I also think when someone as famous and talented as him gets cancelled, it’s arguably the fans who get the worst of it. He’s still a multimillionaire selling out shows but I can’t let anyone know I think he’s the funniest man alive without judgement. It’s so backwards because we the fans didn’t commit his crimes but we’re paying for them because we still have taste for what’s funny.
And like you say comparing to Weinstein, there’s no nuance. He might as well be a cannibal serial killer in the eyes of the public because a bad egg is a bad egg.
Im more concerned about how he is a case study in why you never admit to anything. It seems like theres already so little incentive for assholes to avoid trial and this eliminates any argument for (even if he was cornered or sufficient screws were pressed) stepping up and settling while committing onself to the requisite scrutiny besides damages, even if off-the-record, so their risk profile is manageable or completely mitigated.
