Will Smith slaps and yells at Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars

[Kairi HoHo]

Cool let’s make it ok to smack a comedian. Dude literally was turned into a cuck on National tv by this women and then he laughed at the joke until she side eyed him. It’s bullshit unstable behavior resulting from a clearly toxic relationship. But why should Rock get smacked and also apologize? Naaaa he took the hit and said ok I deserve that and then didn’t press charges. This whole thing is fuckin stupid…. Comedians getting assaulted for their jokes is fucking ludicrous… Dice was the biggest comedian on the planet and he destroyed his audience.

Oh for sure I would say Will smacking him was wrong but do we know what Will and Jada are going through right now maybe it's the Straw that broke the Camel's Back and that is what happened. Oh and I've been in the situation when I've been personally attacked by family verbally and yeah you smile and try to bottle in the hurt and eventually you react and sometimes in the wrong way. I can't believe not one person here on Smarks in life hasn't had made a mistake or done something they have regret and had atone for it. A growing moment I say.

I’ve made 1000 mistakes in my life and paid the dues for them my man. Please don’t try to the moral barometer of this place HoHo and let’s just move on.

Let's do that because were on opposite ends of things with this and I already see this going to a place no one wants it to go.

Context matters. Is that person bald because of a sickness? Or because they just want to be? Or what? Because if it’s because of some sickness, then Will is just as wrong as Chris was. If it’s a personal choice and they wanted to be, then it’s different.

One rich dude slaps another rich dude and middle class people fighting about it is now my favorite genre of the internet

Most men don't go bald out of choice. The point is. Jokes are jokes. Comedians make jokes. If we start selectively deciding what comedians - in a theatre setting can make jokes about - then comedy is dead.

I agree to a point, but they are some things that need to be off limits. Now I’m not going to try and decide what should or shouldn’t be, but imo medical conditions should be off limits, unless the person they are about is fine with it. Like I know I wouldn’t want people making fun of my depression, surely on a bad day where I already feel at a low point. So you be fine with someone doing that to me? Since nothing should be off limits?

pretty sure will apologized so why are we even still defending people we dont know here lol

From what I've learned these last two days, comedians are allowed to say whatever they want and you have to laugh

Or you're allowed to hit them for anything they say if you want

There is no universe where Will shouldn't have hit Chris and the joke was also in poor taste, that is simply blasphemy. Pick a damn side

I pick the side of fuck em both. Joke was bad and Will shouldn’t have slapped him either. But I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same. as most people would probably defend their S/O if they saw something upset them. Love does that shit to you.

In this scenario - like many award ceremonies, The MC or host roasts the guests - which are normally celebrities. Generally comedians use everything to make a joke - in this case it was an actual Movie based joke. Celebrities should expect to be roasted.

If say you replaced Chris Rock - with I don't know lets say Awkwafina made the jokes instead. And Will slapped her - we would be hearing a very different story. People generally resort to violence - if they think they can get away with it.​

fwiw the joke was tame a.f but thats just my opinion. people are entitle to think the joke sucked however and thats fine. just dont endorse violence lol
