Those CK masturbation rumors have been around for as long as I can remember, but I always assumed they were bullshit. It seemed like an easy rumor to start because he just looks like a schlubby pervert. Like the Richard Gere gerbil thing or Marylin Manson removing a rib to suck his own dick. They're just believable enough because of who they are.
Bad read on my part I suppose.

Weinstein was a serial rapist who would destroy careers if he didnt get that pussy, that's a far cry from what I'm reading here.
That said, if you're right, mea culpa of course.
I need to interject something here, its been really grating at me.Quote:

Throughout the last several weeks, as more of these stories evolve, I feel less and less sympathetic for the [female] victims.
You decide to come forward because of a social media trend?
Deciding to come forward in droves is not brave nor courageous. It is weak, resentful and accomplishes very little - other than destroying the credibility and public lives of both the accused and their victims. Many of these cases have expired or near expired statues of limitations. If victims don't feel a duty to speak up when this shit happens, why do we have a duty to listen and react, years later?
Rant over, carry on boys.
As more and more women come forward it obviously takes less and less courage.Quote:

But does that mean that they shouldn't come forward whenever the required level of courage drops below the amount they have?
Exactly. I mean, it's not like Mossad spies were literally threatening these women.Quote:

Oh, wait...
Also they just cancelled the premier of his movie.
From
Louis C.K. Crossed a Line Into Sexual Misconduct, 5 Women Say
Quote:
After being contacted for an interview this week about the on-the-record accusations of sexual misconduct — encounters that took place over a decade ago — Louis C.K.’s publicist, Lewis Kay, said the comedian would not respond. “Louis is not going to answer any questions,” Mr. Kay wrote in an email Tuesday night.
Neither Louis C.K. nor Mr. Kay replied to follow-up emails in which the accusations were laid out in detail, or to voice messages or texts. On Thursday, the premiere of Louis C.K.’s new movie “I Love You, Daddy,” was abruptly canceled, and he also canceled an appearance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”
They cancelled a NY premiere, which is not a huge deal for now. If the movie doesn't get released next week, that's way more consequential.Quote:

Its just not a good look - for anyone involved, including those representing either side. Its difficult to empathize and with the many victims of many cases, who just suddenly are finding their voices.
Hopefully, this is a lesson to all future victims (a reality) to come forward immediately.
I may regret saying this, however, if I am being honest here - I hope these sexual misconduct cases don't turn into this generation's version of Liebeck vs. McDonald's or similar litigious cases. We are a sue happy culture, as it is.
On a more uplifting note, Roy Moore going down today is just delightful.

Does "going down" mean winning by 7 instead of 15?Quote:

I recall watching a L CK stand up years ago where he disgust masturbating and the feeling of guilty afterward.... he seems to have an obsession which only confirms the assaults.
I really wanted to see this movie. Louis CK is a great comedian and it sucks his career is gone now
Found it... 2007 I think or there about.

Maybe I worded that poorly. I was just saying he did something that seemed to be a play out of the Weinstein playbook, not that he is on that level by any means.Quote:

And I doubt this kills his career. If this ends up being just jerking off in front of women he'll be able to spin it over time and run with that as part of his act. I'm sure some of the many comedic actresses he's worked with will eventually come to his defense... As long as he didn't jerk off in front of them without permission of course.
Please don't take this the wrong way or anything, but you seem like a real cunt.Quote:
