WTF Will Smith?

  • Okay, my stance. I don't condone what either men did. However, Will Smith was definitely out of line! Will should've talked with Chris privately after the show, fine. If he wanted to be extra petty, Will could've put Chris on blast on social media, which is what literally most everybody else does to each other, especially on the hell hole that is Twitter.

    But instead of people focusing on what Chris did wrong and "cancelling" him, instead we're all talking about the "slap heard 'round the world".

    Why did Will Smith use an open hand anyways? Oh right! Paper beats rock! 😏 I'll...show myself out now.

    (I am serious about everything else above my dumb joke though. Afterall, Will got into one little fight and his Mom got scared, so he's moving with his Auntie and Uncle in Bel-Air. Okay I'm done.)

  • There is a historical context for the open handed slap:

  • If WS didn't like what was said he should have walked out and hope his wife walked with him, but his ego wouldn't allow it. If he can't control his behaviour in public, what must he be like in private? Worrying. He should be banned from attending again.

    I'm sure he will be. As much as I like to poke fun of the Oscars being an event of moral grandstanding by out-of-touch rich folks, it IS a red carpet event, and a certain decorum is to be expected.

    Fame comes with some challenges.

    Watch Will go from laughing to total rage... this was not something he thought deeply about. He just reacted to his wife's scorn for a joke that she didn't appreciate:

  • It would have been great if Jada had just smacked Will for initially laughing.
    Instead we got the totally fake tough guy actor and some total BS in his acceptance speech.

  • So, if I lose some hair from my head, I can just go around slapping everyone that calls me boldilocks?

  • Am I the only one that thinks this whole thing is being absurdly over dramatized?

    I seriously don't think a kid alive is going to slap another kid, and think it's OK, because Will Smith did it on TV

    It's absolutely OK to slap (at least) somebody if he hurts your wife. Oh god i can't believe so many people here are shaming Will. I'm deeply sorry for their wives to have such "man" unable to protect rhem if they got hurt.

    Some people are even suggesting therapy for Will ? Wtf ? Sick world, poisoned by cancel culture, political corectness and other crap. Sorry i know that people here will be angry on me, but can't help myself. Just can't believe what i'm reading here, totally shocked.

    But instead of people focusing on what Chris did wrong and "cancelling" him

    I don't think anybody should be cancelled. It was between two men, they cleared it, done. Nobody should cancel anybody.

    I had to explain in a nice way to my kid, who is now watching this, as now all over the internet/Tik Tok, etc....
    & told her, that Will Smith is a well known Public Figure/Artist, at a big movie awards for actors (or in this case Slaptors).. & he Is up for nomination.. We both seen most of his movies.... But.... That's this is not the right way to treat people if they make little silly joke about someone.. The joke wasn't insulting.. Know one deserves to be hit, just by a word, even if its a comment about a simple haircut... What they should of done is immediately, removed his win from the Oscars.. Unannounced, then told him after behind closed doors.. He would of won, but due to that immature outburst he lost the award...

    She then asked me, due i think he hits his children like that?.. Or Does his wife slap him at home like that?..

    Man, Ricky Gervais (and any comedian) would be beaten to a pulp then.

    It’s not like Chris Rock was on the street and randomly walked up to Will Smith and insulted his wife with hurtful intent (and even then I would suggest to either walk away or use words to tell him to back off).

    It was the Oscars, Chris Rock’s job was to deliver jokes (that I’m sure he co-wrote with an entire team). This particular one might be a bad joke, but some jokes are. It’s a delicate business, humour.

    I don’t see anybody canceling anyone here. Just a bemused shock and some outrage that Will Smith chose to hit the presenter on one of the most watched shows on Earth because of a bad joke. I think you’re dragging that shock and outrage into more general discussions about PC and cancel culture which is simply not warranted. Will Smith’s actions were far far over the line of what is accepted behavior in that situation and people react to that. I don’t see how that reaction is a symptom of a sick world.
    PS: always loved WS’s movies, I have no grudge against him about anything as such. But that slap was not okay in my world.

