Writers and online commenters’ desperation to somehow frame this as an antagonistic white vs black racial thing is hilarious aka fucking gross.

His therapist is a my little pony that he talks to in the tub.

Well, for not liking absolutes, you certainly are fond of using them.

I’m more amused by people thinking that words are somehow an assault, or in need of a physical response. You aren’t threatened or in danger... observe:

“if I didn’t defend my wife’s honor when some douche said some fucked up”

The reason so many people are defending Will Smith, black people in particular, is cause we’ve been led to believe this behaviour is acceptable.

Men of all races have been committing crimes over real or perceived slights on ‘their’ women, and the problem is that a) they think women belong to them and b) they think ‘their’ women are an extension of themselves and their own honor.

Is slapping a child physical violence? Is slapping a woman physical violence? Slap a cop is physical violence and will get you arrested (or worse). So what threshold makes it not physical nor violence?

Whether the words were offensive to Jada, the choice of response was hers and hers alone to make. Women are completely capable of defending ourselves, especially from mean spirited and offensive WORDS.

I think it’s just what happens when you’re a couple of self-important humorless scientologists who take themselves way too seriously and think the entire world is fascinated with the minutia of their lives. People are goign to make jokes. Plus, turns out Rock didn’t even write the joke, the Oscars ceremony writing…

But really, the jibe comparing a haircut to a 25 year old film is what causes him to assault someone.

Smith should have been kicked out of the building immediately.

Lol. His job was literally to go up there and make fun of some celebs. Either you've never experienced bullying before or you've never seen an awards show before because they're not at all the same. 

Are you saying her rolling her eyes is her being PISSED, or is that just a flimsy excuse for Will Smith’s emotional problems?

Invaded at RL1 by the Church of Elleh and managed to intercept a Moonveil being dropped for a new player!

Mean drunk who likes money does something for money. The end.

He’s still an over-grown brat. His horrible treatment of his ex-wife Jennifer, all of the drunkenness, the fights with other actors and his reported difficulties doing his job don’t endear him to me. These old Hollywood farts reach that cute (old) boy phase and people want to pet them like puppies. 

Well, no, you screwed up there, because it’s only conservative loons who conflate discussions of identity with “sex.” It’s okay to say, “let’s not talk about sex” to our youngest kiddies. It’s not okay to pretend that anything other than Cis Het people even exist, which is what the bill does.

“The law just prohibits talking about sexual identity to young children in general.”

And what does that mean, in practice?

Because I am 99% sure it does mean you can’t read a fairy tale to a classroom where a prince marries a princess.

I am also 99% sure it does mean that you can’t read a fairy tale to a classroom where…

When do we get to decide that this stupid bill is censorship? Because it is, right? I know Americans like to call any consequences for (white people) mouthing off, censorship. But when a government or law restricts what you can say, that actually <checks notes> yes, that actually *is* censorship.
