Please don’t ban this genius

We need the spark

Exactly, Louis CK being pervy doesn't really change anyone's opinion of him, whereas Bill Cosby's entire body of work has been ruined.

Fat Albert still rules. FTW!

The art and the artist are inextricably linked in comedy, so it's entirely relevant what the artist has done.

If anything it makes it all the funnier.

wanker or not, Louis CK is one of the best comedians on the planet. i swear to god if an accusation against Bill Burr comes out next I’ll be done for good.

It's always hard to see your idols fall. I guess you do have to have to separate the real person from the work sometimes. It took me a long time for me to accept the fact that Cosby was a louse and I can't watch his shows or listen to his comedy records which I loved as a kid, mostly because of the hypocrisy more than anything else.

Maybe history will judge him and others a little differently. I guess we'll see.

honestly if i like the art i couldn’t give a **** about the artist, but there’s definitely a weirdness to it with a comedian. it’s not like it’s a movie or a song, they get on stage and share their life with you. it will never change my appreciation for Louis CKs material, but i think it will always linger in the back of my mind when i watch his stuff.

Why do you give a ****?

i mean the stories about him calling women and them hearing him jack off in the background are a little bit... uncomfortable. i honestly don’t see him in the same light as anyone else being accused atm though. i don’t think it’s that he’s a bad person, he’s not a rapist, it sounds like he needs some help. counciling or something. but that doesn’t exactly make his actions excusable.
