Lena Dunham just issued a somewhat hollow apology for defending a Girlswriter accused of rape.
It's not the first time Dunham has apologised for a controversial statement after backlash, as many on Twitter have pointed out.
So, recognising a theme, two Australians have made a Twitter bot that can generate satiristic Dunham apologies.

Dunham hasn't had the best week. Lenny Letter, her literary newsletter with co-producer Jenni Konner, saw the public resignation of author Zinzi Clemmons, who cited her personal experience with the "well-known racism" within Dunham's circle.

There'll probably be an apology of some sort.
