History Creator / LouisCK

-->'''Louis:''' Whenever a white lady on Creator/{{CNN}} with nice hair says "the n-word", that's just white people gettin' away with sayin' "nigger". That's all it is. They found a way to say "nigger". "N-word!" It's bullshit, 'cause when you say "the n-word", you put the word "nigger" ''in the listener's head''. That's what saying a word ''is''. You say "the n-word", I go "Oh, she means 'nigger'." You're makin' ''me'' say it in my head! Why don't ''you'' fuckin' say it instead, and take responsiblity for the shitty words you wanna say?

* AManIsAlwaysEager: Despite everything he's said under AllMenArePerverts above, he has said that it ''is'' actually possible for a man to not be in the mood to have sex... but he'll still do it anyway if a woman is offering, [[ADateWithRosiePalms forcing himself to have an erection if he must]]. A man ''never'' turns down sex out of sheer principle.

On November 9, 2017, the ''New York Times'' published [[https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/09/arts/television/louis-ck-sexual-misconduct.html an article that detailed cases of alleged sexual misconduct that C.K. committed from the late 1990s to 2005.]] From the fallout, C.K. lost his production deal with [[Creator/FXNetworks FX]] and was dropped by longtime talent agency 3Arts. [[https://www.theringer.com/tv/2017/11/9/16630850/louis-ck-sexual-misconduct-allegations The next day, he publicly confirmed the allegations.]] He got himself into further hot water the following August when he did an unannounced stand-up set at the Comedy Cellar in New York, leading to a debate over whether or not he had truly atoned for his sins in that short amount of time. Months later, a leaked audio recording of a stand-up act surfaced where he made jokes about gender identity as well as the victims and survivors of the Parkland school shooting, which led to both sides of said debate uniting in [[DudeNotFunny condemning him]].

* AllMenArePerverts: Along with AllWomenArePrudes. In ''Live at the Beacon Theater'' he says that the reason why these two tropes are TruthInTelevision is because [[SexGoddess women are great at sex]] while men are terrible at it.

* StrawmanPolitical: Louis can't ''stand'' people with anti-gay views, they inevitably come up at least once per show (however, in keeping with his stance on AcceptableTargets, he's got no problem with mocking gays himself, either).

While C.K.'s career seems to have slowly recovered after self-releasing his 2020 special ''Sincerely Louis C.K.'' to mostly positive reviews (at least according to Website/RottenTomatoes) on top of receiving a [[UsefulNotes/GrammyAward Grammy]] for Best Comedy Album, time will tell if it can result in a [[CareerResurrection full career comeback]].
