All the Louis C.K. thinkpieces about whether he *ought* to be allowed to resurrect his career presuppose that anyone can actually stop that from happening

He is the best stand-up comic in the world

It's pretty hard to ban people from doing standup

"No one should hire him!"

He works for himself and puts on his own shows

"No one should let him perform at their club!"

There are thousands of comedy clubs and venues, many of them need the money

"No one should go to his shows!"

He's the BEST IN THE WORLD at standup
Matt Lauer's business was dependent on a major network retaining him for its morning program

Bill O'Reilly's business was dependent on a major news network retaining him for commentary

Louis C.K.'s business is dependent on...people laughing at his jokes?
The funniest stand-up in the world is going to find a friendly venue and put butts in seats even after a horrifying scandal

Really, the only way to stop that from happening is to see him convicted of a crime

There's no double standard, he's just uniquely robust to scandal
