"fuck off with that privileged honkey shit"

That's what I tell my mom when she asks if I want to go with her to the dog park.

I just can't wait to see the routine Chris Rock and other comedians are going to make out of this situation. Bring on the Netflix specials.

I still can’t believe this is a controversy. Rock had it coming when you punch down and make someone’s illness the butt of the joke. Yeah Smith shouldn’t have slapped him but he did. So what?

No one’s going to making jokes at bald women ever again, so thank you Will Smith for showing what happens when you pick on the sick.

Oh for god's sake.   :lol :lol

Man, people don’t need to see black people fighting at the Oscars. Catch him elsewhere if that’s how he felt.

It's an exhausting mindset to have imo. Black people are people. People will and tend to fuck up. It's like we're the only group that is expected to be these saintly, flawless, paragons in order to alleviate racism. That is obviously unrealistic and no collective could live up to that standard.

You’re right, but it’s unrealistic to simply say “Black people are people” when we sure aren’t treated like people or the same as other people and need to take extra precautions like teach our children how to survive getting pulled over by the police and get home safely. Yes, that is an extremely exhausting mindset to have but it doesn’t make the reality of the situation less real.

And these racists love it when they see us fighting and divided. More fuel for their agenda, and easier prey to be had. They already starting to tear down Will talking about how he’s mentally ill. It may be unfair, but Will’s a black man in the spotlight and he represents us. That whole situation looked messy. But it shouldn’t have to fall all on only Will and Chris’ shoulders to act right since they’re the stars; we all need to do our part.

We’re not a monolith, but we sure need to move more united to get where we need to go. That’s where we f’d up. Let them turn us against ourselves. But people aren’t perfect. We gonna disagree. We gonna fight. Just not in front of anyone else. Let them know we have each other’s backs.

Someone's getting banned

Nep makes no sense since Will would've never hit a white dude.  if you want to go the racial politics angle, you can't miss that. this just continues to normalize violence on black men and boys. will would not have touched a white comedian.

to be fair, the "evidence" is clear. the issue is some type of discipline.  title should be something "the academy will deliberate on the events, etc."

There's no reasonable rationale or shred of evidence to suggest that Will Smith is being chastised unfairly, specifically as a black man, for what he did.  Hitting someone on national television, at the most prestigious award ceremony, is going to be looked down upon, no matter what your race is.  That's it.   Nepenthe is incapable of recognizing this, and it's not necessarily her fault, but she needs to see healthcare professionals to help her understand her delusions.

People on ERA are particularly soft. For the vast majority of people, that gi jane joke was nothing. To ERA, who think speech=violence, that joke was a vicious attack on Will's wife. It is also wild to see so many Black ERA members co-sign to the stereotype that we Black men have low self-control. That it's just inherent within us to have a "nicca moment" at the slightest provocation.

I honestly haven't, at least not since I was like 8 years old. I have control over my temper and emotions.   Have you done this as an adult?  Is this something you still do?  When was the last time you physically attacked somone because you couldn't control your emotions?

I'm not saying Will should go to jail, or have charges pressed against him, or even lose his Oscar or Academy standing.  Just that he should talk to someone about getting his emotions under control.

Quote from: RedMercury, post: 84348717, member: 36769
What makes you think Will Smith can't control his temper and emotions just because he decided to slap someone as opposed to not? That is getting into some racist stereotype territory, yeah he was obviously pissed but it doesn't mean he's lost control

i submitted a ticket to see what i got banned for, so they added a ban message:

(Image removed from quote.)

"antagonizing staff," i think i underestimated just how thin someone's skin can be. and i haven't even gotten warned or banned in ages. if i had known i would have said something more sassy to be actually worth a perm.

i guess i'm stuck with you fine ladies and gentlemen in exile.

Skin so thin it could be classified as a gas.  Twitter also being batshit crazy is maybe the only thing that keeps any otherwise-normie types who still use that board for discussion from realizing how toxic and stormfrontish Reesetera has become.  Whole thing has a “violent cult” vibe to it.

Maybe it's optimism or that I haven't really read era in years. Always got the sense the extremist element was smallish and tolerated if not ignored. Average user isn't posting 20 to 40 times a day with twitter and reddit opened in another window. Don't think anyone cared much for the dude running gaf either. People wanted a place to talk about Klonoa Musou or whatever niche game. Less ignorance, more what's the alternative. Move from gaf to era was lateral at best if not accelerating the downward trajectory. Very funny what happened there.

