I was impressed that he owned up to his abusing people. I never watched/listened to him but in attempting a comeback he blows it off (another interesting term) as him just jacking off.

Just more of the same. Consent is important regardless of people like this...

I'm so glad he's back!

He's done some things I wouldn't do, but his jokes are still funny!

Joking about abuse isn't funny to me.

Have you ever had your sexuality exploited without your consent?

I'm not sure. What do you mean by that?

Have you ever had someone in a position of power over you attempt to engage with you in a sexual situation from which it would be very difficult for you to stop from happening.

"Mind if I jack off in front of you", says famous person you want to like you.

How about as a child (like I was) and wanted them to like me so I wasn't asked for my consent but didn't stop from happening.

Nope. That would be weird, and I would walk away.

I suppose a well-crafted joke about it could be funny.

I think if someone started masturbating in front of me I wouldn't stick around long enough to laugh about it. Why would I stay?

You could comment on a number of things. I'm sure C.K. would and laugh at them. Then he could regal everyone with his story.

I don't get what people like about this guy. My SIL likes him, told my wife and I we need to watch his special on Netflix. He starts up with a joke about....rape. We watched about 5 or 10 minutes more and turned it off. He wasn't funny, rape isn't funny. I don't get it.

Here's what I like about him (since you asked):

1. He isn't afraid to make jokes about taboo subjects.

2. His jokes are original.

3. He makes valid observations about everyday life.

4. When I listen to his stand up, I laugh very hard. Laughing hard feels great. Therefore, his stand up makes me feel great.

Here's what I like about him (you didn't ask, I know):

1. He masturbates in front of people, which is rude behavior.

For that second part, I obviously meant to say, "Here's what I DON'T like about him"

I thought your statement before your edit made more sense.

Friends of mine wanted me to watch "The Wolf of Wall street." I tried but at one point I left the room.

Later I told them I didn't like it. They asked why. I said when the guy was masturbating in the office when some scantly dressed women where there was just too much for me.

They didn't remember that scene and they still love it.

No accounting for taste I guess but with regards to C.K. making jokes about abusing people is beyond poor taste in my opinion.

>> "Here's what I like about him (since you asked):"

I didn't ask a question, I made a statement....I don't get it.

But, since you replied.....If you find him funny, entertaining, that's fine. I'm not concerned with what you think. My concern is what I think, and I don't think he's funny and I don't get why others do. I get that they do, I just can't relate to why. Also, If I did think he was funny, I think I would have to ask myself why, given his topics of choice.

I also think his personal behavior, and his attempts at humor using sexual abuse, school shootings, etc. as a punch line, over shadows any actual humor he might be capable of.....and it just isn't funny.....to me......maybe to you, but again, I don't get it. Not a question, just a statement.

I don't know. This is the problem with online forums vs. face-to-face interactions. Your comments come across to me more as virtue signalling than anything else.

“Mind if I jack off in front of you?”

That would actually be funny in response to “that” question in a worthiness interview.

B: Do you keep the Law of Chastity?

Kid: What's that?

B: It is not playing with yourself.

Kid: So I have to play with other kids to obey this law?

in the "me too" movement. My son was sexually molested. My brother was raped. My brother was sexually harassed at work. I was sexually harassed at work.

It is as though the men never get sexually abused or harassed. It goes both ways and it happens more than most people ever think it does.
