Interesting speculation, is it based on anything at all?

Louis CK was highly criticized for going back on tour by the same people that criticized him for the sexual misconduct he admitted to in 2017.

Pretty big difference between saying something inappropriate during a comedic performance and jacking off in front of non-consenting people.
And one similarity: Louis CK is still highly criticized for going back on tour by the same people that criticized him 5-7 years ago. That is what was being discussed, scroll up to learn more.
How is it a similarity if it's only happened to one of them? Chappelle hasn't been criticized after 5-7 years for returning to stand up.

You can't ignore why someone is being criticized when discussing whether other people who are being criticized for different reasons will be treated the same way.

How many people are mad at Joe Rogan on this issue at this moment? None, they're all on Chappelle right now, it'll be someone else soon.

One other note, on CK, I wonder the overlap between people who want him punished forever and those who support rehabilitation of actual felons.

Joe Rogan's comments keep coming up in the context of discussion of this issue in recent news; many people are still mad. You've picked a poor example.

Interesting opinion, it doesn't change the fact that many people are still mad about Rogan's comments.

"Many" people is a weasel word, a couple dozen could qualify.

It's only an issue for the media-addicted and those who fill airtime for a living.

You seriously reply with two more links to yellow journalism. I can't tell if you're trolling or not, but that's three strikes, you're out.
