When you're charged with a crime, we have a formal system for handing out verdicts and sentencing. We can disagree with the outcomes, but the whole system has some legitimacy. In the case of the transgressions of people like CK and Ansari, there were no formal charges. So the punishment we meted out as a society was mob ostracization.
But there's no consensus on how or for how long they should be punished. No precedents or formal guidelines. It's all informal and subjective. So their timing on going back to work and stepping into the public eye again will piss some people off while others will happily welcome them back. That's just the way it's going to be with these guys, and with anyone else who commits non-criminal social transgressions.
