Oh, I was asking because it seem like you were implying there was some sort of consensus with this line...

The joke was written by one of the Oscar's writers. 90% chance is a white man.
It was an award show to recognize achievements not a comedy show what you talking about lol...
He put him on notice before to keep Jada name out his mouth and he kept pushing it. Pure disrespect.
I see how you feel about your wife though
Honestly, I didn't even watch the show... Did Seth/Chaz/Chip have something in the chamber for Will or just the Black woman?
I've been to plenty comedy shows. Idk why you keep saying comedy show... This was an awards ceremony

Once again, GI Jane/bald head is no where approaching edgy. It's an innocuous, PG rated joke. Do you genuinely think that one liner was offensive?
Maybe we just have a different perspective on this. That's a PG joke in my eyes. Maybe it's "edgy" to you (and Will apparently).

Willard really slapped this man, sat down, threatened him, was then....consoled? like he was the one who got slapped, won an award, apologized to everyone but the man he slapped and received a standing ovation

I just mean for the people who are going with the joke justified a physical response line of reasoning.
tbh i don't think there's a real consensus on this whole thing.
seems like there are multiple factions

My wife would slap me like Will did Chris if I ever got up in a big event and in front of everyone slapped someone and then proceeded to shout f bombs at the top of my lungs because someone said something to insult my wife. Think: a big event like say a wedding or graduation ceremony.

Chris Rock is in Boston touring all week and already sold more tickets in 12 hours than he did the past month
When do the shows start? If he cracks a Jada/Will joke, I'll know last night was real.

Since we're this far, do yall think she would capitalize from a j.i.jane movie?

I'm just rubbed the wrong way by the expectation that Will was somehow obligated to do what he did because of gender roles. Jada was never a damsel in distress, and I believe she's strong enough as a person to handle this on her own.
There also has to be something that exists in the grey area between doing nothing and assaulting someone over some words.

THIS. Dudes in here saying it's either joining Chris and laughing at his own wife or assault. Stoneface/eyeroll/head shake would've been a perfect reaction.

People need to be touched
Bring back the source awards
It’s funny seeing the crowd that always talks about how “back in the day” was better/realer and How human interactions & consequences to disrespect are not happening anymore because of the internet/social media……now applauding Chris Rock for not reacting in a way that is pure respectability politics..while demonizing Will Smith for doing what they claim would be appropriate. It’s wild.
Will felt played, and reacted accordingly. He was wrong, but I get it. Chris Rock went out sad. But whatever, that’s kinda him at this point. Letting a dude slap you in your face, is “a slap in the face”
That phrase means something for a reason.
Months ago it was “jada disrespecting will” “will the laughing stock” now that basically greased a n_ in the public domain, it’s a problem.
People so wishy washy. He gave the spectators what they wanted. Now, they don’t want it
fickle

-Once again? Famb I have no idea what you are even trying to argue now. A second ago you said Will should have been prepared for the jokes, and suggesting if he had a problem he should have stayed his *** at home
-If Rock didn't know about her condition, not really. Even though I would not have made a joke about a black woman's hair in public myself
If he did know, yeah, it is offensive. That adds another dynamic to it.
- I think it is completely fair for Jada and Will to take offense to it. Even though I wished Will would have checked Rock differently if he was upset
