personally I think his previous laugh was fake, but even if it wasn't, he's allowed to learn (quickly) that a joke meant something more than he'd accounted for, then act on it

You commented before that it makes no difference to you whether he had fallen and knocked his head on something. It's violence.

vi·o·lence
/ˈvī(ə)ləns/

noun
behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.

one day you might learn to debate the morality of when and where violence and force is and isn't an appropriate response to antagonism, instead of just posting definitions from Google

I think people expected me to be a pacifist and they're surprised that I'm not

No joke deserves a slap. Put all sorts of other words in your endless posts, but you can’t get around this.

lol, I can easily get around this

Still waiting.

In their dreams Will Smith and Chris Rock could not have wished for 50+ pages of RM discussion about their stunt.

You said it's not violence. According to the definition of the word, it is violence.

there are many different definitions and understandings and interpretations of words, friend; it could be described as violence according to one, absolutely; I think that's ridiculous

It was an act of physical force intended to harm another person. That simple. The morality of when and where it is applied is another issue.

Chris Rock wasn't lastingly harmed in any way; he's laughing about this

the "other issue" isn't one you care about, we've established that

sure, he could have been more or less violent... still violence though

I do care about morality, though.. what on earth gave you the idea that I didn't? I am appalled by Will Smith.

unless Spike can find me definitive, objective and scientific reasoning to prove beyond all doubt that "no joke deserves a slap", I'm perfectly happy with my own feelings on the matter

I was really hoping for more than "boys rational / objective; girl irrational / emotional", but you took it there, nice

uhh.. did i say that? lmao, you are irrational, but not necessarily because of your sex or gender or skin color or anything

we've been over this... you refuse to walk us through your thought process. You say feelings trump all. If someone feels victimized, they have been victimized, right?
