Default The #metoo thread (sexual assault and/or misconduct discussion)

Since our mods are too lazy to move that whole discussion in the netflix thread to a separate thread, here it is because :

Louis C.K. Performs First Stand-Up Set Since Misconduct Scandal

Quote:
The comedian delivered a set of “typical Louis C.K. stuff” without referencing the scandal
Well of course he didn't.

Quote:
Louis C.K. received an ovation before his surprise set began.
Well of course he did.

So basically, he took a bit of a holiday, and everything's peachy now...except:
Quote:
Some of the women who came forward with the allegations described ongoing personal and professional repercussions. “I’ve experienced vicious and swift backlash from women and men, in and out of the comedy community,” comedian Rebecca Corry wrote for Vulture. “I’ve received death threats, been berated, judged, ridiculed, dismissed, shamed, and attacked.”
But y'know...they had it comin' I guess...women, amirite? :/
