Do you think the old guy in Louis CKs "Horace and Pete" possibly inspired by Uncle Jr of The Sopranos? (self.asklemmy)

It kinda sucks that although what he didnwas objectively shitty, the fact he even did what victims constantly ask for consequently (beyond damages and in some sense more fundamentally) which is to affirm the harm the abuser committed against them and everybody treated that as no different than Harvey Weinstein. He is kinda more accountable and forseeably exposed himself to further liabillity when he could have denied it all Trump-style...

I just dunno anymore. Like don't pull shit in the first place and be a pest, but how is redemption and reintegration ever possible for all involved in this current legal and cultural millieu. The apostle Paul fucking murdered and in thr multiple sense and he's revered doing what CK tried which was to admit and change his ways ostenisbly.
