    Here is why I’m not outraged

    Comedy, laughing at something, is a way of coping with pain. We are human. We are frail. This can make for pain. Instead of choosing hypocrisy and trying to hide his weakness by paying his blackmailer—doesn’t the cover-up usually reek worse than what’s being covered?—he paid the higher price of exposing his weakness. Because he’s a comedian and his show is all about comedy, he used comedy when he announced to the world that he’s human, he’s frail, and he’s in pain.

    I’m a fan of his, and I’m offended by the suggestion that I wouldn’t care if he sodomized girls. Not only that, I’m offended that you would compare sodomizing girls with having consensual relationships with adult women (which at this point is what I’m assuming happened based on the limited information available so far).
