    Adding Louis CK to the list. I used to like his shows, and genuinely found the writing and his takes to be thoughtful and helpful. Finding out he was gross and shitty the whole time sucked.

      I never understood this take. Like, did you not actually listen to the shit he said when you “liked” his shows? Did you not see the skit where he went on a morning interview and told his female interviewer that he was going to jerk off to her later and there was nothing she could do about it? If so, how was it actually surprising to hear he jerked off infront of a female coworker after he told her he was going to do it? You can separate the art from the artist all you want, but at some point you have to realize that all that art came from somewhere.

        A lot of his humor was based on things you want to do but don’t. So exploring dark desires that you should not act on is reasonable for comedy. Then it comes out that he did some of that stuff and it’s not funny anymore.

        I believe that skit was about christofascist suppression of masturbation so it was appropriate at the time. The interviewer was surnamed “Fapper”.

      hes it disappointing he had the foreknowledge to shield his “cancellation” by moving it all online shows. he pratically came back amonsgt conservatives people and men who dint know his past history.
