But when you got people saying that being forced to watch a man who holds complete power over you masturbate is just 'unconformable' and that they should be 'fine', and this predator is already doing shows a year after admitting to his sexual misconduct, it just seems like it's lip-service. Both from him, and the "public" who are suppose to be holding these guys accountable now.
He was doing this and denying it for at least 20 years, maybe spend a bit more than a year before he gets to be clean of it.

See I don't agree with this. There is a reason there are legal proceedings when someone is charged with an offense. Witnesses go on the stand under oath. Testimonies are taken, cross-examinations, etc. If after that the defendant is found guilty they should be punished accordingly. Your idea of using social pressure to ruin him is nothing more than vigilante justice based one side of the story and everyone that is accused of a crime deserves their day in court. People like you are driving society backwards to the days of burning people at the stake because they were accused of being witches.
His career has already been massively damaged. He's lost millions in lost projects, credibility, etc. Do you want to keep your foot on his neck pushing him into possible depression (he's a comedian so he's already there), drug use, alcoholism, suicidal thoughts? What's your end game here and who are you to decide this is right or fair?
