I'm gonna do a bit of a hyperbole, I'm not equating the situation but for argument's sake, let's imagine that Bill Cosby is funny, like Louis is/was, and you have the knowledge that he raped all those women, would his jokes still be funny? Or maybe not so much, because a creepy rapist says them?

Well, on some level, something similar is happening here. Or should happen. For me anyway...I can't just disassociate the person from their art...at least not a comedian...

But to each their own...:/
