JCC Senate Arena Census was it ok for Will Smith to slap Chris Rock in the face

low-hanging fruit

everything is binary so make your choice

 

This was my favourite scene in Titanic.

 

You made this thread because I liked your post from yesterday about it, didn't you?

If you hadn't, I would have done it myself.

 

”Slap ice, can you? Bloody Christ!”

 

Where's the "no, but it's not that big of a deal" option?

 

Abstain.

 

Yep

 

*Nicole Kidman scream*

 

Are we voting about slapping him in the face or slapping him in the low-hanging fruit? Because those are very different attacks.

 

Well, the "joke" was a low blow already, so eye for an eye?

 

how low does the fruit hang

 

An eye for an eye would be a joke at Chris Rock's family's expense.

 

You took my comment waaaaaaaay too seriously.

 

This reminds me to reply to Vivic’s incredibly bad take in the other thread

 

We should have more polls.

 

Ok.

 

Honestly, the ripples are still being felt. For instance, now this post exists:

 

Awwww! You are too kind.

 

Yes, it was ok. I would like to see that happen more often.

 

You want to see more celebrities physically attack each other during awards shows? What does that achieve?

 

There could be a controlled chaos with the slapping, sitting back down, then yelling. It achieves freedom of expression. Will Smith had a right to express himself. The network censors could have carted him away, but why? People need room to breathe. Give them the room they need to breathe.

 

Lebensraum.

Are you suggesting a system? When would I get my slap privilege back after using it?

Physically attacking someone for making an offensive joke isn't "expression".