    Can a parent now say “I want you to grow up to be like Will Smith”?

    Of course they can. Many kids want to be like their parent. I am sure I fucked up more than Will's single hyper analysed moment. Fuck! I feel sorry for Will for this reaction and sorry for the small minds that think it worth analysis. He hit someone who deserved a little reminder. Not like he shattered his jaw. What is the big deal. Or has the cotton ball world taken over.

    Also, if you are so blessed to have talent (no denying Will has plenty and charisma, too), society rewards you for it, people admire you, and you espouse being a loving, decent human being who is “a River unto his people”… then you might work a little harder at emulating that by getting help to control your anger.

    I think it's a lobotomy you are looking for. Something to effectively remove all natural human impulses. You should start a list. Traits that are no longer needed for a human to function.

    Sadly, Smith’s greatest moment was spoiled by his anger. He will be remembered more for a slap than a beautiful achievement. It would be good if he had some real friends who told tell him the truth (total supposition on my part).

    Only if you are a complete fool. He is a human being and last I checked, mistakes are part of that. His greatest accomplishments are he successes, not his failures. An Oscar was his greatest moment? You know he does other stuff right?

    I just remembered this one time many years ago when three or four drunk tank top wearing guys started catcalling my wife in a parking lot near a lake. Before I realized what I was doing I started heading toward them growling “shut up assholes, that’s my wife!”

    To this day I can’t believe I did that. It was pure lizard brain reaction. I’ve never been in a fight or even taken a serious punch in my life. If I had consciously thought about it there’s no way I would have done that. It just happened.

    To this day I can hardly believe that they put up their hands and said “Sorry man! We didn’t realize,” rather than beat the shit out of me.

    My point is, you don’t think these things out. They just happen before you know it. As for being on camera, these people are under some kind of camera every minute they are outside their homes. I imagine that just becomes part of the background. The idea that Smith would think “Oh dear! Kids are looking to me as a role model. If I strike this man, surely people will see me as a misogynistic, angry man, who only knows how to solve problems with his fists. I know I should not do this thing, but I must avenge my bride,” is a bit of a stretch don’t you think?

    No, but if you do, I doubt it will define your career.

    In most places, it’s called assault, a guilty verdict would probably end your career.

    Mate I think you missed my point. My point is, there are non-violent ways to get one's point across, from talking with each other in private like two grown adults should, to being petty enough to get the other person "cancelled". No need for the bitchslap. Chris Rock made a stupid low joke. No denying that. Responding to words with violence only makes you look bad.

    What Will should've done is take his family and leave. That would've sent a clearer message. He could have his well-earned Oscar taken away now! What good does that do?

    That is just totally untrue. Maybe not for everyone but you can't define the world by your own neighbourhood.

    Not in cotton ball land. We wrap everyone up in cotton balls and remove the parts of their brain that make them behave in a way what someone doesn't like. Unfortunately, everyone hates something which means full lobotomy's all round. Get ready to drool. But no worries. The cotton balls can help with that as well. Yay for cotton ball land!

    Ok, got the point, no bad feelings, i jus stay with my point of view.

    I feel very different energy from that video than what she is saying, and her first reaction on that Rock's stupid joke is proof i'm right when i think this is NOT how she really feels about her problem, but it's just he pretending he is strong for public. Which is very common what people in US are doing. Pretending everything all the time, zero honesty. That's also why i'm appreciating Will's honest impulsive reaction without pretending it doesn't made him dead pissed off.

  • My great grandfather was killed in a gun fight. He was a sharecropper and the land owner got pissed off because of something or other by grandfather and his brothers had done. My great grandfather stood and took it right up until the man started yelling at his wife. At that point, noticing the landowner was wearing a gun, he sent his son get his gun.

    They both shot each other dead.

    I guess society has progressed a little since then. ;)
