I just came in here to say this. The girl's names, Bobby's story, the black and white clips, the screaming cartoon, the baseball bat, the taxi driver - this episode had it all. This is C.K. at the top of his game, and I'm loving it.

Almost certainly. I'm just kind of pretending it doesn't exist for now so I can watch the last two episodes of the season. Then I'll deal with Louie being a shithead. :smith:

I'm pretty sure it's just one of those things that people want to believe because they get a boner from hating people who do a thing that they consider morally justifiable to hate. People just really like hating things and take any chance they can to latch onto anything that gives them an excuse.

It's plausible, but plausibility doesn't have much to do with probability.

The only claim that doesn't have a 'from a friend' middleman is the original female comedians' story which never named the creep in question, unless I've missed one of the other comments that actually claims to have interacted with him. Everything else is not only hearsay, but mostly anonymous internet hearsay.

But apparently he has a creepy reputation, so maybe where there's smoke there's fire. There's no real evidence on either side. I'm not going to staunchly defend Louis and say these allegations are patently absurd but at the same time I don't think it's very reasonable to go ahead and label him as a sexual assaulter.

If you're going to say poo poo about someone, say it publicly. Trashing a guy's reputation by spreading gossip about him is some low class, scummy behavior and whichever female comedians are doing it should be loving ashamed of themselves.

I'm still going to watch the last two episodes of the season regardless of what some Gawker thinkpiece (which I'm not going to read, because it's Gawker) says about his misconduct.

Louis C.K definitely writes the show from the traditional male viewpoint that someone can fix broken/hurt/upset ladies with their dick. People having that mindset is not usually a good sign.

Please point me to a thinkpiece that explains this topic further so I can quote it and say "I'm not reading this pseudo-intellectual bullshit."

The entire point of a TV show, movie, song, or other medium of entertainment is to entertain. If someone is wasting their energy writing a thousand angry words on a topic that, in the grand scheme of things, doesn't matter at all (especially when you measure it up against the world's myriad actual problems), then they're not worth listening to. It's OK to do this when there's actual objectionable content within the medium or within the creator's thought process, but more often than not, it's about imprinting your values on something that isn't there.

Edit: This explains it better than I can. Yeah, it's on a Gawker website, but Drew Magary isn't the average Gawker writer. However, please ignore the link to Jezebel article about how the new Mad Max movie is "so feminist my scrotum killed itself," that's exactly the kind of phenomenon we need less of on the internet.

And in all fairness, Louis C.K. looks just like the kind of person who would do what he did. But I'm still watching the last two episodes of the season regardless.

Even if he was ejaculating onto the shoes of at least one person every time he rides a subway, his show would still be funny. Why are people connecting these things?

Edit - I wrote rights instead of rides.

I find it hard if not impossible to believe that Louis CK is some kind of ultra-influential monster to the point that other comedians would be afraid to tell the world he whips his dick out at people.

I mean if Bill Cosby can't keep a lid on it forever, I would think Louis would be destroyed about a week after it (allegedly) happened, you know?

To be fair, Bill Cosby still hasn't faced any real punishment and hasn't even bothered to legitimately respond to any of the accusations against him. Even if there's a general consensus that you're a serial rapist you can completely get away with it if you're famous enough and have enough money for a good legal team.

As long as this is the case, the monstrous sexual predator that is Louis CK will never be stopped.
