Surprise: One of the Writers of HBO's "Girls" Is An Asshole



Lesley Arfin, one of the writers of HBO series Girls, on Twitter.

I suppose this is a joke? Is this how she deals with commentary about the lack of diversity in the show?

oh cool, an opportunity to talk shit on lesley arfin

i used to work at buzznet. right around when i quit because of horrible people there who should grow beard trimmers for hands if there was any justice in the world, my last editor hired this gal

in the span of a month, she:

- Compared Obama to poop. Literally. Like the joke was OBAMA IS BROWN, JUST LIKE POOP.

- used everyone’s favorite transphobic slur. twice.

- called me both “gay” and a “fag” because I told her to shut up

- called many others gay and a fag

- did this:



Note the barely hidden reference to me, the “politically correct sXe vegan bike messenger type,” which she AND her editor later defended as a total coincidence.

this is who lesley arfin is. a privileged little asshole loves getting a rise out of people because no one ever holds her accountable for what she says.

fuck her.

This is the face I have when I'm driving and trying to remember if I left the iron or stove on at the house.

yeah, there's only representations of YOU

like, everywhere else.
chikntetrazzini 19th-Apr-2012 01:03 am (UTC)
You know that's not why people have a problem, right?
ohyoudo 19th-Apr-2012 01:05 am (UTC)
but that is part of the problem here
rogue 19th-Apr-2012 01:13 am (UTC)
what are you saying?

i'm telling her to shut up about not seeing herself 'represented' in precious because she is represented everywhere else 97% of the time. where is the lie?
sweet_honesty 19th-Apr-2012 01:35 am (UTC)
It's actually a big part of the problem
spider_orchid 19th-Apr-2012 02:00 am (UTC)

ms_mmelissa 19th-Apr-2012 01:05 am (UTC)

myxwill 19th-Apr-2012 12:57 am (UTC)
She's probably a hipster who says the n-word and does black face for fun~
ritsukacom 19th-Apr-2012 08:34 am (UTC)
She's just being ironic! It's totally just social commentary~
suzycat 19th-Apr-2012 12:57 am (UTC)
She's 31 and still talking this shit? GAH.
hershelwalker 19th-Apr-2012 12:59 am (UTC)

She has freelanced for a number of publications: Jezebel.com,

As far as I got in that list, tbh.
pieisgood08 19th-Apr-2012 01:19 am (UTC)
same
vela 19th-Apr-2012 01:58 am (UTC)
Just wondering, why do people dislike Jezebel? Is it because it's part of Gawker?

I've never read an article from there so that's why I'm curious :/
nimberlane 19th-Apr-2012 02:40 am (UTC)
Yep I went "AH OK" and quit
threeatatimejay 19th-Apr-2012 02:41 am (UTC)
LMAO. Same. I took one look at that and went, "Oh."
hollymarchosias 19th-Apr-2012 01:01 am (UTC)
Ah, Vice. No wonder. Vice in the mid-aughties was the home of "edgy" comedy with a lot of slurs dropped in, for instance, their Dos and Don't's feature. And yet people (like the Onion! [probably the A/V Club]) praised it. I can't.
henryevil 19th-Apr-2012 01:03 am (UTC)
She used to write for Vice, Jezebel AND Thought Catalog?

It's like hipster asshole bingo
morant_bay 19th-Apr-2012 01:14 am (UTC)
in other words, after she graduated from hampshire she really didn't have to get a job that paid the bills, hence her ability to pursue a FREElance entertainment/lifestyle writing career.
felixdemarco 19th-Apr-2012 01:22 am (UTC)
I think she was also working as a receptionist at a hotel while she was freelancing
moulinette 19th-Apr-2012 02:25 am (UTC)
I like Russh :(

That's a shame.
queensabo 19th-Apr-2012 02:31 am (UTC)
wtf how did i miss that she was the editor of missbehave...i used to like that mag
laurie_springs 19th-Apr-2012 02:49 am (UTC)
SHE WROTE FOR VICE?

lmao it all comes together.
ugly_jacket 19th-Apr-2012 12:59 am (UTC)
wow way to shoot yourself in the foot
lovelyeli 19th-Apr-2012 12:59 am (UTC)
