I'm glad to read that you spoke out again. I liked how you phrased your feelings about it in the Obscure episode, and you've done well doing it here as well.

I was a huge fan of Louis CK and was disappointed when I heard what had happened. I, like you and many of the commenters here, did not think that what he did placed him in the ranks of a Cosby or a Weinstein, but I was still disappointed. I found that I did not enjoy his comedy anymore. Not that he was no longer funny, but because I found myself thinking about what happened and focusing on that instead of the comedy.

I wonder why he did not take that leap and champion the MeToo movement by being self deprecating as he is so good at doing and as you were hoping he would? He had nothing to lose reputation wise, in my opinion. Maybe it was financial. Maybe he was protecting his daughters. I don't know if we'll ever know.
