No he fucking doesn't. This completely disregards the fact that words can be fucking violence.

I find it fucking infuriating that we have to always emphasize this so much despite so many people here admitting to being bullied.

My parents and I don't speak anymore, but growing up there was a lot of tension between the things I liked and wanted to do and the things my parents wanted me to be doing. This was mostly caused by my father because I will focus on him.

When I was very young, my father and I were very affectionate and did a lot of things together. We'd ride bikes in the cemetery, we'd bring nets to a pond and catch frogs, he'd take me to a park to use a remote control car, and there were certain interests I had where I felt supported by him. I went through a kaiju phase where I really loved Godzilla and he would hunt down rare VHS tapes so I could watch Godzilla movies I'd never seen before. More from my mother than my father, but I also got artistic encouragement and they'd buy me art supplies when I asked for them. This period of time, which lasted until I was 7 or 8, was when I felt really supported by my mother and father.

I did have to do things I didn't like. I had to play little league baseball, I had to play soccer, but these were things a lot of 90s kids had to do and almost all of us disliked doing it. I didn't object to having to play on these teams because my whole team seemed to wish they didn't have to do it so I just understood that this was what sports were - an obligation we all had to do. But it was fine.

When I was 7, Pokémon happened. I loved Pokémon. Pokémon was unlike anything else I ever liked in that it overtook all my other interests and became the only thing I wanted to do. The games, the cards, occasionally the anime, the toys, etc. Pokémon was an irresistible joy that shaped me and my friend group so dramatically that it made my parents uncomfortable. They did not like Pokémon to begin with. They thought it was an alienating, expensive fad. They saw me as a victim of the phenomenon and did not want to support it, so for the first time I clashed with my parents over something I like. My time with Pokémon was restricted. My access to Pokémon was limited. I had to kind of enjoy it out of sight and not let them know how much I liked it. This was also the time my father and I stopped doing things together because I think he could tell all I wanted to do was talk about or play Pokémon.

In the next couple of years, I think it was 2000, my uncle gave me his Nintendo 64. This is something my parents were hugely against, but accepted bitterly. They did not like video games. They did not like me playing video games. They did not want video games in the house, but here they were. As goofy as it sounds, they did not want a "gamer child" and tried and failed to find a balance between allowing me to play video games with not actually wanting me to play them at all. This produced more tension and an uncomfortable environment where I'd spend a lot of my time playing video games in the basement with the sound off so my parents wouldn't hear me. I'd quickly change the channel or turn off the TV to hide what I was playing video games. Getting caught playing video games was always really embarrassing and to this day I still feel a lot of embarrassment over my interests and prefer to enjoy them privately.

As I got older and into my early teens my father tried to reconnect with me again by getting me involved in his interests. He wanted me to lift weights with him. He wanted to throw a football around. We tried these things and failed. It was work. There were fights. We both got nothing out of it. He'd try giving me CDs from bands he liked. He'd recommend movies to me. In retrospect I can see that he really was trying to find something to connect with me over, but they were all things that he already liked and did. His complete animosity towards my interests and my hobbies meant anything I liked was off limits and we failed to connect over his interests.

In 2001, the only thing I wanted for Christmas was a GameCube. I pleaded with my parents saying they didn't have to get me anything else except the GameCube, which they outright refused to do. Usually when I wanted something they weren't going to get me they'd say things like "maybe, we'll see" and I knew that was a no. But with the GameCube they just outright said no. They didn't want me to have a GameCube. But because I wanted it so much, I still held on to the thought maybe I'd get one. When Christmas came there was one big rectangular box under the tree, which they described as my "big present." It was not shaped like a GameCube box should be shaped, but I managed to convince myself it could be a GameCube. When I opened it there was a weight bench in side. I was devastated. I tried so hard not to be a crybaby and save face but boy did I hate opening that wrapping paper and seeing a weight bench underneath it.

When the weight bench was not the magic solution to the gap that had grown between my father and I, I think he stopped trying. I didn't care anymore either. We both cut our losses and stopped trying to share our interests and we kept our interests separate and private. When I look back as an adult, I think it's really sad and upsetting how powerful of a phobia my father had of the things I liked. He wanted me to like his things so bad, and just kinda kept waiting and thinking I'd come around eventually, but obviously it never did. My father and I had lots of problems far more severe than this, and we haven't spoken in years, so thinking back on this aspect of our relationship feels like the least important. But it's definitely symptomatic of a lot of our larger issues that also never got resolved. At this rate they never will.

Less than an hour after the OP is posted.

 

One time as a teenager when my parents seized my computer after secretly monitoring my activity with spyware, I had to sit across from my conservative father and shamefully explain what "hentai" was. I have never recovered from this incident.

