Keith Houchen Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Louis CK is proof that there is no such thing as cancel culture. Well, for middle aged white men anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things stand, he isn’t returning to touring, he’s considering it. But his return has been met with a fuckload of scrutiny that Louis CK’s hasn’t. Mind you, Cosby got out of prison because his defence was essentially “Yeah I did it but I struck a deal with the previous DA saying I couldn’t be prosecuted and you have to honour that deal” so fuck the pair of them.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 14, 2023 Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2023 Are we really even comparing what the two of them each did as being anywhere near the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Louis CK never had a Ghost Dad on his CV for starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for middle aged white men anyway. Cancel culture will never exist for famous people. There's far too many people who will remain fans no matter what someone does. Must say I can separate art from an artist and if people want to watch someone who is dubious then that's their choice. Louis CK is selling out massive stadiums so the crowd is still there for him. Think he releases his own stuff etc Edited February 14, 2023 by Factotum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted February 14, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2023 I must put myself in a total bubble as I haven't the faintest idea who the fuck Louis CK is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone crying “Cancelled” will automatically be welcomed by a large amount of people regardless of their output because they see themselves as anti woke or whatever bollocks they call it this week. And of course, being cancelled doesn’t apply to those on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 14, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2023 I don't think you can argue "separate the art from the artist" when the art is framed as explicitly confessional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 14, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2023 Who's watching pretty much every Woody Allen film from the first 20 years of his career and thinking, "Sure, I can separate these!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane Keaton with the lobster is my conscience. I'm sorry, I still love Manhattan and Annie Hall. I know I shouldn't be watching them and they do make me feel bad, but I still think they're brilliant films. Annie Hall especially was a bit of a comfort film for me when I was an awkward lonely teenager so it presents a bit of an issue. Well, la-di-da, la-di-da.
