Dark humor is dark, but it's still funny. The issue with CK is that he's already a perv and a predator, that adds a certain stink to everything he does. Along with that, social media gives everyone a voice and a tiny bit of control, a tiny bit of power over others. We've discovered that outrage magnifies that bit of power, so naturally we're outraged by everything we don't like.

I hate to inform you Trotsky but conservatives have history coopted when it comes to censoring entertainment. They made entire industries for this. Look up the history of the Family Research Council and the Parents Television Council.This is one of the things you liberals do when you're logically cornered, you twist the argument into being about rights. No one here is arguing whether or not Louis CK has the right to say what he wants. No one is arguing that people do or don't have a right to criticize. We all accept that both parties have a right to their opinion and to voice it. You're shadow boxing again, but you think that you just won the championship belt.
What this discussion is about, is how liberals are now ruining comedy with their PC snowflake butthurtedness. He's always been vulgar and said offensive things. Some 10 years ago he had a bit where he said n***** (a word the left has made so vile I dare not utter it here in a PC bastion, even for simply using it as a quote). But now today's PC left falls apart from comedy. I used to lean left, but the left has gone full retard now and I have #walkedaway as you know. The left has strayed left of common sense and here we have yet another example.

So who is logically cornered?

Yeah, yeah, entire organizations that still protest today vs a few people speaking up about his behavior? News for you, PTC and FRC still operate today and have called for banns in the last few years. I don't see any left leaning prganization calling for an organized protest of Louis CK.I'm not a christian conservative and am very against their attempts to push their version of morality into law and rules we have to live by. It is just that today the left is the bigger offender of exactly the same thing. In many ways today the liberals parallel conservatives of decades back. Think about the children and all that.
