Just as conversation finally began waning on the Oscars' Will Smith/Chris Rock drama, known sexual abuser and oversized homunculus of your nightmares Louis CK won a Grammy for Best Comedy Album on Sunday night, getting Twitter in a tizzy over "cancel culture," the double-standards that exist within Hollywood for black vs white men, how we define assault, and just good ol' fashioned racism + sexism.


To every journalist who asks me if we now live in a world where you can’t say anything anymore: We currently live in a world where you can masturbate in front of people you employ, and then win a Grammy for talking about it.

Louis CK just won a GRAMMY. "cancel culture" seems pretty selective hm? And thanks so much to our industry for once again telling us that survivors don't matter. #HireSurvivorsHollywood #MeToo @hiresurvivors https://t.co/AKGpSjhlSQ

Remember when male comedians this week were like "Chris Rock got slapped!! Comedy is in danger!" They never gave a fuck about those of us in comedy who were always in danger. They're SILENT 2nite on Louie CK winning a Grammy for an album where he jokes about his assaults.
