1glitch0 posted:I'm so sick of comedians bitching about the "PC movement". It's not even a real thing. There's nothing more pathetic than seeing someone on a brightly lit stage with a microphone in their hand with thousands of people staring at them who paid to see them and the person on stage is complaining about how they can't say anything anymore. I loved it when Seinfeld complained about PC crowds on college campuses not liking his edgy humor because they were too PC even as Daniel Tosh was the most popular comedian in the college circuit by far.

Trump was seriously the come to Jesus moment of “wait do I really sound this racist when I say poo poo like this?” I mean the gears had been in the works for awhile - college helps A LOT, but it was definitely a watershed time.

sexpig by night posted:You also missed the point I guess. What good is even bringing up 'well hey this COULD go bad though'? Again how is that any different than the countless 'is metoo going too far?' things? Yea groups of people can be corrupted real easy, thanks for the insight into basic world history and human nature, but until that actually starts happening you might as well point to any hashtag and go 'yea but what if this becomes bad?' None of this actually happened in this thread. The critique was that twitter mob justice has no setting between 0 and 11 and was only tangentially related to #metoo because it started over a discussion about Aziz Ansari. I could go back and check but I don't think a single poster said #metoo was bad, asked if it went too far, or defended Weinstein.

Has CK actually done much of anything since actually issuing a confession and apology? It struck me at the time that he was like, the only person who showed any kind of self-awareness and/or remorse for being outed in this mess. Here's a question, in a world of Kevin Spaceys who double down on shittiness and creepiness, and Hulk Hogans who apologize only for being caught, at what point do we say someone learned a lesson? Because if the answer is "never", then they're never going to learn. It's sort of why the Death Penalty and massive sentences do nothing to actually deter crime.

I mean his apology wasn't particularly great or sincere feeling and his new comedy set after coming back is right-wing as gently caress so I'm gonna say that it's not a matter of being redeemed so much as he's still being an rear end in a top hat just in a different way.

KickerOfMice posted:You missed the point. That wasn't about comparing the end actions of the two, it was about the mentality that could lead up to those actions, and how even a mob of well-minded people could be misdirected and manipulated by one or a few manipulative and persuasive people to achieve their own goals. People need to be part of groups, and angry people, for whatever reason they are angry, are easier to convince and control as a group. Anger is a deep motivator, and the motivation can be subtly usurped. Internet mobs get usurped by horrible people all the goddamn time too, and people addicted to the rush of beating on a helpless target will seek out increasingly vulnerable and petty targets of opportunity to get the next high, while the worst possible people find the mob incredibly easy to manipulate. That's literally what happened with Helldump, and it created the template for internet stalking and mobbing followed for decades to come, you can find Helldump alumni at the centre of all kinds of internet clusterfucks and organised harassment to this day. And it's almost always easy targets, because unless paired with major public scandals (in which case the mob is at best a minor help to keeping it from being buried, usually just a minor ineffectual sideshow) anyone with actual power and wealth can pretty much shrug it off, while the mob gets the most satisfaction about targets they can actually beat up on, which is usually the most powerless and vulnerable people they can justify or invent reasons to attack.

One of them said "It's a shame, he left behind a wife and some kids" and Doug Stanhope without missing a beat said sarcastically "yeah, it's such a shame he chose such a dangerous job when he had a wife and kids." I guffawed

The rumors were around for years, and Louis CK would either lie or evade when asked about them directly. It was only once the NY Times came out with details and sources that he showed any remorse. And thankfully he shelved the movie he directed which managed to make light of the accusations against both him and Woody Allen.

At least this helps people come together with some troubling parts of their past. Honestly white people should be talking to each other more about this stuff because it makes us all feel a little less alone in the world. Which can help some people’s convictions when faced with ignoring these things or speaking out about them every day. I’d say that’s more useful than talking about twitter for any reason.

The problem with this is that implicitly assumes that this is primarily a space for white (men) and thus we should have a struggle session about how we feel bad for having been/being bad people which will push non-white men out of the space. Like I'm guilty of it to don't get me wrong, but we should just deal.
