If all the blogs in the world started to pretend he never existed, the world would still be attached to him because Twitter and Facebook and, well, the News in general, are things that exist.

You’re comparing apples to magnificently appointed Tuscan villas. People don’t buy loads of the same comic book. They buy their issue, and they have it. It’s meant to be read, and then that’s it, you’re done.

Lol wut?

No, look don’t get me wrong, I know what you mean and I don’t want to imply that the “kids these days” mindset is one of my own -  it’s always more hyperbolic than what people make it out to be. I also don’t believe that this is some massive force of nature, or some bad omen of things to come, per say.

According to the Academy, it was indeed un-scripted. 

If it can be turned into a meme template, there will be blood (and retweets). 

Not to detract from your comment, but Will Smith and Chris Rock definitely know each other.

It’s for exactly that reason. Reality TV is a work of fiction, marketed as non-fiction, in the hopes that people will believe it’s Non-fiction, even though it usually isn’t. Reality TV stars people, playing themselves, not fictional people. Which means that many people believe these people really are acting that way,…

I mean, narcissism is almost a necessity to be a massive movie star in this day and age. I also don’t believe that he believes he didn’t do anything wrong.

Yes, a bald man can turn that into a positive aspect, and yes there are women that are attracted to bald men (looking at you, Guinan), but that doesn’t mean that balding for men is less serious or less of an issue for them than it is for…

Wholeheartedly agree. If the population took mental health issues as seriously as they do other health issues, we would be in a very different place today.

No, not that I know of. I was as bewildered as anybody else when I saw it.

Aye, I mean don’t get me wrong, that display was absolutely not the right way to handle something like that.

At least not without some serious counseling and reparations. 

Authors can write about whatever they want to write about. Not every article on Kotaku is about games, just like not every article on Jalopnik and The Takeout are strictly about cars or food.

He really did, because Will smacked the fuck out of him. I was honestly impressed with Rocks composure after the fact. 

A slap is much more disrespectful than a punch is. Plus, he smacked the shit out of him. 

It’s quite a leap to jump directly to sociopath. It was absolutely in-appropriate, in virtually any scenario, but to call him a sociopath because he lashed out is a stretch.

God yes, please, will it into existence.
