RIP Louis CK. You’re funny, but you can’t be trapping people like animals and jerking off in front of them.

There’s sexual deviancy between consenting adults, and there’s sexual assault allegedly perpetrated by one of the most famous comedians in the world against relatively unknown comedians and actors.

And another one bites the dust. It shocks and saddens me to hear about all of these people that were getting away with this shit for years and years, while many of us were big fans.

But now is better than never, I guess?

For years people told me Louis CK was funny and I never got it. Outside of a few jokes he’s just fuckin weird. One time he made some “joke” about seeing his young daughter naked spread eagle and I literally told my friend “Who the fuck thinks this is funny or something to talk about? This dude sounds creepy and perverted”. Guess I was onto something.

I have two experiences with Louis C.K.

My first experience with Louis C.K. was when my wife and I tried watching one of his comedy specials on Netflix, and about 15 minutes in, she got frustrated with how negative he was about everything, and we stopped it and watched some other comedy special.

My second experience with Louis C.K. was when my wife, apparently forgetting the first experience with Louis C.K., suggested we watch one of his comedy specials. I didn’t have the heart to remind her of her reaction the first time. About 15 minutes in, she got frustrated with how negative he was about everything, and we stopped it and watched some other comedy special.

I know quite a few people that have met Charlie Sheen - Lucas was filmed right near me, the summer after I graduated high school, and many of my classmates were extras in the film.

The *only* part that surprises me there was that the victim was male.

The second time we gave up after an extended bit that revolved around him suggesting suicide multiple times. The first time I don’t remember the content, but I also don’t remember being disappointed on missing out on whatever might’ve been in the rest of the special. Not my brand of comedy.

I figured there’d be some predators in Hollywood, but holyshit the depth and breadth of this depravity is sickening. At this point it’s easier to ask, who hasn’t routinely sexually assaulted someone?

Well it doesn’t outright say they said NO. Doesn’t make what he was doing any less.... gross.

I think its sad all these people in the limelight are getting called out for being abusive and sexually assaultive, but it happens to pretty much everyone, everyday.

Everyone, everywhere, at some time has said or done something that if they were a coach, an actor, a director, a producer, a musician.... or a comedian that they’d be in the news and out of a job.

I hope more see it that way. I don’t. Just because you can act, tell jokes, or have a ton of money doesn’t make you anyone people should look up to. You’re just another person on this world, more or less fucked up than the rest of us.

In fact, THEY are the ones who should hold themselves to a higher standard of acting, knowing how easy it is for thier fucked up past and current actions to be publicized.

“Well it doesn’t outright say they said NO.”

That’s not how assault works, sexual or otherwise. If I punch you in the face, it’s still assault even if you weren’t given the chance to object.

“Everyone, everywhere, at some time has said or done something that if they were a coach, an actor, a director, a producer, a musician.... or a comedian that they’d be in the news and out of a job.”

No. Not everyone has done something sexually unwanted towards a woman.

You could duck?

I never said everyone has done something sexual toward a woman, don’t put text in my fingertips.

I said everyone has done something bad that could get them fired.

11/09/2017 at 17:39, STARS: 0

And if you duck you’re caught with a knee. The inability to avoid assault doesn’t negate the assault. And consent doesn’t mean you didn’t say no. It means you said yes.

I’m sorry, I thought this whole thread was about Louis CK sexually assaulting someone and figured that’s what you were referring to with your “whom among us” argument.

Kinja'd!!! "Takuro Spirit" (takurospirit)
11/09/2017 at 17:42, STARS: 0

I’m not arguing what’s assault and what’s not. I’m just trying to say everyone does fucked up things and its stupid that only those who are ‘newsworthy’ get publically punished for it, because the victims can more easily(?) come forward.... your average Joe or Jane cannot.

11/09/2017 at 19:22, STARS: 0

Yeah, it’s always easier to accuse rich and powerful people of sexual abuse. That’s why guys like Weinstein and Spacey were caught so quickly and definitely didn’t abuse dozens of people over a few decades...

The Catholic Church too. They were so high profile that preists definitely weren’t abusing kids for centuries...

Your average Joe doesn’t get fired for this stuff because your average manager is a shithead and doesn’t care.

But you seemed pretty hung up on whether she said “no” or not. As if you have to opt out of someone masturbating in front of you. That’s what I was referring to.

Your assertion that it is easier for people to come out against celebrities and people of power is totally false. Just look at Roy Moore it took those victims 38 years. Powerful people just appear to have more to lose because it’s more visible. That doesn’t make it easier it makes it harder. People come out against nobodies all the time but when someone has the resources to ruin your life one way or another it’s a bit more difficult.
