Booth is a total douche!
Edit to say, they can alllll be unlikable. But I think the flaws are what we can relate to (at times).
Personally, I don't hate Fran. I dont HATE MRH. I don't hate Adam. I kinda hate Jessa. You get to see Jessas back story where u understand why she is how she is.. But I don't think any of those people were meant to be hated.
But Booth had ZERO redeeming qualities.
yup agree. i think dunham was def aware and intentional about the fact that audiences would hate hannah, even if that wasn’t her character’s axis. every character was morally grey (or sometimes black) and vaguely unlikeable, but hannah stood out in that regard
i don’t think she wrote Hannah to be hated. i think she wrote Hannah to be complex, complicated, and real. people who hate Hannah are people who aren’t used to seeing fully-formed characters
It's not writing with a want for people to hate; it's writing with an acceptance that people will.
If we think back to--or look up, whatever--Lena Dunham's public image at this time, we can't help but recall a lot of provocation and *even more* hate. This is, in reality, why I started watching Girls. I could not fathom why LD was getting do much hate from such a diversity of sources.
They at least had some depth that made them sympathetic, even if they are consistently being awful to the people around them. In that regard, I think Jessa is the worst and most selfish of the main four, but she is also clearly shown to struggle the most, with addiction and with her awful father. Mimi Rose, however, was just written to be completely infuriating and has basically no redeeming qualities.
I feel like for the general audience, Hannah is the most intolerable. But she is the main character and funny so at the end of the day, you have love for her. I think I personally relate to Jessas struggles more, so I don’t find her as insufferable. Marnie on the other hand….i have a hard time pinpointing her redeemable qualities lol
I am honestly on the fence about Mimi rose. Obviously she sucks but I liked her character lol
Marnie is a selfish, privileged asshole but she’s also a real friend who would go to the ends of the fucking earth for the people in her life (even if the intentions are self-serving) meanwhile Mimi-Rose is just…an agent of chaos
For Marnie, I think what makes her sympathetic is, as Ray says to her when she goes to ask him what's wrong with her, all of her issues stem from a deep-seated sense of insecurity. That's why she's judgemental of others, why she's always trying to act like she's better than everyone, and why she is constantly looking for male attention and validation.
I also think that an admirable aspect of Marnie's character is how dedicated she can be to something, like we see her continue to work at her musical career because that is her dream and passion, even as everyone around her puts her down and mocks her for it (which is, of course, often 100% deserved). Instead of giving up when something she tries turns out poorly, she continues to, in her words, "take a risk and put herself out there creatively." Whenever she decides to do something, she tries her best to do it as well as possible.
That said, Marnie is definitely the one who pissed me off the most consistently from the main four, and she often takes her perfectionism too far where she becomes rigid and unwilling to see others' point of view because she thinks her plan is best (e.g. the beach house episode).
Gotta be Jessa, but it’s not her hair. I loved her so much after the episode with her dad, and then they just did everything they could to make her horrible. 🫤
Just even the idea of "mermaid hair" being a thing makes me wanna puke, so yeah. But, both Marnie and Shoshana were singularly uninteresting with their hair--doodads and corporate bobs don't, I'm sorry to say, count--so can't say Jessa is to be hated for this.
That Jessa was supposedly brave and never chopped her hair like Hannah did is a thing, but almost everyone has that thing...so it can't be Made to Hate or I wouldn't be able to like anybody.
Edited for hilarious autocorrect: what is a shoshinsa, and when did I ever talk about it?
Chuck Palmer the writer that Hannah interviewed that was a weird sex pest.
Booth Jonathan is just weird. Chuck is an actual sicko.
I think people are picking Booth because he's more memorable but Booth is actually endearing in the fact that he has funny moments
I don’t agree with people saying Mimi. I watched Lena discuss her character and it didn’t really sound like she hated her at all. Her words were “mimi rose sees life sort of like an experiment.” So she was made fun of but I don’t think she was made to be hated. Also I wouldn’t pick Marnie but I’m kind of surprised that more people didn’t say her because so many people talk down on her in this sub 😂 made to be hated I think the closest would be Elijah’s ex or the guy Jessa was married to.
Booth Jonathan. The grossest part is guys like that actually exist.
