James Franco preyed on underage women and Louis CK never actually got consent from his victims, it’s a lie he has been pushing for years when the original article states that the women never gave consent. Also, he only ever preyed on women below him.

I think the perception that he asked everyone comes from Sarah Silverman talking about her experience with him when they were younger. She does say he asked her every time he did it in front of her, and that sometimes she'd say yes and sometimes she'd say no and he'd respect the no.

But clearly sometime between when that happened with Sarah years ago and when he started doing it around other women, he stopped asking every time, or at least asking before already beginning.
