Questions for Louis C.K. - Slate
It’s a dumb thing to take at face value. You’d have to be a moron. And if you do, you are not allowed to laugh at any more jokes. You are not allowed to laugh at any jokes that have any violence or negative feelings attached to them, ironically or otherwise. I think there’s a lot of hypocrisy in that. If anybody thinks that what he said is true and there’s no comedy in it, don’t come to my shows.
Shit, I actually liked Lous C.K., although I know his comedy is way problematic, as are most comedians, but I really disagree with him defending Morgan Tracy. And no, it doesn’t fucking matter where you say your homophobic rants or if you didn’t disclaim them to be your views, you still said them. And it should have been made a big deal, it should have been taken from that stage in Nashville to the national eye for critique. I get Louis is a comedian too and whatever, blah blah, but not everything is permissible because someone is your colleague. Somewhere in this interview, Louis C.K. also said that if he was put in that situation, he’d want someone sticking up for him. UM. If you were in that situation, Louis C.K., your ass deserves to be chewed out as much as Morgan Tracy’s and no sympathy should be given because it might’ve been a joke. I can’t get behind anyone who uses that as an excuse to say whatever the fuck they want without letting themselves be critiqued.
Oh and last thing, I didn’t find what Tracy Morgan said funny, but I’m not a moron, nor do I condone calling anyone a moron and yes, I’ll still continue to laugh at controversial jokes, just not Louis C.K.’s, I guess.
