If that’s your takeaway, it is what it is. Best of luck to ya.

No, mocking murdered children isn’t cool. I’m not sure who was arguing it WAS cool.

If you genuinely think that I was arguing that it’s justified or okay for people to call victims liars because Louis CK’s essay was criticized, then I’m sorry I didn’t state my point well enough.

Yes, I know from the tone of your comments that you’re not engaging to have a discussion so much as to toss off a fun little bon mot here and there, but I’ve written repeatedly that the letter was an unfairly criticized good start and post-comeback there was a shift away from that incisive self-reflection and remorse.

Some of the very best comedians often make jokes about terrible things.

I totally agree with you. This isn’t meant as an attempt to excuse him in any way, but I’ve always wondered if some of that was “Well, I tried doing the self-reflection thing, and you all said fuck me, so I’m going to play to the cheap seats who say I did nothing wrong.” I remember the credits including a list of…

I think part of the reason why his “comeback” material was so aggressive was because his open letter, which was more reflective and remorseful than any other response from a man accused of misconduct, was basically dismissed out of hand. I think his letter was earnest, but when the response was “fuck you, not good…

I often work with people who are getting out of prison and I help them find work and get on with their lives. I don’t know what more people want from those who victimize others besides: recognize the bad behavior, make amends (and/or just sincerely apologize) to those hurt, and, most importantly, not repeat the…

I’m not a sexual assault apologist, [I spent four minutes looking for a gif of Rachel Dratch yelling “I’m huuuuumannnnn!!!!” and couldn’t find it :( ]

How dare you bring thoughtfulness to an internet forum!

This letter seems far more thoughtful and self-reflective than what any other perpetrator has provided. So why can’t it stand as his final comments on the thing? Are you suggesting he needs to incorporate some kind of apology into all future performances? That would soon become rote and hollow. Like those “land…

“But as in the essay he published when his misconduct was brought to light back in 2017, C.K. doesn’t seem interested in atoning for his actions.”

Just imagine if the genders were reversed here and how it would look if people were this skeptical of a woman complaining about being assaulted physically and verbally.

Maybe this is a generational divide, but I assumed “written it down immediately” meant the Notes app on his phone. Because no, people don’t usually bring a pen and paper into a Portapotty these days.

Actually I totally buy that. Who is going to go see Part 2 if they haven’t seen Part 1? I always thought the release date of the second was way to close to Part 1 when they announced the dates. Even the Matrix 2 & 3, enormous blockbusters many people saw, were 5 months apart.  You have to give your audience time to…

I’m a fat woman. No woman of any size would be flattered by that dress. It looks like she arranged a small tablecloth around her neck. And frankly the fabric on the dress itself is bad, with those odd diagonal pleats (I’m pretty sure they’re pleats).

I don’t care that she’s plus-sized, I’m fat and my husband’s fat and there are a ton of gorgeous fat people who dress great.

Yeah, when will men put away childish, frivolous pursuits like video games and pursue more mature, dignified hobbies like dressing like absolute dogshit? 

Holy SHIT that got me. Well done.

Hey, *you’re* the one that took the name of that dress pattern for your avatar name, pal...
