Having explained that he had not, in fact, weighed in on the rape-joke debate, C.K. proceeded to weigh in on the rape-joke debate, striking a magnanimous note that sounded more combative than it was. Just like outraged bloggers, he said, comedians are ?uneducated, unfettered? traffickers in ?hyperbole and garbage.? And whereas feminists, ?stereotypically speaking, can?t take a joke,? comedians ?can?t take criticism?comedians are big pussies.? In summation: ?I think you should listen. When you?if somebody has the opposite feeling from me, I want to hear it so I can add to mine.? Comedy-game Hegel! This is the animating dialectical impulse beneath some of C.K.?s best bits, both onstage?where he switches from perspective to perspective, rarely content to let one voice or point of view dominate for long?and on his television show, where Louie is regularly thrust, and thrusts himself, into charged encounters well outside his comfort zone with other people: Staten Island bullies, Harlem supermarket cashiers, anti-masturbation advocates, studly Miami lifeguards, Dane Cook, and on and on.
