The backlash against Louis CK

This is really fucked up. He's a comedian. He does dark comedy. He has for decades. He's made fun of everyone and everyone.
There is no sympathy to be had for anyone who willingly listens to his material and then gets offended. It's on you to do your research before listening to somebody's material to make sure you won't be offended.
Can't say I'm a fan of all this feigned outrage. Shut the fuck up, people. He's a comedian for fucks sake. -

Great board choice Stalin. Take this to the Tug, and save that forum from the tyranny of @SFGbob and Hondo.DerekJohnson said:He recently had a set where he purportedly made unforgivably offensive jokes. I started to listen to a clip, preparing to be disappointed. And, well, what he said wasn't too different from commentary you'd read on Hardcore Husky seven days a week and twice on Sundays.

I wouldn’t even say research on a comedian but fuck me, if you’re going to a comedy show, you should be aware and even expect to hear some things you don’t like.Fenderbender123 said:This is really fucked up.

It would be really funny to show Don Rickles shows from the 60's that were clean enough for TV but would cause fear and loathing todayFenderbender123 said:This is really fucked up. He's a comedian. He does dark comedy. He has for decades. He's made fun of everyone and everyone.

He insulted everyone. Now you better stick to white guys if you want to insult anyone. Once we obtain non majority status in 20 years or so we can join in on the outrage -

I always thought CK was a little overated, and kind of being edgy in order to be funny, rather than being edgy AND funny. Just going on stage and saying faggot and cunt and the n word over and over isn't funny per se.
THAT BEING SAID, whether or not someone personally enjoys his comedy is besides the point. There is definitely a time and a place for edgy comedy.
If you go to a comedy show without knowing anything about the performer(s) you have to have a reasonable expectation of there being some blue or edgy material.
There's a pretty big difference between saying the n word at a comedy show and spraypainting it on the side of a bridge.
The worst is when someone takes a joke completely out of context, like taking a joke that was performed at a comedy show, the phoning up the last person in the world who should hear it and ask them if it's offensive and if the person who wrote it should apologize.
It's like, no, you're the asshole who told the joke to the wrong person. There's a time and a place, and there's a right and a wrong audience. -
Did he include the trademark crude, vulgar, and cynical tone that permeates the HH crew? Count me out if he doesDerekJohnson said:He recently had a set where he purportedly made unforgivably offensive jokes. I started to listen to a clip, preparing to be disappointed.
