Was Will Smith right or wrong?

@MoonMoon okay. Well im going to make a cruel joke about one of your biggest insecurities in front of you and your husband/father/brother/some male who cares deeply about you, and in front of millions of people.

Lets see how that plays out.

@Eternity lets see, may i slap you every time you say something i dont like ?

@Eternity That's literally every comedy show. Peoples insecurities have always been joked about. Small dick jokes, short man jokes, fat people jokes, trans jokes. By the way what exactly did Chris say that warranted such a response? GI Jane? A god damn movie?

@MoonMoon yes you may! Thats the whole point!

Free speech doesn't mean you are free from repercussions.

So yeah, you have every right to initiate a fist fight if you so choose. Because that is an occupational hazard that is intrinsic to talking shit 🤷🏽‍♂️

@SW-User if that is as deeply as you can see into that joke then conversation between we two is pointless tbh.

Woosh.

@MoonMoon

Totally agree that violence is absolutely unacceptable. However, although I know what you mean when you sarcastically say...

[quote][i]lets see, may i slap you every time you say something i dont like ?[/i][/quote]

...women today slap, hit, and punch men (who don't defend themselves after saying something they don't like) but it's the man and not the woman who gets charged with assault and battery and thrown in jail? Think about that.

@Eternity this is not a matter of free speech but how we treat art and satire as a society.

@MoonMoon that wasn't art it was rude and so he got his rude ass slapped.

So if i call your mother a fucking whore but im an artist and consider that to be my masterpiece does that mean im immune to ire and any repercussions thereof?

Respect is foundational to community. It is more important than art and satire .

@Eternity he called her gi jane... you clearly just a hate driven moron that has no idea what he is talking about.

@MoonMoon no, im someone who has a spine and therefore understands the thought processes of my fellow vertebrates.

You and all the other jellyfish had better keep our names out of your mouths if we are present. Take this as a lesson.

The internet cannot protect you in real life so stick to talking shit on the web.

I don't dislike chris rock. Hell, I love his work and he is a decent person.

He merely stepped out of line and got corrected. It happens to us all sometimes. End of story. Move on.

@Eternity u are advertising violence over words... that makes you a really petty person

@MoonMoon bet you wouldn't say that to my face though 😛 (im an artist so you cant get offended by this rude jest)

@Eternity i would absolutely say that toyour face... and you would hit me right... well answering violence with violence is ok then

@MoonMoon

Now you're beginning to understand.

The time for dialog and peace is [i]before[/i] disrespect has occured. [i]After[/i] disrespect has been launched, it is up to the offended party whether they want to hear your dialog, or if they would prefer to fight you for your insolence.

You cant use your words to insult someone but then try and talk your way out of it after the fact. That is punk shit.

If you're commited to peace then you'd better speak like you are. Don't speak fighting words then try to sing a hymn when it's time to throw down.

@Eternity no.. you are a vile person that propably should get locked up for being a problematic sociopath.

@MoonMoon no, you are a weak person who is rubbed the wrong way by the idea that you can be hit for being disrespectful. It scares you to think someone may test how tough you think you are.

@Eternity you talking about respect but you have apparently zero respect for others... you are just a lousy savage

@MoonMoon im disrespecting you because you disrespected me first. Retaliation.

I know the concept is foreign to you, i suppose you think that i should just accept your insults lying down.

You need to find a softer target if that is what you want.

Sometimes humour is offensive!@MoonMoon

@Wiseacre sure it is... it even has to be. but thats something completely different then violence. there is no justification to react to words with volence, ever. if someone starts physical violence then all bets are off... no rules... shoot em.. poison their kids and families... salt their lands...
