Yeah, yours sucked!

I’ll give I think you guys just can’t bear to see men held responsible for the consequences of their actions.
Yes, by all means it is sexist not to consider the “sexual harassment is good and women welcome it actually” lobby.
I hadn’t heard of any cases where he didn’t have consent. But I do agree the power structure and professional environment complicate things (and that’s probably putting it mildly).
You may find it noteworthy that I’ve had women view Louis CK’s actions in less harsh terms than I did (including my wife). It’s also arguably sexist that you’re viewing there one way to be appropriate with women. I say that because one of the women I talked to about this who viewed CK as not being the bad guy you are…
That’s a pretty fair stance.
I wonder if the reason so many of us are so hung up on the forgiveness angle is a cultural/religious thing. For me I’m pretty sure it is at least partially that. I was raised as a Christian, so from an early age life was this mix of being in a constant worry about messing up (and the whole sin thing where you might…
Did you just compare rich predatorial comedians getting less work to Sharia law?
So you’ve gotta ask yourself: where’s the nuance? Where’s the line? Do we forgive, and if not, why not? How much punishment is ok? Is permanent ostricization the go-to punishment for all offenses regarding a penis? Beheading? Does Louis CK have to be punished for all the “jerk offs” who came before (pun intended)?
He did have their consent.
When you put it that way...yeah, you have a point.
[Insert knife pun here]
That would be an interesting one, but I’d prefer that a little later in the Captain Marvel series. Also, how long would/was Captain Marvel out of commission after Rogue stole her powers? I only have the X-Men animated series for a frame of reference, and my impression was Carol ended up in a coma for a pretty long…
Lindsay stabbed Paul with a knife.
The “8th” season came out in 2011 as a sort of revival. No one cared
I guess it’s just shaping up to be that kind of year. Expect the unexpected!
Yeah, I went from pretty excited about this to sort of speechless at the chorus. Chuck D’s still bringing it, but I feel like the chorus is intentionally disjointed and blunt in a way that doesn’t work. That might be with a purpose (I sort of doubt it, but still), but doesn’t work for me at all.
I think you and mikefoo both hit parts of it. I think mikefoo’s right that this is an example of Rick’s arrested development and refusing to make a choice.
That said...I think this let him give Beth both options. And I think that also reflects on his own internal conflicts. For whatever reason, Rick was an absentee…
I had a markedly different and more positive reaction to this episode. We’ve seen Rick isn’t always right and yet I don’t think making the Beth clone really made him a shittier person.
First, the Beth clone. I think the only shitty part about that was how it was an opportunity to tell Beth to stay and that she meant…
I can certainly appreciate the struggle.
My rationale is that looking back, when I saw this list existed “Tales of Ba Sing Se” was the very first thing that popped into mind.
That said, I’m just happy to see this show get more exposure and to have a bit of nostalgia in getting to watch it again. Narrowing it down to ten…
Yeah, I never thought of him as being a doofus so much as just a well-meaning but otherwise forgettable member of Gotham’s rich and famous. He never seemed dumb to me so much as kind-yet-milquetoast.
That said I’ll have to rewatch it with my kids (or hell, by myself) to see if my impression’s changed over the years. I…
