Not for real GIRLS fans.

“I've only listened to three episodes of this podcast but I'm pretty sure I've heard enough.
GIRLS is a funny, smart, honest, and completely unique portrayal of what it means to be a young woman today. Unlike nearly every other show on TV today, GIRLS aims to depict women in the ways they truly exist- both in their storylines and in their casting. The women on this show bate their cellulite, pubic hair, and imperfections without shame or embarrassment. It's a conscious effort made by the show's creators to help change unrealistic industry standards on the female image and it's part of why GIRLS has been so successful.
So I was reasonably disappointed and offended when I heard one of the hosts of this podcast, in reviewing episode 8 of the series, making childish and insensitive fat jokes directed at Lena Dunham, the show's creator, producer, and lead actor. It's reasonable to comment on her appearance throughout the show- Dunham intentionally bares it all to shock audiences and get them talking about the female body/image. But taking petty shots at Dunham's weight just for laughs is just catty, judgmental, and completely unnecessary. Fat shaming is a horrible means of oppressing other women by attempting to make them feel shame or discomfort for their looks. I don't want to listen to women bashing other women, and I don't think many real GIRLS fans would want to hear that either. It's sad and inappropriate for these women to body shame Lena Dunham while simultaneously benefiting from her success with their own podcast.”
