There were a decade’s worth of rumours that you chose to ignore. Outlets that reported on those rumours did not get to the bottom of the matter. The NYT did, and even then, one of the women does not want to be named. I guess that means you don’t believe her, but believe the other four? If you think Katie’s reporting

Yes it’s definitely just a total coincidence that Louis CK has been accused of the exact thing the rumors said he was doing!!!!

Jen Kirkman never once said she wasn’t talking about CK. She just said he never masturbated in front of her, which is probably true, because she never accused anyone of masturbating in front of her.

If the rumors had not existed, would anyone have dug into it to find out the truth? The entire impetus for the NYT article is “There’s a lot of smoke here, let’s go find the fire.”

Yes, she attempted to expose a predator who has now been exposed. How dare she?

“So we’re supposed to believe everything anybody says, idiot?”

Well, you blinded believed Louis when he denied it, so I guess it’s not “anybody”... 

“THESE ALLEGATIONS WERE NOT MADE IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY PUBLIC AND HAVE A SLIVER OF LEEWAY FOR ME TO IGNORE AND SO IGNORE I WILL.”

Agreed. I was wrong as well. I didn’t believe the rumors/allegations because I didn’t see actual accusers. But I was wrong and he deserves whatever he has coming to him for this scummy behavior.

Amazing to watch the people who tried to quash concerns about a sexual predator act like they have the moral high ground.

No, it’s like seeing a pool of blood five feet away from a severed hand and insisting that everyone shrug it off.

not to mention all the people who shit on Gawker when they reported this for having the audacity to take Katie Rife’s word for it.

Spent an unfruitful hour re-reading Katie’s previous stories and the comments underneath them. Each story now reads like a small mortality play from some year between 5000 BC - 2016 AD. There will always be men who, even when presented with video evidence of abuse, would rather blind themselves that confirm the truth

Thank you. The fucking comments on the Louis CK story have been awful for so long because of those people.

They also owe Tig Notaro an apology for calling her “ungrateful” and shit for daring to speak out about this.

So, all the bros who spent the last few months screaming at Katie Rife for daring to talk about this and INSISTING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT until some accusers came forward and until then this was just a plot by mean ol’ Jezebel and AV Club to smear poor Louie...

This is something I think about a lot so I’m going to write a bit more than the usual reply. The reality is that there’s never been a review I haven’t enjoyed even if time can sometimes be tight. That includes games I’m more negative on like Yooka-Laylee. The process is always interesting even if the pace can be a bit
