There are several threads on my Twitter feed about this.

1. I was a big fan

but this

[TeamPooka]

11. I say FU, CK.

14. Looks like hes trying to gear towards an audience that would accept him

As a sexual assaulter.

2. As far as I'm concerned he should suffer the same fate as Michael Richards...

and not only for this current routine but also for this one that recently resurfaced.

Oh, and btw, Chris Rock was traded by the AA team in the racial draft for Jerry Seinfeld.

4. I saw that too

Seinfeld made the most salient point by stating he never saw the humor in it or sought it out. Chris Rock got deservedly roasted for it. Jerry looked really uncomfortable. The whole segment is cringeworthy on many levels.

3. I was a huge fan.

Saw him live.

Was gonna see him again.

Until...

5. Never watched him... but I have loved "Better Things" which he co-produced, co-wrote and directed.

I don't understand how the person so involved in creating that show could do the other (abhorrent) things he has done.

15. People are complex, aren't they?

Sometimes a person does important and valuable things in their life but because of one part of their personality, they become pariahs.

Others get away with their misbehavior without ever being held responsible. While still others do many good things but get tarred by something that is questionable.

It's very complex and often seems unbalanced or unfair. Nonetheless, that's the way things roll in our world.

6. also it doesn't seem like L CK ever grew out of those things he says he did when he was young

and still has the obsession with sex .

7. After watching the Marvelous Mrs. Marvel, I'm inclined to give comedians more latitude...

...and less judgment.

I don't have to think its funny, but I'm not going to condemn them for pushing decorum.

[TeamPooka]

8. The issues with CK are not his material but the masturbation he did in front of women he

was working with where he was the more famous and powerful in the business relationship.

[nolabear]

9. This time it's the material. It's odious.

I’m not real sensitive but damn.

[TeamPooka]

10. the man is a scumbag. He always has been. I wouldn't let him on any stage

[edhopper]

19. I agree

I get what he is trying for here. He tries to find something funny in things that generally wouldn't be.
That has always been part of his comedy, "How can I make ______ funny".
But considering his personal behavior has made him persona non grata, he shouldn't be making fun of vulnerable members of society, like trans gender or shooting victims.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. FUCK. HIM.

[Laffy Kat]

13. I honestly used to think he was courageous, honest and funny.

Until now. I'm a lost fan and I will never watch him again.

[Voltaire2]

16. On tour with Dennis Miller.

[oberliner]

17. What were his jokes like before?

[edhopper]

20. He always

tried to push comedy into areas that wouldn't normally be funny. But I think the problem here is the target of the humor is trans gender and shooting survivors.

On "Curb Your Enthusiasm" Larry David has made many sensitive subjects funny, but he does it in a way that does not make fun of victims.
