you know he's being ironic right

seriously tho when you're a White Feminist really the only thing you have to do is not libel survivors, peak "you had one job" shit

Anyway, Lena’s actions here were harmful. I think she was trying to defend a friend and was probably in denial, but that in no way excuses it.

Sounsa like Lena means that the guy accused told her stuff that wasn’t true. Headline is bad.
― Nerdstrom Poindexter, Thursday, 6 December 2018 20:04 (five years ago) link
Yeah, but she said she had privileged information which proved it wasn't true. She now admits she made that up.

Think it through a bit more. I know he’s known for ironic posts but there’s a clear joke there and he makes fun of group think among people he politically agrees with all the time.

“While our first instinct is to listen to every woman’s story, our insider knowledge of Murray’s situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3 percent of assault cases that are misreported every year,” they wrote, concluding, “We stand by Murray and this is all we’ll be saying about this issue.”Read more: https://forward.com/schmooze/415469/lena-dunham-apologizes-admits-she-lied-to-discredit-alleged-rape-victim/

his online personality is from the POV - feigned or real - of a trad cath and stalinist. he pillories the dsa regularly, usually in a clearly playful, but consistent manner
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 6 December 2018 20:08 (five years ago) link
Yeah that means she believed her friend
― Nerdstrom Poindexter, Thursday, 6 December 2018 20:08 (five years ago) link
no you are bad at reading

what does “I didn’t have the ‘insider information’ I claimed" mean in fucking centrist moron language?
She’s not coming back Jim

i feel like literally every single one of her myopic fuckups was eminently avoidable

Her ability to repeatedly kick herself in the junk is incredible.
― louise ck (milo z), Thursday, 6 December 2018 20:13 (five years ago) link
Okay. “I believed my friend who privately assured me it wasn’t true” . “she made up stuff” is reaching.
― Nerdstrom Poindexter, Thursday, 6 December 2018 20:15 (five years ago) link
She misrepresented the quality of the information she had, implying it was more than just a private assurance. It was bad so she apologized.
― Trϵϵship, Thursday, 6 December 2018 20:16 (five years ago) link
if you're going to defend her at least read what it actually says nerdstrom. She admitted that she lied. She claimed to have some kind of specific knowledge that she didn't actually have.

if nerdstrom isn't 51'd some day soon I'm going to... do nothing at all

ironic revive given that I just re-watched the #metoo GIRLS episode (which was better than I remembered it tbh)
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 6 December 2018 21:44 (five years ago) link
was one of the best girls episodes imo, like many of the eps where dunham gets the writing credit
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 6 December 2018 22:57 (five years ago) link
the final shot of this parade of women going up to the guy's door was v good and maybe the only time the show deviated from its commitment to realism...?

speaking of Dunham I'd been kind of enjoying Camping which she produces and cowrites and just learned that this was a UK show first. But I seem to be unable to find the British version in any streaming services or even in a torrent. Is it available anywhere?
― akm, Friday, 7 December 2018 17:49 (five years ago) link
I couldn't make it through the first episode of that. Had no idea there was a UK version.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 7 December 2018 18:05 (five years ago) link
The, actually good, UK version is on dailymotion (and seemingly nowhere else)
Search username 'couchtripper'
― Number None, Friday, 7 December 2018 18:21 (five years ago) link
But I seem to be unable to find the British version in any streaming services or even in a torrent.
It was made for Sky Atlantic, so is probably exclusive to their streaming service (which possibly only runs on hardware that you have to order from them in the UK?)
you can stream it illegally though

i haven't seen camping (uk) but julia davis is a genius
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Friday, 7 December 2018 19:09 (five years ago) link
I'm still surprised no one stole it off Sky while running and threw files up on torrent sites though. Ok well this will work.
US version is not so bad though Jennifer Garner is the worst thing about it. Jennifer Lewis is amusing.
― akm, Friday, 7 December 2018 19:26 (five years ago) link
yeah, I couldn't take how insufferable Garner was
― Οὖτις, Friday, 7 December 2018 19:27 (five years ago) link
she's not suppose to be likable in any way shape or form so in that respect it works but still.
― akm, Friday, 7 December 2018 19:34 (five years ago) link
IDG the point of wholly unlikeable protagonists. Seems like it's just a defense mechanism for not actually knowing how to write a likeable protagonist.