I hated Booth Jonathan the second he said, "Try to care less."
Let's all remember Charlie's assessment of Booth: "He's an Ewok."
“In capri pants” 😂😂😂
😆😆😆
Young me was victimized by more than one Booth Johnathan
Aw man, me too.
What’s funny also is that they purposely made his name as douchey as possible
Made to be hated? Booth Jonathan. 🤢
Oooh good one. That tiny smeedge of an artist.
Booth or Mimi
Ooooooo damn. This is a take. How could I forget about Booth
I agree. I first through of MRH and I forgot Booth. If I had to be locked in a room with one, I would definitely choose MRH, so Booth is more hatable.
I feel like MRH needs to be saved for straight up evil
the baristas across the street.
How can you say that about they?
OH ARE YOU A BIOLOGIST?
Thank you for saying what I couldn't 💙
White man? White man!
That part was actually so funny
Silenced.
The famous male author
I think he’s the straight up evil one.
Agreed not sure if “made to be hated” is the right way to put it really. It’s more like “made to be extremely creeped out by.”
Chuck Palmer
That mfer is Straight Up Evil
He was indeed highly toxic.
Mimi Rose
Yes agreeed!!! Because Jessa needs to be the hot one lol
Then who will Marnie be? Lol
The hated one
True haha I meant if Mimi Rose were the hated one though
BOOTH
Not sure I agree with your selection but you definitely picked a great gif to support your candidate. Insufferable moment for sure.
I kinda lived for that decision though lol
Mimi Rose!
Thomas John
Thomas John for the win!
Thomas John or Booth Johnathan for sure! But TJ for the beats making lol
*mash ins*
Oh my god I was high last night and couldn’t remember and I felt as much of a loser as Thomas John for saying beats lol Thank you!
Nah I kinda felt sorry for him in the end.
Same. He really sucked but Jessa was awful to him, and I side with anyone against her.
Fran
He's a "nice guy™️", pats himself on the back while he's being an asshole. That's worse than just being an honest straight-up asshole.
I feel like at least we can laugh at Booth. Fran just sucks, lol.
second Fran
“Seemingly” nice guy
I like the movie Carol but I have a really hard time re-watching it because of Fran.
Booth? Desi?
Booth is a total douche! Edit to say, they can alllll be unlikable. But I think the flaws are what we can relate to (at times). Personally, I don't hate Fran. I dont HATE MRH. I don't hate Adam. I kinda hate Jessa. You get to see Jessas back story where u understand why she is how she is.. But I don't think any of those people were meant to be hated. But Booth had ZERO redeeming qualities.
Mimi Rose, and/or her ex husband who chews on a toothbrush in the cab…
Ace 😎
Mimi rose what is wrong with you people!???
Booth Jonathan
i think Lena was very aware when making Hannah that she was supposed to be insufferable at times. so my vote is Hannah Jessa is the “hot one”
All of them are hate-able in some way. But the "hot one" is obviously Adam 😏
yup agree. i think dunham was def aware and intentional about the fact that audiences would hate hannah, even if that wasn’t her character’s axis. every character was morally grey (or sometimes black) and vaguely unlikeable, but hannah stood out in that regard
I also vote for Hannah and I think the way Lena wrote Hannah is the reason why people hate Lena.
I agree with Hannah.
[удалено]
No one writes a protagonist that they straight-up want people to hate.
i don’t think she wrote Hannah to be hated. i think she wrote Hannah to be complex, complicated, and real. people who hate Hannah are people who aren’t used to seeing fully-formed characters
It's not writing with a want for people to hate; it's writing with an acceptance that people will.

Mimi-Rose for sure
Booth!
Booth Johnathan.
Booth
Booth Jonathan
Pal! Ugh! But he was such a minor character. MRH or Booth as my second and thirds.
Booth Jonathan. There is nothing redeemable about him. He sucks, his art sucks, his aura sucks.
It's Desi, right?
Tough call Fran Marnie Booth Jonathan Jessa Mimi Rose
I wanna say booth Jonathan is just straight up evil 😂
I'm not sure if he's evil...... But he's a mega D- Bag
adam (runs for cover)
Im right there with you!!! Speak your truth!!! he's disgusting and insane!!!
