1) How does he redeem himself?

Too problematic to prosecute doesn’t mean something isn’t a crime, it just means the prosecutor thinks they won’t win. It’s an important legal point. They frequently make those sort of judgements but that is not the same as saying a crime has not occurred.

Incorrect. I checked this at the time but in the US, it is a criminal offence to show your genitals to people who do not want to see them. He was cautioned but due to the time that had passed, for whatever reason they chose not to bring a prosecution which is different than saying a criminal offence has not occurred…

He went and had an interview with the New York Police and received a caution. But this right here is the problem, we can only discuss this stuff with nuance when society is prepared to stop dismissing these crimes. This case attracts attention because it illustrates how much people don’t want to listen to women who…

You’ve hit on the heart of the thing - until these cases start coming to court (which they don’t seem to if the alleged perp/perp has enough money) then yes they avoid that part of things but also they can’t say “well I did my time/paid the fine”. I’m uncomfortable with the fact that rich people basically get to…

I just find it puzzling people are keen to defend him and attack the people who point out the facts. But I think the root issue is that they still enjoy his work and don’t want to own the fact they aren’t that bothered about his wrongdoing.

I don’t think there is any comic persona that makes showing your genitals to people who aren’t consenting legal though.....

Ah those were simpler times of OWNAGE back then ;-)

“What the issue is, for a long time Louis CK’s comedy platform was that he was this hopeless guy bumbling through the world. And at some stage, he was no longer that, but that was still his voice. And I think he still believes that. He has not reassessed his position of power, and that is why he was able to abuse…

If I was in the US I would start with the government you have that hates science, discredits experts in their field and defunds important programmes. Also look at the funding of education if you have people in any great number taking health advice from celebrities......

There are some nuanced discussions to be had on what constitutes being a good ally and when people start using their allyship/awareness as something they use as a weapon to put other people down and feel better about themselves.

If I was SNEAKS I would just give the man the worn out shoes as a gift and then I would probably find another gym.

Yes and it used to be such a hotbed (coldbed?) of good old-fashioned Republican values. No discussing media with the opposite sex before marriage and we women only posted to tell the menfolk how clever they were being.......

I don’t know what other vehicle could use D’Arcy Carden this well but I freaking love D’Arcy Carden and basically want her to have all the parts from now on in everything. Like Jennifer Lawrence but more so.

Save it for Savage Love!

As a sidenote, I’m glad you didn’t let Kinja drive you away Dirtside.

Shouldn’t you be blaming the writers for any perceived failure of wit with the show or are you a disgruntled fellow starlet and she bet you in Veronica Mars audition or something?

People ruin things. We do go good stuff as well but also we have certain negative characteristics that tend to assert themselves in various situations.

1) I’m actually glad they have a specific endpoint and a plan for this show. I actually think you could keep exploring layers of hell and personal development for ever but I hope this means they will be focused and every episode will be a good ‘un.
