The thing about Louis CK is, heās a fucked up guy and everyone knows this. Not excusing his behavior at all, but I believe his case is somewhat different. Still not good but different. I think one if the things that makes him such a great comedian is just how awkward he is, especially around women, and with there being few women in comedy, Iām sure those are what he views as opportunities to meet women as fucked up as that is.
Most great artists are fucked up as people in some way which is part of what makes them a great artist.
How can you do social commentary and criticize politics, when you whip out your dick and start masturbating in front of women whoāre desperate to land a fucking job?
Thereās nothing different here. Heās a fucking animal.
Heās just a hypocrite that canāt live up to his own standards.
Iād say the same thing about Bill Hicks or George Carlin if it turned out that they whip their dicks out because they can.
Only redeeming point about this situation is that he at least has the balls to publicly admit and apologize for what he did.
Have you ever actually heard any of his comedy before? I donāt see how his ability to do social commentary or criticize politics has anything to do with the fact that he likes to masturbate in front of people. I donāt get the masturbating in front of people thing but I donāt see it as anything that diminishes his ability to do his job as a comedian. Is it inappropriate? Sure, but it doesnāt make him less funny.
Should someone not be able to run for office if they really like anal?
Only in the sense that Art claims peopleās sexual preferences apparently affect their abilities to do their jobs.
Iāve got news for you, people in top positions get away with much much worse. I agree what he did is wrong and shouldnāt have happened, but letās not act like heās on some Weinstein level of bullshit either.
Considering Luis CKs comedy does almost nothing but bite at himself, I think him being guilty of this stuff makes the comedy better because now you know with 100% certainty that itās true. He makes social commentary but he also doesnāt say he meets that standard, in fact he tends to go out of his way to point out heās no where close to the standard he saterizing and that people, himself included and probably more so, are fucked up and do weird shit.
Iām legit amazed that people are like āWhaaaat C.K. is fucked up? This is so out of left field.ā Like really my dude? Do you watch/listen to any of his comedy? Like at all?
Dunno why this isnt posted here Raz0r was really cut up about it in discord.
John Travolta: Sexual battery case involving 21-year-old male masseur surfaces
So like, he got some dude to wash his ass, got turned on and hit on the dude. And the article also brings up how he is banned from a lotta places cause he likes to go to big country clubs and chase male ass in the shower rooms.
I think this is the operative phrase here. And while what these guys are doing is messed up, you can be sure there have been women receptive to those advances at some point which is probably why they kept doing it.