You could do both, though.  It would have been cool if after he slapped Chris he said, "Welcome to urf!"

[Pissy F Benny]

I think we can all agree it would have been funniest if Chris beat the shit out him after the slap.

[Skullfuckers Anonymous]

Maybe if Chris Rock had gone to comedy school, this wouldn't have happened.

Nah, you don’t learn about this in school.

Yeah, Rock's joke was absolutely not okay. I've worked in stand-up comedy for a decade, and generally the ONLY time you pick on things someone can't help about themselves is either if A.) They're a monstrous person who has caused suffering, or B.) They're hecklers. Otherwise that stuff's generally off limits if you want the audience on your side and for your jokes to land properly. Making fun of someone's shaved head because they're suffering a medical issue that causes their hair to fall out? That gets you five across the face.

Will walking up to Chris had that Jojo dramatic walk energy to it too.

Transhuman: I know you would never make fun of a woman's hair loss issues but let's say you find yourself in this situation, you are hosting the oscars, William Smith has just slapped you and is yelling "keep my wife's name out yo mouth"

how do you recover and play this off

To be honest I hate Chris Rock's joke enough that I would never be in the position of telling it. Not because I find it offensive, I just think it's a lazy easy joke. I can think of a few jokes that make fun of her baldness that are funnier. "And Will Smith is with his wife tonight Jada, who suffers from alopecia. Y'know at one point Will considered shaving his head in solidarity, but in the end he decided it wouldn't be fair to all the other women he's seeing". That way it still mentions her baldness but instead it's about the even more notable thing, their very public marriage (it's public but you still have to be a 9.5 or above). Plus it doesn't rely on the audience having seen Gi Jane. I find reference jokes lazy. This person looks like 'X' other person? That's one of the first things you learn not to do. You have to dress it up a little. "I'm sorry Jada, I just got off the phone with James Gunn. They decided to go in a different direction..." I suppose that's still a reference joke, but it feels a bit funnier. Hide the punchline a bit, add some suspense, reference a movie that came out this century, etc. Strictly speaking, funnier.

If I were recovering in the moment I would probably say: "I'm sorry Will. We all make mistakes. Remember After Earth". Which I don't think is particularly funny because reference jokes I find boring but if you have no time to spare like I said, they're easy.

See, I would be like, "I've GOT to get me one of these!" and point to his wife's bald head with my smiling mouth agape, and eyes stretched open.  And I'd give the audience like 5 seconds to figure it out, then I'd go, "It's that line from Independence Day!  She's fuckin bald!"  It works.  Trust me.  I passed my comedy school mid-term on shit like this.

[nobody of note]

People go "Hey, maybe 'locked due to reports' is kind of bad if it means we can't talk about the thing the literal entire internet is talking about today," in constructive.

I think you need to rethink the "we are locking the thread because of reports" approach.

This is a discussion forum and right now we cannot discuss the #1 topic everyone on the internet is talking about, and a topic the community clearly want to talk about.

Maybe consider the way you work with reporting too, I obviously can't know exactly what people report, but I see the stuff the people where whining about in the open in that thread, and I really am not sure its always the type of things that require immediate staff attention.

A thread like that should not generate so much work for the staff it becomes unmanageable.

I agree with this. It is an enormous story and everyone is talking about it. It's difficult to understand why the thread has remained locked all day. I understand it is a hard topic to moderate here, but surely there is some avenue to a discussion of what will be one of the biggest stories of the year while it is happening?

I apologize if this sounds unfair to staff, I can't see things from your side of the screen. I would welcome insight to that perspective. I'm just saying from my perspective this doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and will hopefully spark some discussion on the "locking while we review reports" issue. I have read some of the posts staff have made in the past on this issue and I get the philosophy and respect the desire to protect the community from itself, but whenever we can't discuss *the* news of the day on our discussion board I think it's worth examining the sensibility of the approach that is causing the issue. Maybe there is more going on here than meets the eye, hard to say from the outside.

Speedy mod response, because it's another opportunity to talk about how overworked they are and skirt the 'maybe telling everyone to report everything all the time means not all reports need to be tackled immediately' statement:

I think the reasoning is quite simple.
On any given day we might log on and see lets say 10 open reports.
This morning I log on and see over 70 reports...
That is just kinda stressful and will take so much longer to work through than a dozen open reports.
It is very much a case of, if the pile becomes too big no one feels like diving in anymore because there is seemingly no end in sight...
Not to mention if it hadn't been locked and if some reports hadn't already been dealt with that number could have easily shot past 100  and then all bets are off as to when we would actually get around to dealing with them all...

We're still collectively chipping away at them as we speak and once we bring that number down to a manageable level we might reopen the thread, but the larger the pile is the longer that will take...
