Even The Wolf likely can't clean up Harvey Weinstein's pending troubles

But it wasn't weird. Part of the reaction to Louis C.K. was due to the perception of power dynamics.

But a huge part of the reaction was due to the fact that it seemed weird.

 

Do you want his career to be hurt?

 

I said "pretty much completely unscathed." I qualified it. Not eloquently. But I did.

 

We don't know. But nobody on "the left" defended any of them based on their political leanings. The closest you could get to your argument holding water is Franken, and he still got run out on a rail.

 

I never really want anybody's career to be hurt. I'm empathetic to a fault.

 

Though, Weinstein did think so little of his fellow travelers, that he thought attacking the NRA, and providing additional support to womens’ causes —in the name of his mother —would save him.

In a different time, it probably would have.

Spacey thought that announcing he was living his life as a gay man would save him.

 

Okay, that. You can be very concerned with how others choose their words but you don't always apply those same standards of care to yourself.

 

Did it? As far we can see, at this point in time?

 

For the record, I am not a fan of Ansari's. I watched Parks and Rec but not for him. Watched one episode of his netflix show.

I find him kinda squirrley and annoying.
This picture is of a guy who looks annoying AF

 

I will keep that in mind and work on that. (Seriously.) It's a fair point.

 

Ahem.

 

Someone like Louis C.K. needed to be intentionally ostracized because what they did was so impactful inside the industry as a whole. The shit with his agent took it past the realm of personal misconduct and into professional.

That's not going to happen with Ansari. What Ansari faces now is a public image problem. If his career is ruined, it won't be because people in power said "OK, your behavior means you can't work anymore." It will be because the audience just doesn't want to see him anymore.
