It’s like back when Lindy West use to write for Jezebel. She wrote an article called, “How to Tell a Rape Joke.” She included a few videos of comedians telling rape jokes she approved of because none of them identified with the rapist or made fun of the victim. She did however, include a joke by Louie C.K. that went

He also defended that scene and said it was not assault . He said it was not rape-ey and it was just a tussle. He is an asshole who thinks it okay to use the n-word and f-word, on his reddit ama he was using the n-word a lot.

Everything else basically sounded like it was Louie for sure, then that one detail broke it. I mean, who, aside from CK, qualifies as a “French filmmaker,” though?

I’m a little confused. By “c-word” are you referring to the word “cunt” and if so, since when is “cunt” as offensive as the n-word?

I think Tina Fey’s advice to women in the workplace from Bossypants is telling. She basically advises us to do our work, ignore jerks/racists/sexist people, etc., and change the culture once we get into power. Her theory (and probably that of a lot of powerful women) is that women have more to gain from protecting and

I think it’s these hipster types that find him funny, because they’re too cool to realize, he’s just a pretend liberal, mysoginistic asshole.

I love the show Louie, but watching it only makes me believe these stories about C.K. are true. Like, his preoccupation with “fun loving” younger women, but gross, cynical older women. Basically the show is about him being obsessed with getting women to like him.

Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one who thinks Louis CK is overhyped. My best friend (white mid-20s middle-class hipster guy) thinks he’s a GOD and can’t understand why I don’t enjoy him. He also doesn’t get why Fred Armisen gives me the squicks and why I think he should expand his entertainment consumption

I know he and Amy are friends, but I would think if she or Tina had any solid proof that this is happening, that friendship would end immediately. I want to believe that Amy Poehler wouldn’t take shit off of anyone. I have only read a couple stories here on this site. Has anyone come out and said “Louis CK grabbed me

:-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

Kirkman’s been doing comedy for at least a decade; her first album came out in 2006.

Also, Louis CK is at the height of his popularity and power; Cosby was a star from decades ago. It would be as if these women started coming out while The Cosby Show was at the height of its popularity.

I don’t know if it’s Pervo Fatigue, Cusp-Xer cynicism, or knee jerk reactionism, but this doesn’t really surprise me. I like Louie’s comedy, have seen him live, and didn’t dislike his show, but the second season of his show I quit watching because it started rubbing me wrong. Couldn’t tell you why. I can totally see

Of course you do. Jezebel readers like all people have the same problem they judge women way more harshly than any man. If there was a rumor of some famous woman acting way less disgusting then Louis, lets just say that the rumor is that she is slightly annoying every other word would be I knew it all along that she

woah there’s a lot of implications there i dont particularly care for

YOUR DICK IS PROBLEMATIC

Yeah, I don’t get it either. Amy Poehler gushes about him in her book, is clearly friends with him, and she seems to be a good person... Why not tell it like it is? What stake does she have in this? Maybe it’s a case of “he’s never treated me like that, so it’s fine by me”. Anyway, if it’s true, gross.

I know. I really, really don’t want it to be true. He always seem like such a self-aware dude who respects women. But, as I always say, people thought Ted Bundy was a standup dude before he got caught too so you never know. (And no, I’m not saying the heinous acts of Ted Bundy are on the same level as the Louis CK

I love that this is a dirt bag full of gross people being called out for their bullshit. I really hope Kirkman doesn’t face the kind of backlash she fears. And I really, really hope that it was March herself who arranged the banner. She’s such a badass and a strong proponent of reproductive rights.

I haaaaate hearing/knowing this about Louis CK. If true (and I pretty much believe it is), this makes him such a hypocrite... If Greg Proops turns out to be a creep, I'm done.
