See, arguing in this fashion - characterizing people who don't share your moral intuitions about how much penance is needed as "apologists" for the person who has been universally characterized as a bad actor - is why you and people like you can't really be taken seriously on these topics. You're not engaging honestly and in good faith. I don't know who the "pro CK" crowd is supposed to be, unless you mean the people who think he deserves less severe punitive consequences than you happen to.

I have at best a passing interest in Louis CK, in that I've never seen his show but I watched his specials on Netflix and thought they were pretty good, so I'm not exactly going to feel any big loss if all his future stuff fails and he fades into obscurity. But I'm not about to suggest that people who do want to watch more of his content are somehow less righteous than those who decry his continued existence. If he tries to make more movies and shows and they fail because people don't want to watch him anymore, fine, whatever, you made your bed. If he tries to make more movies and shows and people demand that they be pulled from theatres and networks forever because others should be just as outraged as I am about this evil evil despicable man, well, to those people I say, go #### yourself, you self-important pricks.

People who think that more moral outrage makes you a more morally upstanding person, and that people who don't have the same level of outrage are somehow defending bad behaviour, are possibly the most obnoxious people in society at the moment.
