The words we use matter and saying he’s lost his career and lost millions implies it was done to him and somehow deserves pity for being the victim. That’s clearly how it’s being portrayed by the pro CK crowd. I’d say he did it to himself and that he has to deal with the consequences of his actions. He didn’t lose his career, he threw it away.
Has anyone dragged him through the streets? Suffered? He can’t get work because he was outed as a sexual predator. I don’t see the problem. That’s how consequences work. I’m not saying he should never work again but he lost the right to the benefit of the doubt when he decided to fire off rope shots at unwilling women. He can make all the specials he likes but there’s a weird vibe to some posters who seem almost anxious to support him more now because of this as if he’s the victim.
Make all the shows and movies you want Louis. You are forever stained with the legacy of your actions and that’s absolutely fine. If his career tanks because no one wants to support him anymore well that’s a damn shame. Bye Felicia.

May want to re-read the string of posts.
Jiri asked what he's actually lost, suggesting that it isn't enough, then other posters explained what he has lost. Then you suggested it was "pro Louis CK" posters not making a distinction between having something taken and doing it to yourself, which it didn't seem they were doing. They were just responding to Jiri's assertion that he hasn't lost much.
