I watched his 2021 Sorry special. Didn't find it all that funny, maybe one chuckle. His older material was more relatable I think

In his Sincerely standup special he talks about how "oh I guess people require consent before you do something to them or at them" like it's a new concept, framed as a joke.

Can't remember if I saw Sincerely or heard the CD, but it was one of those. It wasn't too shabby, though I don't know if it was worth an Emmy.

I watched the clip where he talked about it. I do respect that he was the only person from MeToo who outright said it was all true without making an excuse, but I'm still not comfortable watching or listening to him.

One of the things I noticed is his crowd sounds like a Married With Children audience any time he referenced it. Even if he's still funny, it's clear his current audience is predominantly the "anti-cancel culture" crowd, and I just can't fuck with that group.

Aziz talked about what he was accused of and had an actual apology. I still don't get why he was caught up in that shit. He simply had a bad date. Hell, it kinda changed his career trajectory completely, much more than CK. And it's a shame.

and the when he returned less than a year after saying he would go away for a long time to listen, he lied about what he did and blamed his victims and everyone ate it up

its amazing how well he gaslit

idk, shitting on school shooting victims was a pretty low moment. I mean we shit on MTG for following around Stoneman Douglas kids trolling them before she even got into Congress, and yet here we are handwaving CK doing basically the same thing.

If you don't like his content for what it is that's perfectly fine.

Marilyn manson I belive is a nazi sympathizer considering he allegedly collects nazi memorabilia but he doesn't sing about nazis. So I still like some of his music.

I mean he's also a rapist according to many of his exes. But focus on the nazi shit I guess.

Replace "political affiliations" with "bigotry" and see if that changes your outlook.

If yes, then the next step is to examine the current Republican Party. After that, you'll have answered your question. In no, then the next step is to do some soul searching.

Yeah I've heard about that but haven't delved into it enough to have an opinion on it. But I went with nazi cause I was talking about political opinions.

And with thr nazi shit I only read a interview where a former band member was suing him and trash talking him. Manson never denied or confirmed thr nazi stuff so I took that as admission. Only part he responded to was the accusation he owns a mummified girl. And he said I'd never do that.....it's a boy

This one still kinda bothers me, because I really enjoyed where Aziz' career was heading, and that incident basically derailed to to the point where his career was almost reset, and now he's just a "regular" stand up that hits the clubs but will (most likely) never get his own show or anything again.

And (assuming you believe his version of the events) it was all from, like you said, a bad date where he misread some signals.

Think he had a movie in the works until Bill Murray got it shut down because Murray was being a perv to someone on set.

Just a string of bad luck.

Just a reminder of some of what Louis CK did

pressured an intern to watch him masturbate in his office as the executive producer of a tv show

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/1e912d63.jpg

harass a co-worker over the phone

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/33e8fa04.jpg

proposition a fellow actor on the set of a tv show

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/ad559d89.jpg

have his manager threaten women who talked about it

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/34e283cf.jpg

it was not just consensual and he is not a victim because now everyone knows his thing

also if you were a fan of Louis CK you probably had heard the allegations against him that he vehemently denied for years until the NYT expose came out and he finally confessed

thats another narrative he successfully spun. At least he owned up to it. Yeah after years of using his power to try and quash the story and threatening the careers of women who would talk

gawker first started reporting on his misconduct in 2012

First I heard was from Roseanne of all people whenever that first Secret Life of Pets came out. She basically said word for word what these women were saying, and said it was a pretty open secret, similar to the Cosby and Weinstein shit. Which honestly makes me sour on the comedy community.

As for Louie, that show was an easy 10/10, among the GOAT's. Lucky Louis was not even close to on par. Great cast, but the show was pretty mid.

nah that was the gaslighting i was talking about

are you talking about the special where he claimed the only problem with what he did was power dynamics? or the one where he claimed what he did was consensual?

he did an excellent job spinning the reality of his actions so people like you still defend him
