Neutral doesn't seem accurate to me unless you mean that his detractors and supporters somehow cancel each other out. There is a strong visible (driven by social media) faction who object to Louis CK being "allowed" to perform comedy in public period, even at a hole-in-the-wall night club. There is a less visible faction who remain fans of his work and will pay to see him perform.

CK performed many impromptu sets before his chosen subject matter became a focus for scorn and criticism. The initial negative reactions were driven by sentiments that he had come back too soon or not properly apologized.

Which he hasn't.

yep.
complaining about how much money u lost out on "that book deal" is not an apology or even in the same vicinity as remorse.

Oh yeah, I mean I'm in no way defending or in support of Louis CK. But there were many prominent comedians/fans who supported his return (as well as many who did not). It just seemed more neutral in that yeah, there were detractors, but there were also a fair number of supporters. And I'd always heard it was his Parkland bit that really made people reject the return, and rightfully so.

the woman who heckled louis székely is my hero

I never watched his show, nor have I ever listened to a stand up routine of his. He has never appealed to me. The only thing I've ever seen with his name tagged on it is One Mississippi, and it was a producer credit only. But he was not actually involved in production, and that show even had a story line that made reference to his behavior.

He's a great comedian. Some of the best stand up specials I've seen. But he was a super dick to people and then seemed to not care about how it affected others. Can't support that.













reminds me of someone else...

I was devastated. I love Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne. I'm going to see Stephanie perform with Wild Horses in Boston this weekend!

That will be awesome. Wild horses are great.

Yeah, I listened to every episode of their podcast The Perspective, so when they announced an East Coast tour I was all over it.
