I don't really know. Something about you being legitimately worried about Louis CK's state of mind just seemed really weirdly funny to me at the time. Why do you think Louis would kill himself, no one loves Louis more than Louis loves Louis.

Louis probably hates himself more than anyone hates him, and if he loses his job and everyone hates him too, he's likely to kill himself.

I think that's just how he made his money.

I think self loathing is necessary for the issues he has.

In any case I wouldn't be surprised if he'd be one of the next people posted in the celebrity death thread.

I don't see him killing himself but I do agree with Merc that there's probably some deep-seated self-loathing going on with him. Him sexual harassing those women seems like an extension of that more than anything

Mads @ 9/11/2017 16:09 Mercator @ 9/11/2017 19:08 Edge @ 9/11/2017 15:40 I dunno but I don't think I'd want Louis CK blocking a hotel doorway while masturbating and refusing me exit from the room. Did he do that? Does it matter? Him masturbating at people who are (and rightly so) uncomfortable should be problematic enough. That's a criminal offense. I'm guessing he's asking first to see if they'd be comfortable with it. I think you would "rightly so" say no, other people might say yes though (and enjoy it, not everyone is you). The phone thing is sketchy AF, pretty disgusting. I don't get why he didn't just get some dominatrix to fulfill his self loathing fueled self degradation kink instead of all this shit.

It's exhibitionism- so self-loathing is right out; it's a power thing in terms of getting a reaction.

The asking the women; they thought was part of him joking around, only to have him do it. And when one made comments about it later, she was told by a high level comedy manager "Drop it".

Good, idea. Lets get all the boys in high school in one room and tell society expects them to be rapists. Sexism at it's finest.

Yeah, because telling people to act proper is the same as accusing them. It's like when you go to church and they tell you you are a murderer because of that "thou shalt not kill" thing.

It's funny you use that as an example Vlady, given that 'thou shalt not kill' doesn't seem to have prevented anybody in history from doing exactly that.

How do you know it hasn't prevented anyone?

I think the SJW label is thrown around too much nowadays. It is useful in describing a very specific type of person imo, but I wouldn't apply it to anybody here. For me, an SJW is someone who doesn't want to engage in conversation and thinks everyone who disagrees them is literally hitler.

Many on the right (and some on the left too) get mad when they are wrongly labelled alt right or fascist. Is it therefore fair to dismiss so many on the left as SJW's? I don't think so

SJW/Communists are a minority fringe of the left, and alt righters/fascists are a minority fringe on the right. And I don't say that to imply that either group aren't a problem. Because I think they are. The crazies talk the loudest, and I think politicians sometimes mistake them as speaking for more people than they really are.

Ain't it an SJW thing to do to call everybody who disagrees with you an SJW? Hows that for a mind fuck?

Just sayin

Because I killed six people after leaving mass last Sunday

But I went to church when I was young and didn't kill anybody then, so I think it worked for me.

It goes back to the whole "You don't throw out something that works because it won't work on certain people." If this were true, we would have pretty much no laws and no pharmaceuticals.

I haven't read the arguments about this or read the articles linked to it btw

I'm just joking around.

Except for the murder part, that really happened

I think the law and our country’s strict punishment for murder is one of the biggest factors involved in people not killing (and also just respect for human life, etc.) so maybe if the justice system actually maintained consistent strict punishment for rape we’d actually see a change.

Rapes and violent crimes are at an all time low, I don't understand why everyone thinks this is some kind of massive epidemic when things are getting consistently better.
