That whistle joke is classic Louis CK type material, and relatively funny. If you want to take issue with the dude going back to work, fine and good, but let's not nitpick the content of comedic performances, down that path lies madness.

Yeah, I too agree that it's really asking a lot for someone who has committed sexual assault to maybe not make fun of sexual assault. In non-idiotic take news, Gerard Depardieu is accused of rape: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45360902

K. Waste posted:hosed Didn't that movie begin with Depardieu actually telling the audience out of character how much he despises the person his character is based on (which he doesn't name but is totally DSK)? Because that is some projection right there. Also, Depardieu is a Russian citizen now so good luck getting him extradited.

It is indeed his type of material, but if he had the slightest bit of self-awareness, he'd realize that the body of edgy subjects he can still work with doesn't include anything to do with sexual assault. He has obviously learned nothing.

Or I can just watch Pasolini again instead. Same year, much better film, doesn't star an alleged fat rapist as a confirmed fat rapist.

Let's see how his next appearance goes over. This one was a surprise, its hard to be the first one to boo or walk out. Now people have heard he's "back" (especially in the standup fan circuit) and will be ready whatever that means. I think his reception the next time will either seal the deal or the very opposite.

Detective No. 27 posted:Weaton is quitting social media. I wonder if he finally finished gathering his thoughts about Chris Hardwick????? You're underselling the fun of this story. He quietly left Twitter in the night because people kept asking him about that, went over to Mastodon where he tried creating a setup for "fun nerds", got mocked once, called it worse harassment than Gamergate and began going "MODS? MODS?!" to the owners. Who banned him because he was already some of the biggest drama on the site in a week's time.

I'm glad that people are continuing to call him out for the continued lack of a response to Dykstra's statement.quote:Throughout Wheaton’s essay decrying the online mobs of bad faith actors, there seems to be one glaring omission: Any mention of his friend Chris Hardwick. Following Chloe Dykstra’s public account of the abuse she endured in a relationship with an unnamed “nerd mogul” who was pretty clearly Hardwick, a lot of people expected an outspoken feminist like Wheaton to publicly condemn the actions of his friend. At the time, Wheaton said that he needed “some time to process what’s going on and put words to my thoughts.” Those words never materialized, and a couple months later he was off Twitter for good. https://apple.news/AKrR3tdDwTBaY1BsjNXUUIA

I think that’s why this is an appropriate place to discuss what’s going on with him. Whether you believe Hardwick is an abuser or not, Wheaton tried to play his response the way many would in a pre-metoo era; squint real hard at the horizon, and say you need to do some thinking about the whole situation. That can’t really fly anymore. A lack of acknowledgement is as good as a lack of accountability at best, and a form of gaslighting at worst. If Wheaton legit believed Hardwick was innocent, he should have said so instead of seeking out places where that question wouldn’t be asked of him. Alternatively, if he legit believed there was a chance that the allegations were true, he also should have said so. Silence doesn’t cut it anymore.

While we're on the subject of Hardwick, was the woman who helped blacklist Chloe ever definitively identified? I know there were names thrown out there, but I don't think I saw anything with any degree of confidence.

Wheaton's the kinda guy that gets extremely upset over "shut up wesley" so imo it's super suspect that he seemed to go radio silent over something that actually matters

I also found it a bit odd that Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon have been pretty silent on the whole Hardwick thing. Well I mean I guess that's just the easiest thing to do for anyone in that sphere. It's really incredible how many people are super into the most replaceable man in pop culture.
