This is the genius of Girls. Narrative imitates reality to the core and not just any reality, that unbearable privileged white reality that we know exist but to this date no one has allowed us to sit and enjoy. The heroes don’t transcend, they’re average, shitty, humans making horrible decisions despite having advantages others don’t. Which is why the exclusion of ethnic minorities in the show is GENIUS and flattering though probably undeserved for all the Pandas in cubicles. It’s allegorical yet enjoyable because the mishaps are so explosive.
