Yeah. I'd say that he already faced more than enough for jacking off in front of women and not realizing that they'd somehow feel pressured into saying yes when he asked. Creepy douche behavior sure, but whatever. People were acting like he physically assaulted them.

I'd still go see him perform. He didn't do anything criminal.

He was unfortunate to be in the time when everyone was instantly Harvey Weinstein. He seemed like he just had a weird fetish that he didn't realize was putting people in the position it was. He earned points for me by not doing a bullshit press run too. He kind of just left it for people to make up their own minds without trying to manipulate them.

No one should be to forced to give him gigs or air his specials if they don't want to. "Cancel culture" is arbitrary at best. So if they don't want to book him they don't have to.

He can definitely still book gigs and sell them out in minutes, lol. Covid aside of course. As for Netflix and television deals, I agree, that's up to them. But the people who were protesting outside his shows like a year ago were assholes. If you don't want to go see him then don't go see him. There's no reason to harass the people who do. --- "People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time" -Detective Rust Cohle ... Copied to Clipboard!

He still performs at smaller venues, or he did pre Covid.
I dont think hell go back to the bigger venues anytime soon though. The regular masses (which are made up of middle aged or older couples) arent gonna go due to perception. Thats how it is. --- Fervent appearing ... Copied to Clipboard!

They just see it as a super awkward, goofy guy not knowing how to approach women romantically.

No, but I didnt always think that way
imo, the things he did absolutely ruin his comedy. His whole shtick was being self-aware of the horrible things men do and delivering those jokes with a wink if he had taken some time off, come back with bits that actually address it in the self-aware way that he was known for, I think he couldve redeemed himself instead, he came back with bits basically just being angry that he lost out on money, without actually addressing what he did i dont think even his old bits work anymore, knowing his persona was all bullshit --- The words of The Golden Eel have been revealed...

It's interesting how Louis C.K. got so much flack, while Aziz Ansari pretty much had hordes of people defending him. Meanwhile Aziz Ansari was deliberately pressuring women into sex, while Louis C.K. simply asked and didn't realize his celebrity status was coercive.

It seemed inevitable that hed be revealed as some kind of pervert or weirdo, so his comedy feels even more authentic now. Of course he would expose himself to women who were uncomfortable with it. He has bits where hed talk about or even simulate whipping his dick out and doing something aggressive with it. --- ... ... Copied to Clipboard!

No. What got him in hot water wasn't the worst thing ever but handling the backlash like a fucking crybaby bitch just killed any respect I had for him or desire to see him perform.
