Honestly if Louis's comedy changed to appease the people who probably never want to hear from again, then he would die. He has to lean in to his comedy. He's not a better person because he got in trouble, and pretending like he was a better person would come off as insincere. All that would change, is people like me, who thought he was funny, would call him a desperate sell-out. And since we're the people that actually buy his tickets, that's for the best.

Imagine being in great shape and complaining that people who aren't in great shape don't exactly realize why.

They almost always know why. They just would rather believe that attaining a good figure is unattainable magic because it's easier to believe in magical genetic advantages than it is to believe the truth- which is they are lazy and incapable of moderation at the cost of their own health.. but whatever.

I don't know about metabolism. But I DO know that my eating habits in public look similar to everyone else's. The only thing that people don't realize is that I exercise (sort of) and I don't eat very much when i'm not in public.

So to everyone you have a dude that exercises maybe 3 times a week, and will gobble down chipotle or w/e nonsense can be acquired at downtown chicago. But remains thin. They don't know that I don't eat at home (because I'm not hungry). So it looks like I eat as much as everyone else and stay thin.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was mostly unconcerned with being polite.

However, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt since he apologized after the woman kicked over merchandise and threatened him with violence. I believe deescalation is an important part of customer service, and in that regard if the employee was fired, w/e, learn from your mistakes. On the other hand, as an individual who has worked in customer service/retail, people think they can talk to you however they want, and I don't make the habit of trying to be polite to people who are pissing me off.

There is no indication that I can see that the person was intentionally trying to antagonize her, and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt due to his several apologies. Furthermore, I have no sympathy for people who threaten to beat up customer service employees, regardless of who they are. And I called him a grown man because he said "Let's take this outside and i'll show you sir".

Beto lost to Ted Cruz, anf Bernie lost to Hillary Clinton, both of whom got trounced by Trump. I love Bernie, but theyre both colossal losers in the political realm.

Just looking at his name it seems like a month ago he announced that he was launching another tour in the early part of next year, and still has been running smaller shows recently. And the tour next year is all major venues and major cities. And Netflix said they're willing to go ahead when he's ready for another season of Master of None, it was Aziz's decision to put the show on hold.

So I mean, it doesn't seem like his career is ruined at all

That's great. But you are aware that his "comeback" tour is a complete and utter result of the fact that he laid low for an extensive period of time for the outrage to die down. Yes, it was his decision, and it most certainly was a wise one.

But it would be disingenuous to pretend like his career did not take a hit, people weren't calling for him to not be renewed by Netflix, or he was not affected significantly by any of this. I suppose I should take partial blame for setting this up as an all or nothing game. I picked Aziz in particular because he's one of the few people involved in MeToo where the consensus was split rather than mostly against him.

But the fact, and my point, is that his career wasn't ruined by "the SJW's". He did, as you said, take the smart move and does what any reasonable person would do when they are in the middle of a controversy, and that's let the situation die down and continue on as normal. You could argue that his reputation took a hit from it, but until we see the long term impact on what it will do to him we can't say definitively.

And the fact is they'll always be a vocal subset of people online who will take the extreme stances on issues to, in most cases, incite a reaction. Social media is loaded with people trying to get others to pay attention to them, and the easiest way to get that is by being the loudest voice in the room. My whole point was that these people are the vast minority and that they don't actually have the power that people prop them up as having. And generally, when there's controversy regarding a celebrity or a subject, those associated with that controversy tend to distance themselves from that thing until the smoke dies down. That's not something that just arrived with "SJW's" or social media in general, it's the whole entire concept of Public Relations departments.

Fair enough.

Bernie and Beto aren't even similar.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/20/beto-orourke-congressional-votes-analysis-capital-and-main

However, a new analysis of congressional votes from the non-profit news organisation Capital & Main shows that even as ORourke represented one of the most solidly Democratic congressional districts in the United States, he has frequently voted against the majority of House Democrats in support of Republican bills and Trump administration priorities.

Capital & Main reviewed the 167 votes ORourke has cast in the House in opposition to the majority of his own party during his six-year tenure in Congress. Many of those votes were not progressive dissents alongside other left-leaning lawmakers, but instead votes to help pass Republican-sponsored legislation.

If Beto wasn't as charasmatic as he is, people wouldn't even like him. It's so strange how certain demographics always get away with this.

Consensus was split because there was a conversation that needed to be had. The sheer amount of men coming out pretending like pressuring women into sex is just part of the game should have made that clear.

I'm not sure I remember it the same. I thought it was more "That's shitty, but he didn't do anything that would qualify as coercion". So the question of course was did he break any real rules, and it wasn't just men who said "no". Then there were people who said purely by virtue of being a famous man, the answer is "yes". So some people considered it sexual assault, and some people thought it was shitty behavior. I suppose there was also a subsection that said it was perfectly normal and good, but I don't really think that's why there was push back.

I'm still waiting to hear who's career or life got ruined by the "evil ESS JAY DUBS". Surely if this was as big of an issue that people think it is there'd be a decent list of people out there already instead of pretending guys like Kevin Harts life is ruined because he's not hosting an award show.

What's Aziz been up to?

Now you could argue "He'll climb out of the rut", and maybe you're right, maybe he will. But there are a great deal of people who don't want him to. That's my general point. The intent to destroy is there.

It's like working customer service, except everyone, even people who aren't customers can be your customers, and if enough of them say something, you'll get fired. On the other side, this happened to Kathy Griffin and Louis C.K.

Also, because it's all subjective and relies on feelings and people's memories, someone like Mel Gibson gets to come back.

But that's my point. I'm not saying they're a threat to society, but on an individual level? It probably sucks seeing the walls around you close for something that to be completely honest, is none of their business.
