[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d rather tolerate an imperfect genius when the alternative is mildly talented mediocrity. Just goes to show people can’t be great at everything.[/quote]

So, you’d give bill Cosby a pass because he was such a comedic genius who redefined the sitcom?

I used to love Louis CK but honestly all of his jokes about being a creep, jerking off too much, etc just suddenly weren’t as funny when you found out he was just describing his actual life and it’s not “haha listen to this exaggerated caricature of me”

That said I saw a recent clip of him talking about the whole thing and his regrets, etc and I’d totally be interested in seeing him again. But if it turns out it’s still just him talking about his dick and jerking off I’ll pass [/quote]

I don't want to be Cosby's friend, but the show was good. We should still hold people accountable for their actions but that doesn't mean they didn't produce greatness. [/quote]

+1.  Now as a parent I love that show more :) every episode was about how kids kids needed to realize who was paying!  Now I get it lol

That's the prob with cancel culture and there's certain shows like Las Vegas which is pretty cringe but amusing at the same time - and movies that really are raunchy that would never get made now but honestly, it's not the biggest deal.  We have so much unfiltered ridiculous online forums and postings that comparatively it's not the worst things.

There's a ton of politicians that should be cancelled but alas, can't be because of the office they hold. Entertainment is just that. If you don't want to watch, don't. Not a fan, don't buy. But cancel culture is dangerous as it's a blanket judgement not providing for shades of gray which is the of color real life.  [/quote]
