I haven't heard anyone even suggest that Cosby should be forgiven, that he's not that bad etc.
But tons of people talk question how bad what Louis CK did "really was", and it's with him that we discuss the "length of the public sentence". While some people disapprove of Louis CK still having a career, people are hating the idea of Gomesho having a voice in public at all.
So I think there is actually a pretty clear difference in the public reaction if you look at the details and not just the amount of noise.
That's not to say that painting everything with the same brush doesn't happen, it absolutely does and a lot. But I still think most people are actually able to intuitively tell the difference between different cases and it does affect their reactions.
Obviously being generally able to tell the difference oesn't make people logical or consistent in their reactions. But I think that's a different problem than not being able to tell the difference.
