Thoughts?

Got an article, or any point of reference? Haha...

I actually have one thought: Louis C.K. kind of sucks.

By the way...you like the word "can", dont'cha?

I just saw this on the news and made a thread. Sorry im not so good with the source stuff

**** him

I heard a couple of sports radio hosts say last week he would be next so it must've been a pretty well known thing. I really don't know anything about the guy.

Completely unsurprised.

Velvet, my thought is I love that you have Airi Suzuki making her happy eating face as your avatar! :)

Depressing, like all the rest of it, alleviated only by a general feeling of satisfaction that all of this stuff is being brought to light. Get it all out. The sooner it happens, the less likely it is to continue happening.

I'll make a prediction about this one: because the accusations don't appear to involve any physical contact, or exposing himself to anyone underage, I think there's a good chance he'll admit to this, publicly apologize, and go into "rehab" in an attempt to salvage his career.

my thoughts are that I love you! :kiss:

I’ll echo what was said in few other places; that I’m not surprised (his routine always had a confessional element to it), but am still disappointed. I guess i thought/hoped he was self-aware enough not to actually delve into the **** he joked about.

I held him in too high esteem. A mistake that’ll surely come back soon.

My fear is that the "me too" campaign could lead to a bandwagon of false copy cats who feel that making accusations is a great way to get revenge on a man when they aren't guilty of a crime, or just to ruin someone for whatever reason. It's a potential double edged sword.

We have a thread for that sort of thing!

Doh! Another one of my favorite comedians caught up in this. Very disappointing. Hopefully he'll be super honest about it rather then avoident or hostile like many others. Would fit his personality at least. But clearly he is now forever tainted. And Im getting pretty anxious who might be next... Please tell me Jim Gaffigan doesnt have any skeletons in his closet...

You can pretty much lay odds on it.

the fact that that's the first thing many people think of should tell you how these abusers got away with it for so long

In most cases where men got away with it, it was because no one spoke up. For serial abusers, one person speaking up was often enough to give others the courage to do the same.

It's still a double edged sword as there are well known cases where false allegations have been made for a variety of motives.

Such a case is that of Brian Banks (fortunately, his story had a happy ending, but only after having ten years of his life stolen from him - with 5 years in prison and 5 on probation as a registered sex offender - all over a completely false allegation).

Both my favorite Belgian comedian (Bart De Pauw) and my favorite comedian in the world (Louis C.K.) got exposed by the media today as sexual perverts.

There's still a significant difference between what these two did and what guys like Weinstein and Spacey did, in my opinion, but it's of course wrong to justify this kind of behavior by comparing it to much worse examples. It's a dirty trick caused by my bias.

I'm saddened, maddened and disappointed, but I hope these two will one day get another chance. Things will never be the same, though. It's been a very dark past few hours for me. My heart is broken. The laughter is gone.

Thoughts? Ehhh, I shouldn't have been surprised.

I suppose that makes 7? (Probably 9 If you include the two Corey Feldman named.)
