Gotcha. It’s ok to say anything about anyone as long as someone is paying you to do it. And it’s definitely ok to single someone out because they have a medical condition beyond their control.

My high school bully, or at least the worst of them, the ringleader so to speak, stopped bothering me when I was 16 after I broke his nose. It was a good life lesson for me. He never shoved me into a bank of lockers or tripped me coming down the stairs again after that. Never stopped using the F-slur, but he stopped…

Just so we’re clear, it’s ok to purposefully use someone’s appearance due to a medical condition to make them feel hurt and ashamed, and to make others laugh at them for it, just as long as you’re getting paid to do it?

For sure. That really was the worst take I've seen about this.

Ah. So retaliating is bullying. I, like, totally get it now. Thanks for clearing that up.

By the way, you missed something in your definition of bully. A bully uses words or physicality TO HURT, intimidate, or coerce. Chris Rock was trying to get cheap laughs by making a joke predicated on a woman FEELING HURT about losing her hair due to alopecia.

So if a guy were to shamelessly mock a woman with alopecia over her hair loss to get cheap laughs from his workmates or schoolmates, that wouldn't be bullying?  But because Chris Rock is on stage and getting paid to do it, it's different?

Sorry for saying it's dumb to fall for the "it's just a joke" defense that worked when I was a kid. My teachers and principals were stupid to fall for it back then, and people have to be stupid to fall for it now.

It's not about me, but my history is why I can recognise when someone is being a bully. It's why I can recognise that Chris Rock was being a bully.

Come on guy. You don’t need to be a fucking genius to see that if you bully a woman over her alopecia for a cheap laugh, then getting slapped is really just getting what’s coming to you.

“It’s just a joke.”

Nah. I'm always alright with seeing karma find its way to a bully.

You call it making a tasteless joke at someones expense, I call it acting like a sixth grade bully when you’re almost 60.

Im not on the team of someone shamelessly bullying a woman 9ver a medical condition, especially when lots of women who suffer from it go through some pretty intense feelings of shame for having it.

Is not wrong to smack the shit out of a bully. But hey, what do I know? I was only bullied for most of elementary and high school.

A joke about someones medical condition which is beyond their control is punching down.

If he was hired to be funny then he deserved to be shitcanned. 

I don't know where we got this idea as a society that violence is always wrong. Some people just deserve to have the taste slapped out of their mouth.

So you're on the team of the dude who publically humiliated a woman for her alopecia?

She isn’t playing dumb for that reason. I’m pretty sure she’s playing dumb because in the moment she found it amusing to do so.
