Is it bad if I still think Louis C.K. is funny?

I mean, obviously the guy is a pervert. And he did engage in sexual harassment that was wrong, unethical, and possibly illegal. But then he also apologized and seemed to show genuine remorse.

If a man or woman kills someone in a drunk driving accident they don't get lambasted by the media as hard as Louis C.K. has been. Personally I find it excessive. Perhaps I lack sufficient empathy because the victims were of a different sex to myself, but I really don't think that explains it.

That doesn't really explain his latest stand up acts on making light on school shooting survivors, non-binary people, and Asian people, prefacing it as "my career is ruined, so I'll just light the match and get buck wild" type of deal.

Andy Richter explained it best on his stance to this:

Andy Richter on Twitter

““I’m gonna show that I’m not afraid to mock this upsetting thing that most ppl don’t find funny” is not brave. It’s not hilarious because it offends some people. It’s a FORMULA, and an increasingly lazy one.”

Louis has always gone for jokes that are offensive, off-color, dark, etc. He has always ragged on people in their 20s or younger. This is nothing new for him.

"Making fun of things you aren't supposed to make fun of" is literally his job. Nobody is forcing you to think that it's funny. But calling it "hackish" is just blatantly wrong. Louis does original material and he does it in his own way. He may be somewhat embittered by his recent experiences, but he can't exactly turn that feeling off or filter it completely. It just becomes another part of his act.
