sexual domination**

Can this convo maybe be moved to the "seriously, what the fucking fuck is wrong with Gawker?" thread?

j0rdan, if it turned out that this definitely was not true, how would you feel about having published the article? does the name "defamer" tell me all i need to know or is that just cheeky and ironic?
― Treeship, Sunday, 17 May 2015 14:12 (nine years ago) link
he did a long bit about child molestation on SNL and then did a skit about sexually domination --J0rdan S.
he's also done bits about giving his dead body up not for science but to be beaten or molested by people in order to vent preexisting trauma, so I guess that's evidence too if this is
...that said, I have a bad feeling that this latest allegation is true
― slothroprhymes, Sunday, 17 May 2015 14:24 (nine years ago) link
i wasn't saying that those snl bits are supporting evidence that he's a creep -- he has plenty of other material that would let you draw that conclusion if you wanted to (i.e. he tried to rape a woman on his tv show)
i was just noting that it was funny
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 May 2015 14:29 (nine years ago) link
Jordan knows it's real bc of his psychic mutant powers but he can't tell us that or he'll fuck up his secret identity and put all of Gawker at risk. That's the only reason he needs another human to confirm it guys. Jeez.

i mean, if i wrote a story saying a person talked to someone and they didn't then that's a huge problem. but i trust my source on this or else we wouldn't have run it. and louis' rep had an opportunity to flat deny the story before we published it and declined to do that (and i haven't heard from them since).
as for whether it's "true" that he has a reputation for being a creep at best and a serial sexual harasser at worst, i've received dozens of emails this weekend that make me feel confident that i did not mischaracterize him/his reputation

knows what is "real"? -- we were very upfront in the story about what we do and don't know
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 17 May 2015 14:37 (nine years ago) link
No don't worry I totally get it now and I'm on board. It's not journalism precisely, it's journalism entertainment and Louie is just taking a bump.

Is this show still any good? I was a flag waving fan early on, but I think I just stopped watching during that Hungarian girl arc a season ago. Show seemed to be getting weaker and weaker as it went on.
Right after the Hungarian girl was the 90-minute movie-story with Jeremy Renner as a drug dealer, and that was a new high for the show.

Mordy’s right, if a beloved comedian is suspected of repeatedly sexually assaulting women, the media definitely has an obligation to just let it blow over without looking into it too much. if the controversy is meant to be, it’ll come back around in a decade or so.

why doesn't the NYT attribute more stories to my anonymous cousin's fiancee? it's for the greater good it doesn't matter if it's true.

lol you guys. i guess keep your fingers crossed you don't get burnt by a bad source on a big story that just needs to be told even w/out confirmation (cf RS), and that if it does happen, you aren't sued for too much.

I have zero problems at all believing Louis is capable of this and completely understand why the women who've been on the other end of it might not want to put a name to these stories. The Rolling Stone situation poisoned a lot of things, but there's almost always truth behind open secrets like this.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 18 May 2015 05:48 (nine years ago) link
yes, def. still don't know if it's responsible to publish this with only anonymous tips.
― Treeship, Monday, 18 May 2015 07:17 (nine years ago) link
*secondhand tips, sorry
Jordan are you seriously citing routines from Louis CK’s standup and plots from his TV show as corroborating evidence? or are you joking?
if the former, it would be very hard to trust your intelligence and judgment about anything, including the credibility (or lack thereof) of the anonymous accusations you’ve now published online.
if may very well be that Louis CK is a lech and a harrasser, but it won’t be because he writes about those things.
good riddance to the whole strain of "journalism" you represent. i hope you are well paid, at least.

Something so weird about this way of doing a piece---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SDZI heard about this from a friend who lives in la, does stand up, and writes for grantland about two years ago. He was explaining why he couldn't watch the show anymore

hey guys, whoa, watch out. you know that if you oppose gawker it means you are supporting men's rights hate groups?
― Treeship, Monday, 18 May 2015 14:42 (nine years ago) link
that's how it works. there are just two positions.
I'm sure you're just abiding by Gawker's sub-tabloid rules in these instances Jordan, but man is it creepy/disgusting. Either you've got a substantive story or you haven't. This makes it look like you're hell bent on bringing down CK but don't have enough facts at hand to pull it off.

He's reaching out for free, anonymous tips in such a way that it seems to be preventing certain people from coming forward on the issue he's covering though. Surely that's not a good thing if these allegations are true? Anyway Whiney, didn't you work with Jordan at Spin? Seems unlikely you'd remain impartial on this thing.
