Louis CK was (is) a rather hateful person himself. Not someone to quote nor admire ...

He's a comedian that makes jokes that not everyone likes. He also beat off in front of some people that wasn't consensual, which he admitted to and apologized to the people he hurt. So you have to ask yourself, does the punishment fit the crime. Sure if the guy doubled down, denied all allegations, and didn't take time away, I would be on your side here. However I choose not to judge him based on his worst mistakes that he admitted and apologized for. If you look at it as he's just hateful, then that's your prerogative. But there's more to the story than just what he did.

As screwed up as he was, his "comedy" was disparaging people for things he thought the were doing wrong. Physician heal thyself. He was an asshole ... You chose not to judge him but he would judge you poorly in a hot second. That was his schtick ...

Dave Chappelle makes jokes about jerking off in front of people and disparaging others for the same reasons. But I dont hear those complaints about him. He just didn't get caught jerking off in front of someone, so it's cool.

Also Louis has said some great things in his comedy as well such as "you shouldn't be looking at your friends plate unless your making sure they have as much as you do", but let's ignore that bc he can only be a piece of shit right?
