Meg wrote a thing about New Girl/Zooey D. backlash/the way we all act sometimes, and of course she nails it. I suggest urge demand you read the entire post,
Julia spends most of the episode being awful to Zooey Deschanel’s character, Jess. She says all the things that the Internet has said about Jess, about New Girl, about Zooey Deschanel the human person, Jess says, “Your whole thing! With the cupcakes, and the braking for birds, and the whole, ‘Bluebirds help me dress in the morning!’” WHAT A BITCH? Except in this episode Jess actually braked due to a bird. And served Julia a cupcake. Then Jess looks horribly wounded and says, “I didn’t realize I was doing a thing.” ZING? Because what if, Internet. What if no one is “doing” a “thing.” Does that make it better for you? Do you hate it less if it is just the way it is? UNPOSSIBLE, responds the Internet. LIES. Self-awareness is our generation’s trick and trade, you cannot be unaware! If you are doing something, it is a thing you are doing! ARRRRG
