Are you not not going to watch the Oscars this year?

I think a LOT of "functioning adults" without Hollywood privilege are saying "I would have done that too"

[Mickey]

A lot of functioning adults are saying "I would have stormed the stage, approached famous comedian Chris Rock, slapped him on live TV, and then cried about it during my Best Actor acceptance speech?" Weird.

awww

he is super sincere! all is forgiven

LOVE

[LetMeSleep]

If anyone else had done it they would have been removed from the ceremony (as I wish WS had been).

How is it that Howard Stern seems to be the voice of reason here?

And that room of people have been silent when so many other crimes have been committed (as Ricky Gervais so bluntly pointed out). Self serving, sycophantic bunch of shites.

I don't buy for a single second that Will's act wasn't one of a lucid, intelligent adult; his apology is an honorable act for someone of his position, but he was right and I'd support that slap again

[Mickey]

Normalize *clap* hitting *clap* comedians *clap*

well most people wouldn't have had an acceptance speech

but I don’t blame him for crying because someone insulted his wife, I don't understand why that's a bad thing to do?

comedians have normalized being cruel to people for fucking decades, but bring a wittle hand into it and it's bad

I'm sorry that something you've come to expect hasn't happened for you today

Even Will Smith acknowledges he was way out of line and his behaviour was unacceptable.

Do you think he doesn't mean it?

Sure, and I imagine they would do it even with the knowledge that they'd be (rightfully) mocked and criticized for their childish outburst, but the tragedy is they would probably have to face real consequences unlike Will

its about having the same visceral reaction to seeing your wife look the way his wife looked. seeing pain in your wife's eyes and wanting to do something about it. its doesnt matter where you are or what you are doing when you feel something like that. thats what is relatable.

Read that post again, bub--it's sincere.

[Ms Harmless]

I think he's being very honourable for apologising; I'm sure he means that punching a comedian wasn't the best course of action, but I'm also sure that he's written that apology under immense pressure to act "properly" as a celebrity

This is just unbelievable to me.

Someone’s offended by words and batters another person, and the violence is justified because of what’s said.

There’s a reason we tell two year olds to “use your words.”

It has been truly wild to watch this slap morph from an act of anti-ableist resistance to something every normal person understands and relates to.
