And shot by one of their own. Also a thing they keep ignoring until it’ll be impossible to hide anymore. The Vegas shooter was one of their own, too. Weird. It seems like their culture of violence breeds violence. What was it that Malcolm X said when JFK was assassinated? Oh yeah, the chickens have come home to roost.

I also agree with commenters that even if I bought into Jon’s attempts at discourse here, doing it by giving airtime to a serial sexual harasser is not the way.

CK crafted the consent trap and he admitted he did it. Your refusal to see that is bizarre considering his own words in the letter and his standup when he came back into the public eye. You’re acting like you know exactly what’s in his mind and rejecting his own statements. Are you Louis CK?

My statements don’t contradict each other because that’s not what “being held to a higher standard” means, lol. “Being held to a higher standard,” means someone is being judged harshly for less severe behavior compared to other people. And that doesn’t matter, because we aren’t talking about comparing the bad things…

It’s great that you defend him but also call him a pussy.

First of all, I’m glad you’re mad. You can call me what you want, I don’t care. To quote Louis CK from one of his standup specials, “you can’t even hurt my feelings.”

He admits he didn’t get consent based on the context. Those are his own words. You say he did because you are refusing to understand that consent is a social contract heavily based on context. Power dynamics are real. It plays a role in sexual harassment lawsuits all the time. Including when women harass men. You do…

Did you know you can read his own statement on the subject of consent, where he admits he really didn’t get consent from the women he assaulted, instead of mindlessly defending him? These adult conversations really must feel like gender studies horseshit to a willfully obtuse potato, such as yourself.

Sorry, but that’s not how it works. Humans are too messy to definitively state something like that based on the evidence available.

I keep reading comments to this effect and I am trying to articulate what frustrates me about them. Everyone has their own personal opinions about his actions, the letter, and what happened next. For some people, the letter was never enough*. For others, it was. And for many commenting here, the letter was a good…

I already starred you, but this was very well said.

Have you seen the film High Fidelity? It’s a classic and still holds up. If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it.

A well-written cartoon grabs its target audience but also makes it pleasant for the adults to watch, too. I hear Bluey is very popular. And yes, I watched a lot of R&S and probably still would if I had Nickelodeon.

You’ve convinced yourself that a) an overwhelming majority of commenters here aren’t men. b) that they always believe the accuser if she is a woman.

There it is. What a sad, angry little turd you are.

Since most of the people who post here are men, I’m not sure I get your point. Are you mad at men for questioning the story the plaintiff told? You’re in luck! Plenty of them question women who speak up as well.

As a frequent AV Club commenter I’m disappointed you didn’t get the R&M joke.

That’s a you thing, everyone who I know who has watched it has not been bored. If you can’t see how the basic premise raises loads of interesting existential questions, that’s on you. Just because you don’t ‘get’ a piece of entertainment doesn’t mean it isn’t deserving of the time spent on it, just that it’s not for…

It’s all about dragging shit on to push the streaming numbers up, regardless of how engaging it is for the audience.

Nah, it’s plenty good for a 2 or 3 season show. I can’t see how you can pare it down to a 2 hour movie and still have the ending hit nearly the same.
