The #metoo thread (sexual assault and/or misconduct discussion)

Definitely expected him to touch on the scandal at least.

The backlash to the women is gross but I think it kind of reflects a lot of the structural enabling of this kind of behaviour like with Nassir, the Catholic church, and Hollywood/Weinstein. Louis was basically the king of modern comedy in a well-connected scene, so a lot of comedians saw the scandal as a threat to their industry and behaved ****tily in order to protect it.

Hopefully he has new material soon, he's still a hysterical fellow.
