It’s something I struggle with. Some bad news comes out about some public persona doing something shitty and they get cancelled. But sometimes I really struggle with giving up the things they’ve made because I like them. There are also occasions where the person has been accused of something and it doesn’t seem true to me, or I think they’re genuinely sorry and have been punished enough, and the context isn’t being considered.
What do you think? Who do you feel conflicted about enjoying?
He has even admitted himself that he was in a position of power over those women and that makes it considerably harder to say no when the person asking could make or break your career.
But I don’t see someone like Louis capable of doing that. If he’s about as upfront as he is in his stand-up, I can’t see him swinging his influence around like that.
He actually said he wielded power irresponsibly. In actuality, I think he handled it as well as one could in his situation. He at least asked. Though he could’ve also asked if he could excuse himself or they could excuse themselves so he can have privacy, something. It could’ve totally flipped over on its head if he just went and did it in a way like “ah fuck these women around me, I wanna jerk off”.
There were far more worse offenders that MeToo brought out than him in comparison.
He literally fucking did it.
He didn’t need to - the women felt the pressure anyway. We know because they told us.
Low bar there.
Dude, how are you writing comments defending him without even knowing that he was specifically interested in jerking off while the women watched? Like, that’s his kink. I am inclined to believe that he genuinely acted out of cluelessness (as opposed to ill will or predatoriness) - but then again, I was a pretty big fan of his.
