    Just taking this opportunity to remind everyone that Louis C.K. has never made any tangible steps to make amends with the women he abused and yet he still goes on podcasts and talks about how the reporting on his sexual misconduct damaged his life and reputation as though he is the true victim

      Source? From Wikipedia:

      Both Corry and Schachner stated that C.K. privately apologized for his past behavior several years later.[142][144]

      In response to The New York Times reporting, C.K. released a statement apologizing and admitting guilt, writing, “These stories are true” and saying that while he initially thought “it was okay because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first”, he went on to express remorse, stating, “the power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.”

      I have seen him on a few podcasts talking about his shame and steps he has taken to realise the full impact of what he did and how he has changed

        Your comment does seem to confirm TheBlindPew’s point, that it’s all about him. Did he apologize to the women?

            He’s a public figure who sexually assaulted public figures… In those situations, they usually do publicly apologize.

              Well if you feel he hasn’t done enough you should probably avoid supporting him I guess

              Pretty loose definition of sexual assault you are using also

                I honestly fucking hate that you’re making me look this shit up and read about it again. It’s was not just over the phone:

                As soon as they sat down in his room, still wrapped in their winter jackets and hats, Louis C.K. asked if he could take out his penis, the women said.

                They thought it was a joke and laughed it off. “And then he really did it,” Ms. Goodman said in an interview with The New York Times. “He proceeded to take all of his clothes off, and get completely naked, and started masturbating.”

                  Sounds like he asked for consent to me

                  There is the question of if the power dynamic made it inappropriate obviously

                  Definitely not sexual assault in my eyes, watching someone jack off isn’t the end of the world, there is a reason there was no charges or conviction
