling-down-rabbit-hole-nyc’s-lena-dunham-obsession

A couple of examples:

"There's no Prada allowed in one downtown household. Laurie Simmons and Carroll Dunham's eleven-year-old daughter, Lena, has a street edge that could leave even Miss Schnabel feeling momentarily inadequate. 'I tried to model this after Helmut Lang,' says Lena, showing off a shift she sewed herself. Her fashion pronouncements are something you'd expect from a woman (at least) three times her age: 'I tend not to go for trends. You can only wear them for two weeks . . . . I really like Jil Sander, but it's so expensive.... I find Calvin Klein really hard to respect because he's everywhere. I view him as a clothesmonger . . . . Manolo is really classy.' Then she returns to preteen reality—'But five dollars a week [i.e., her allowance] isn't really enough. I'm just looking.'"

- March 1998: A Vogue story on precocious tweens in New York featuring Lena Dunham.
 

April 27, 2003: The New York Times sends a reporter to 16-year-old Lena Dunham's vegan dinner party. The menu included four dips and second helpings of Justin Timberlake shaming. One attendee said, ''I would like to go on record that no one else in this room actually owns the Justin Timberlake CD. At St. Ann's we're too cool for popular culture.''

With that kind of charmed life you can see how she might think she can say any outrageous thing that pops into her head, like doing a 180 about believing harrasment and rape victims when her friend and colleague is in the hot seat. Or think that exploring her toddler sister’s pussy and discovering pebbles inside would be a good anecdote for her memoirs. Memoirs at the ripe old age of not quite 30 no less.

As for why anyone thought she would be a good choice to speak at the DNC, I have no insight.

The handle in question is bodhesatva, but yeah, it's still thin. Someone vehemently claimed the Flickr account is from his area (no further details), but if you actually look, the only indications point to it being a Russian's account.
As far as I can tell, someone just sifted Google results for anything incriminating tying pedophilia and the bodhesatva handle and ran with it. People believed it because of his 'defending' of pedophiles.
