Louis CK continues his fail tour



Louis C.K. appeared on Monday’s “Daily Show” and cleared up a few matters about his role in the whole Daniel Tosh rape-joke controversy.

A tweet that the “Louie” star sent to Tosh — one in which he said that the Comedy Central show “Tosh.0” “makes him laugh” — was written while Louis C.K. was on vacation, not reading the Internet and unaware of the controversy over comments Tosh recently made at the Laugh Factory, he said. The tweet was cited in the blogosphere as evidence that the former boyfriend of Leslie Knope was defending Tosh’s joke.

“I’ve been called a rape apologist because I said hi to a guy,” the comedian told Jon Stewart.

Then he continued, and explained why feminists and comedians are natural enemies. Hoo boy.

“Stereotypically speaking, feminists can’t take a joke,” he said, eliciting groans from “The Daily Show” studio audience, which then prompted Louis C.K. to say, “See?”

“And on the other side, comedians can’t take criticism,” he added

There’s more. And it gets better. Just watch.

Ok but using this gif is not saying "I worship the ground Tina Fey walks on and agree with everything she's ever done or said" I just needed a "go home" gif. Simmer.

Oh OK, but Louis CK tweeting to Tosh that he thinks he's funny = he supports rape and rape culture and deserves a million posts bashing him to pieces?

Sit down. All the way, please.

In the context at the time, yes his comment was misconstrued to be supporting Tosh. That's been explained already and most people have gotten over it. You'll notice most people in this post are reacting to the offensive shit he JUST said in THIS particular interview in context and on purpose. If you don't think what he said was offensive that's your right.

As I already said, posting a reaction gif of Tina Fey is just way of displaying an emotion not idolizing her. You're seriously reaching here. I mean how many people have posted a gif without even knowing what it's from/who the person in it is?
