Please stop giving me league ptsd  I liked playing Sejuani and Maokai, and some other junglers, because I am an idiot who hates myself, and watching the mid laner push and feed relentlessly to the Yi/ LeBlanc and complain at me while I am helping top or bottom is true suffering.

Harton posted:I don’t know man, it’s better than a dumbass derail about “Twitter” being useful/lovely because it’s clearly lovely. 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. There is actually a thread for this! https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3857030&perpage=40&pagenumber=1#lastpost

Veryslightlymad posted: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. Letterman’s apology seemed to go over well and made him at least appear redeemable, and seems to be doing ok. Mel Gibson is doing movies again, so yea it’s possible for people to appear to have learned enough of a lesson but the bar needs to be high. I don’t really think it is.

Lightning Knight posted:Bronze player who whines about ELO hell spotted. No it doesn’t at all, I’m quite aware that not all of us are white. I don’t know what minority’s think about what I’m saying. You know what though? There are people here who can help us all with these sort of assumptions and maybe some of the things your talking about. Clearly you haven’t been paying attention to anything else in the thread except your dumbass Twitter argument. Some of us are open to being explained something we say may be wrong. This is a really good thread to see white people say terrible things and get called out for it big time. I’ve learned a lot just from those people’s mistakes and it’s opened my eyes to entire ways I used to think about little things that turned out to big a bigger deal than I realized. “Twitter justice” is not necessarily a more important topic and if I’m wrong I definitely wanna hear it. Just not from a guy talking about Twitter for like the last 9 pages.

Critical posted:It's a little out there but CK made his career on pushing the envelope. He has a whole bit about using the N word as well as masturbating during the twin towers falling. But those were funny bits. Taunting a high school kid for trying to advocate for gun control after his school was massacred in a shooting is just weird. It's a shame if CK really turned into an old unfunny bitter man.

Look back at his catalogue of Edgy Funnyguy Stuff through this new lens of ‘forced voyeur masturbator who picks on young adults making change after watching classmates be murdered’ and there’s a good chance you will no longer find any of it funny. Maybe some of his writing but his stand up has always been this awful angry old man edgelord mess.

I'm usually on the comedian's side in this sort of thing. Half the time the complaints are from people who literally don't understand the joke. Things like comedians making GBS threads on rapist catholic priests and internet white knights saying RAPE JOKE BAD! That Louis CK audio is amateur terrible though. Even if the subject matter wasn't bad, it would be bad. Hopefully it's a sign his social punishment has been real.

Maybe some of his writing but his stand up has always been this awful angry old man edgelord mess. You must not have been reading the last few pages, particularly the post I made specifically contrasting stuff from the leaked set to his earlier work. I'm not trying to say it's completely out of the blue but why folks have to come ITT and do...THIS, whatever this is, and sound like experts to score cheap internet discusso points when they clearly don't know at all the subject they're trying to involve themselves in is beyond me. Why not just read the responses from folks with actually useful things to say and discuss it with friends if you want cheap points? Doing it here when I can bury you in factual counter-argument seems counter-productive. You're simply not being accurate here if you're trying to tell us the recent stuff is not a departure from older stuff, simply put. It's still CK, but clearly he's looking through a different lens right now. Ignoring that to make your point is ridiculous.

In a vacuum with just the apology, I still say it looks pretty good, but thenSchlitzkrieg Bop posted: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. (Emphasis mine) Well, I mean, sometimes a person just takes the wrong lesson from something.
