Cancel culture vs bitch slap culture

Postby origami_itto on Mon Mar 28, 2022 8:01 am

Some people and comedians have been complaining lately they feel like they can't make any jokes without offending some disenfranchised group with more power than they should have and getting cancelled.

What about if, to make them happy, we just start handing out bitch slaps when they cross a line?

At the Oscars Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinket's hair. She has some medical condition that caused her to have to shave her head.

Her husband, Will Smith, walked right up on to the stage and delivered a resounding bitch slap with pretty decent form, though for all the movement I'd hope whoever I did that too would have been on the ground.

I think it's an effective way to get the point across, thoughts?

AKA "Lack of emotional maturity vs lack of physical self-control"... Could do without acting like either a spoiled child, or a violent child. Both "cultures" are, basically, an ego out of control.

Why do you want to make these multi-millionaires happy?

I don't have time for the very few, they never had time for me and you.

Personally, I thought it was hilarious.

But ultimately this will be a joke on everyone else as these two multi-millionaires use it to get even richer.

Will Smith needs to kick that harpy wife of his to the curb and stop being cucked. But Rock now has a good decade's worth of material to work on.

The internet mems practically write themselves.

Who the fuck cares? I don't care about the Oscars, just like I don't care about celebrity deaths any more than any other death.

Cares is a strong word. The spectacle is amusing and frankly I'm always a fan of people getting manners smacked into them.

Hands have +10 holy damage

But yeah, Rickie Gervais' last act said it all when it comes to celebrities IMO.

You order, you pay. It's a simple concept and easy to understand. -shrug-

Chris Rock had been asked more than once previous to this incident to stop singling out members of the Smith family as the brunt of his tasteless 'jokes'. He chose to ignore these requests. :o

So, although I don't applaud Will Smith's inappropriate response, it seems to me that Chris should have reasonably expected that he would be held accountable and directly confronted at some point.

That said, Jada was essentially embarrassed twice by what occurred. She may have preferred to address the issue with Rock in her own time and in her own way following the event, away from the eyes and ears of millions. :-\

There were several aspects of what I saw in that incident which raised suspicious questions in my mind.

Firstly, I would have thought that the power of a forward moving, full on slap to the side of the face from a man of Will Smith's size would produce a greater physical affect on Chris Rock's body. But even if Will didn't hit him as hard as he could, an unexpected physical assault usually generates some kind of defensive reaction in most guys, if not an angry counterstrike response as well.

Chris displayed neither. He didn't step backwards or recoil in any way, and didn't make any effort to defend himself whatsoever. He simply accepted the slap and continued on with the show as if it was nothing.

Additionally, security personnel were nowhere to be seen and no charges were filed. All of which made me wonder if the entire incident hadn't been staged in order to generate publicity for a program which has had an increasingly smaller viewership and tanking ratings for many years time. Hmmm! -shrug-

Yes, they said they have an open marriage on their reality TV show. Will was laughing until his wife gave him that look. Then, my guess is Will slapped Chris to save face.

Chris leaned forward like Floyd Mayweather, then moved only his upper body to avoid the unexpected slap. He did not roll back (lu) by shifting his weight to the back foot. Head movement by moving the whole body provides more distance.

At first, I thought it was a joke, because of the distance and angle they were at. Will was trying to do Ali's 'Phantom Punch' (slap), since he played him in Ali (2001). However, Will keeps his weight on the back foot, the angle he's punching at is wrong and he is further away than Ali.

in the first place, I'm not really sure how Will Smith or his wife is offended.
Both are professional actors and the joke was about his wife starring in a film about a strong female breaking
gender boundaries, at an event held by the premier association of the film industry.

Second, does Jada really have a skin/hair condition? her hair and scalp looks fine to me.
if her scalp was suffering from any condition, one would expect he to cover it with a scarf.

Third, Will as a husband may have the right to take offence; if that's the case just taking the whole family
and walking out while Chris Rock is still on stage would let everyone know your displeasure. Afterall, you should
know the you're in a event hosted by the Academy.

Last, sure it's easy to say "peace", not place for violence". By the same token, I also could say that there should
not be any place for assholes. So, my question is when can a man rightfully defend the honor of his family?
For some assholes, violence is the only language they understand.
