Amazed at the racial discourse around this specifically as if black men are going around giving open hand slaps all the time and effete white nobility (which these two are pretty close to being the modern equivalent of) over centuries didn't turn the slap into the standard punishment for disrespect. Last time a slap was this culturally revelant it was on an episode of How I Met Your Mother

thrawn527 posted:The thing is, it's THE OSCARS! WHEN HOLLYWOOD COMES OUT TO PARTY! It's supposed to be the most "glitz and glam" night of the year for Hollywood. Someone walking up and slapping someone else during it just isn't "supposed to happen". Which is dumb, but also why it's so shocking to people. The nice, pretty people of Hollywood got dressed up all fancy, and then one of them smacked another one of them on stage. Like, he got out of the audience, up on stage, and just smacked him. Which is not, sorry for borrowing a phrase, "part of the plan". I guess me being a person who doesn't care about the Oscars is part of the reason I can't wrap my head around the "big deal" part of the whole thing. My brain just defaults to seeing it the way I would a conflict between two regular people without context or celebrity factoring into it. Like, yeah it's lovely to hit people, but when you intentionally say provocative poo poo in order to get an emotional reaction sometimes you're going to be on the receiving end of a pissed off emotional reaction. Just have both dudes apologize for crossing a line and move on with their lives the way normal people do. Wittgen posted:They shouldn't take the Oscar away but they should give him a statue in a slapping pose and insist that the statuettes always be displayed together. Okay but that's an awesome thing to have and if you give him that literally every other celebrity will want a "Slappy" too and thus the great slap wars will begin. teagone posted:Crossposting from the fighting game thread: This is art.

The best outcome to this debacle is that Jada actually star in GI Jane 2 The joke isn't even that mean spirited, I mean isn't the whole point that Demi Moore is a badass female soldier Also wasn't Jada's last major film role General Niobe anyway, she is playing military commanders

Whether she was looking for it or not the point is it was harmless. Hence Rock's rightful incredulity "it was GI Jane joke".

It was specifically a joke about how it is “funny” when a woman is bald. It’s “funny” because baldness in women is especially rare and therefor freakish

Chris Rock made a documentary about cultural perceptions of black women's hair (and how that affects them) like a decade ago, so he is not someone who can pretend he didn't know what buttons he was pushing.

There's a difference between shaving one's head and balding, and you can't make that joke without drawing direct attention to Pinkett-Smith's alopecia, of which she has publicly opened up about having fears and insecurities about. "... My hair has been a big part of me. Taking care of my hair has been a beautiful ritual, you know? And having the choice to have hair or not, and then one day to be like, ‘Oh, my God, I might not have the choice.'" KVeezy3 fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Mar 29, 2022 |

I'm willing to eat poo poo on this comment because I'm white AF, but it was also kind of bizarre to make a jab about a Black lady with a shaved head because that's not that unusual. Not that it would be okay if she was a different race, but I didn't know about Jada's condition, and she didn't look out of the ordinary to me. I have friends and coworkers who have chosen to go pretty close to shaved. I feel like with the context after the fact it felt kinda hard to not to feel like he knew about the condition was being actively lovely. But then again, the whole, "Javier you're gonna sleep on the couch if you win and Penelope doesn't! WOKA WOKA" bit points to Rock just kinda being a hack these days.

Wolfsheim posted:Hmmm....would you say most victims of assault were asking for it by mouthing off Why are you interpreting some context about why that joke was extra lovely as a defense of Smith? Some folks in this thread have been acting like what he said wasn't that bad, but Chris Rock, producer and star of Good Hair, had a lot more reason than the average male celebrity to know that he could be poking at a sore spot. That doesn't mean he should have been slapped for it, but do we really have to add a bunch of caveats to any criticism of Rock now?

Insulting someone's medical condition under the guise of humor is low-rent by any comedic standard. More so if the person is being insulted in front of thousands of their peers on live TV. That at the very least, is well deserving of a smack upside the head lmao.

Ai-yai-yai, the pearl clutching about a mediocre joke compared to the normalisation of violence is genuinely odd. As is claiming Chris Rock's joke is sexist without considering the gender implications of what Will Smith did. Will Smith was publicly humiliated in the public consciousness with the August Alsina 'entanglements' debacle, with memes galore about him being a cuck. Attacking Chris Rock and the tirade "leave my wife's name out of it" (notably the emphasis being on the possessive quality of it - a male ego contest - not calling her 'Jada' etc.,) was an unleashing of that and a projection of trying to be an alpha male, meanwhile looking insecure and out of control instead. Women are capable of speaking for themselves - men punching other men for violating their 'possessions' because the other men joked about them, is not a good thing to encourage. If Jada Pinkett-Smith was upset with the joke, she could have spoke out afterwards etc., using her own voice. Instead Will robbed her of that in an act of violent narcissism. "It's the role of men to protect women by beating up men who make jokes about women, who should never be joked about" is not a progressive attitude.
