@GF There’s also something to be said for the difference, however slight, between someone saying and believing something horrendous vs doing something horrendous.
If Cosby’s bullshit came out after his death, it would still have a stronger impact in my view because it was something he did. The same with Jimmy Saville, for the UK audience.
-
@Pavel It’s a mixed bag, though.
Arguably no one is going to be more inclined to rape women because of what Cosby did.
But there might be people who feel encouraged to be bigots because a comedian normalized racism, homophobia, etc and brought together like-minded crowds so they feel more comfortable among their own tribe.

Oh, absolutely, I was speaking more towards the visceral reaction to the information rather than any kind of mimicry.

Man, just proves that you can never tell what someone is really feeling inside. If there was anyone who seemed to have ‘made it’, it was him. I remember watching him on SYTYCD and he took off from there.