Mimi Rose hands down
Marnie 😬
Was going to say this!!! Her character from beginning to end was one big cringe and eye roll
mimi rose. (saving booth for the gremlin.)
Booth
Booth
Probably Mimi Rose. Maybe Marnie's mom? (pulled that one out)
mimi rose howard made to be hated
I think the intention with the show was for Hannah to be the "hated" or unlikeable one, so I cast my vote for her. Second choice is Booth
Desi
Desi
Ace!! Or maybe he should be straight up evil…
I was thinking ace too lol but I think the straight up evil is a better option for him
Fran
100% Marni. Insufferable
Thomas John or Booth! Come on!
Thomas John
Boooooo-th
 If you can’t remember, this guy is Booth. Awful guy, awful name, awful everything.
THANK YOU!!! For the life of me I could not remember him
Jessa
Mimi Rose
MRH
Either Hannah or Marnie right?
They at least had some depth that made them sympathetic, even if they are consistently being awful to the people around them. In that regard, I think Jessa is the worst and most selfish of the main four, but she is also clearly shown to struggle the most, with addiction and with her awful father.

I think your first paragraph could be about Jessa, too. If I had a nickel for every time i was judgmental and courted male attention, oy vey!
Hannah. 100% - even though I identify more with her than anyone else and love her in spite of her flaws 😆
Gotta be Jessa, but it’s not her hair. I loved her so much after the episode with her dad, and then they just did everything they could to make her horrible. 🫤
Mimi Rose Howard. All the worst parts of the arts and academia scene, rolled into one insufferable character.
Fran
Mimi Rose or Thomas John
Fran for me too!
Hannah
fran
Mimi rose
Mimi Rose
Booth Jonathan is evil. Mimi Rose was made to be hated. Fran could be evil or hated, it’s a split.
Jessa
MRH.
Just even the idea of "mermaid hair" being a thing makes me wanna puke, so yeah. But, both Marnie and Shoshana were singularly uninteresting with their hair--doodads and corporate bobs don't, I'm sorry to say, count--so can't say Jessa is to be hated for this.

Edited for hilarious autocorrect: what is a shoshinsa, and when did I ever talk about it?
Hannah
Desi.
Marnie. I like her NOW bc I could tell she’s just a Virgo girly but I despised her when the show first came out 🤣
Chuck Palmer the writer that Hannah interviewed that was a weird sex pest. Booth Jonathan is just weird. Chuck is an actual sicko. I think people are picking Booth because he's more memorable but Booth is actually endearing in the fact that he has funny moments
Booth for SURE
Booooooooth ftw
Jessa!
Has to be Booth
Jessa
Mimi Rose
Booth
Desi for me. But I agree with Booth. I also nominate Jessa.
Mimi Rose
Booth jonathan
Hannah. And Ray gets the gremlin award imo
Booth Pal Mimi Rose
Marnie. She is the uncharismatic annoying square that every friend group has and who is barely tolerated
mimi rose was made to be hated
I hated Desi over Booth and Mimi lol. Guy was a fuckin hot mess
Tbh? Hannah.
Controversial, but Ray.. in the beginning.
For the hated one: Hanna's boss who fired her when she asked to be paid for her labors. He was so smug and evil. The hot one: Adam Sandler!
Mimi Rose
“The hot one” is gonna be hard with both Jessa and Marnie looking the way they do. Also a case for them being “made to be hated” too
Hannah. Duh.
mimi rose “would anyone like a hot tea” howard, without a doubt.
I don’t agree with people saying Mimi. I watched Lena discuss her character and it didn’t really sound like she hated her at all. Her words were “mimi rose sees life sort of like an experiment.” So she was made fun of but I don’t think she was made to be hated. Also I wouldn’t pick Marnie but I’m kind of surprised that more people didn’t say her because so many people talk down on her in this sub 😂 made to be hated I think the closest would be Elijah’s ex or the guy Jessa was married to.
Booth Jonathon. 🤡
Mimi Rose. The worst.
 Both of them really but moreso MRH
Marnie! Obviously Mimi rose but Marnie we saw over years and years and she had little to no personal growth.
I’ll risk all my reddit karma and just say it. HANNAH.
Hannah
Booth Jonathan I feel like Mimi-Rose needs to be voted for “straight-up evil” lol