Tolerated but not ignored given how hard some mods latch on it. Those users may be the vocal minority, but they outright drowned most sane voices.

No. Being black is apparently the right to be unable to control your violent urge to smack someone in the mouth in front of an international audience because they made a joke about your wife which you initially thought was funny and laughed until your whore wife who fucks other guys under your own roof decided that you should do something about it.

No - but this wasn't verbal abuse it was a joke made by an acting colleague, a comedian who was paid to make jokes and do his job. Yes it's a bit mean but that doesn't give Will Smith the right to slap anyone.

Verbal threats of violence and actual violence, both criminal, are differentiated by the law, Nepenthe.  I know you're like a 36 year old cashier at Duane Reade, but are you actually distinguished mentally-challenged?

I like that he thinks this is a good thing, as opposed to making him look like a psychopath.  Not to mention still bringing it up 20-25 years later.

They need to pay Will Smith. That slap will keep this year’s Oscars in the news for weeks.

Also they don’t get to do shit like that when they have let known pedophiles, rapists, murderers, and sex traffickers accept awards and attend the event.

This right here. Plus that was a fucked up thing for Chris Rock to say. Joke wasn't funny in the least knowing her condition. Wouldn't be funny even if he didn't know about it.
So even if he didn't know he deserved the slap anyway?

This shit is so boring and lame, why can't they just laugh at the fact that Will Smith, who is probably seen as one of the softest celebrities going, went wild and smacked Chris rock at the Oscars :lol

Yeah it’s just ridiculous that Will has to go through this, yet Polanski and Weinstein still get to keep their awards and got no such call out. The former still got a standing ovations.

This is among some of the reasons why I don’t have any respect for the Academy.

Polanski and Weinstein?  Are they saying Jews own Hollywood?

This is just straight up not true. It's not a human reaction at all, it's a coddled, entitled, millionaire's reaction. No matter what bullshit people are spouting on here, the reality is that the vast majority of us would not go and assault someone for making a shitty joke directed at a partner. For the unprivileged of us we're well aware that doing so could lead to fines we can't afford, prison time or losing our jobs.



Will Smith's reaction is that of someone who is constantly pandered to and someone who is privileged beyond what we can even fantasise about. Slapping the shit out of someone in front of a room full of witnesses and facing basically zero consequences is a rich person's game.


So the narrative is agree that it's ok what will did or get banned for being a racist

What would be the reaction if they weren't black?

lol maybe don't tell jokes in the club about people's appearances or medical conditions then????

Christ I literally went to fucking comedy school and they drilled into our heads for YEARS that punching down is wrong. Why are comedians suddenly acting like the right to punch down needs to be sacred and protected now?

If they strip him of that award all hell will break loose. Their racism is already known, but that would be them flaunting it.

The absolute definition of racism. Not letting a black man slap another black man on your awards show. When can we finally fix this divide!?

I love how some guy that never had a professional comedic career try to use social proof--compared to Chris Rock who has sold out thousands of shows, has done many movies, and numerous specials with big networks.

there is are no "comedic rules".

I hope Wilk Smith get the help he needs and overcome his mental struggle. On the other hand, he has achieved the opposite of he was after, since every comedian is going to mock bald people in general and Jada Smith in particular from now on.

I’m completely in shock about how people are supporting Will in this. Era is not what I thought it was. I guess it’s OK when a black man is humiliated on TV. I doubt they’d react the same if it were a white woman who was attacked like this on TV by Will over a bad joke. Complete hypocrisy.

This shows how arbitrary their bans are. They guy he quoted completely dismissed someone who has the same condition but somehow that's the okay this time

Stop saying this. It’s not for political points, they hate and want to outlaw our existence. Real lives are destroyed by this, people are not political points and I am getting sick and tired of being referred to as one, especially in a country where 11 states have instituted laws trying to make it criminal to be transgender.
People are also posting fuck Disney lol

My focus is on Smith because Rock is already getting rightfully dragged. Meanwhile a large contingent of this forum are defending Smith’s actions as warranted and acceptable - which is absolutely fucking insane.

He's going to get banned.

Always loved Sculli for his movie takes. So long, breh  :salute
