Hello Everyone

Normally I don't get invested in he said she said drama among the hollywood elite but after dozens of gaming posts I figured id dabble for anyone interested. You can't turn on a TV without hearing about this mess. It's honestly sickening. I wanted to see where you guys stand with what happened :)   Do you think talk smack get smacked holds true? Do you think comedian freedom of speech is fragile and must be protected or do you simply not care either way?  I don't care either way honestly.

Note: Please keep this respectful. Their are no rights and wrongs here. This is discussion and this isn't a time to be mean towards one another. I know we can keep it civil. Even if it is a very divisive topic.

My main gripes with what happened is the hypocrisy of Will Smith. He shys away from his obvious marital issues when pressed by men who would most likely swing back like 50 cent. But Chris Rock was an easy target and it's this type of violence aimed at comedy that I don't think society should tolerate.

Their is freedom of speech. But their isn't freedom of slap.

Was Chris Rock out of line? Yes. It's the oscars not the roast of Jada Pinkett. But he's a comedian. He's paid to make people laugh. And it could have been handled with wit and not violence. I think we need less of this.

For example. You can disgrace me right now but I can't fly to your house and smack you for it. Their is etiquitte and Will is losing points for me as one of my favorite actors of all time. This was tough to see.

However comedians do think they can say what they want and be protected by a veil of satire and comedy. It doesn't work for the other celebrities being canceled for distasteful jokes. And I do think they push that line too far.

I think Will Smith and the hate coming against him is justified.

Do you think Chris Rock should press charges? Do you think it was staged for Oscar publicity?

Thanks for sharing

This.  I can't believe it hasn't even been 24 hours yet.  It's everywhere and I'm already exhausted of all of The Takes.
