I thought he asked people if he could do it? Did he actually do it against someone’s consent?
It's a convoluted topic because he holds power and the women were afraid of retribution if they say no. It's a lot like the it's always sunny bit about it not being rape while at sea because women won't say no because of the implications.
I genuinely don't know how to feel about Louis C.K. The me too movement was a scale from Al Franken to Harvey Weinstein.
Louis C.K. wasn't using remotely controlled door locks, at least.
They consented, apparently by their words they did so due to the implication that their career would be ruined if they said no
What does consent mean when you're talking to people who you have control over their careers?
Sure, he may have asked, but if someone felt like saying no means they don't get to continue working?
