Damn. So terrible for everyone.

One of the voice actresses spoke out about how disappointed she was because she was a trans actress who was going to be voicing a trans character and now that isn't going to happen.

I feel very bad for these people and it sucks that Louis C.K.'s abuse is indirectly having consequences for all these people who had nothing to do with it.

These are genuinely things that should be said privately to him in letters, or emails. It doesn't need to be said publicly because, regardless of the order, it diminishes the victim's experience and trauma, and can make the victim feel guilty. Imagine a victim reading that and going, fuck I made all of these people lose their jobs before the holidays by coming forward, I should've waited. It wouldn't matter what order it went in, that's what you'd walk away with, and they should never be made to feel in any way complicit for his actions affecting others. So just leave out the part where you're a victim of this, too, and say you stand with them, while privately telling him he's a dick on monumental levels. It completely sucks that all of these people are now also losing jobs because of what he did, but victims who are willing need to come forward and expose these monsters, and no future possible whistleblower should be reading these things and contemplating whose life they're going to "ruin" by doing so.

I totally get why he is mad. He lost his job after working so hard and it had nothing to do with him. And right before the holidays. With his wife staying home, they will have no income.

Imagine if that happened to you right now.

yeah, don't get why people are policing his reply when he even had that entire second paragraph dedicated to his victims.

I think all these people would be better served by instead talking about how they're victims, emphasize how much of a perpatrator these guys can be. Abusing your power without thought of the impact in can have on other people, luring people in with the false idea of a safe/liberal space, creating an environment of fear and discomfort, ruining people's careers and lives who are already vulnerable. It's repugnant at its core of how selfish it is.
