Would you support the uncancelation of Louis CK?


As in his back to getting the same amount of gigs, Netflix specials, acting roles, etc. as he was before cancelation?

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.

As for Netflix and television that's up to them.

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.

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.

Yeah I thought it was great.

None of the women I know even really are bothered by what he did. They just see it as a super awkward, goofy guy not knowing how to approach women romantically. (I.e. not knowing how to make a move.)

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

He asked.

They said yes.

I thought if both parties say yes then it's ok?

I never understood the problem.

Louie is free to do shows

A lot of the cancelled comedians are just cancelling themselves

No one is telling chris delia he cant record a podcast each week and release it on his own

Nice way of downplaying how much of a creep he was.

He was already back on tour before COVID stuff stopped live shows. Once comedy gets back to normal he's going to have no trouble getting Netflix specials or whatever.

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.

Interesting, I always thought that wink was Louis slyly admitting that he was letting us into how his mind really works. 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.

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.
