Regina Hall made a topical joke at expense of the Smiths but they clearly responded well to it because it wasn't punching down or making fun of a medical condition.

Topical?  Wasn't their whole marriage think like ten years ago?

Is it possible that we're underpaying just how batshit insane it is that declaring Will Smith may have gone too far by slapping a comedian on stage at the Oscars for a dumb joke, is an instaban position?

Like, that's fucking crazy even by era standards isn't it?

It's easy to forget how crazy they've always been for at least 3 years. Kind of like forgetting the pains of childbirth. Extremes get dulled by time in our memories.

I was hit by a car as a kid and broke both femurs. During recovery, I slipped on my crutches and busted my right femur again. I'd do it again over hanging out with redmercury.

Quote from: L Thammy
I suspect that 4 jokes about Jada Pinkett Smith over 25 years would be 4 more jokes than some comedians have told about Jada Pinkett Smith over 25 years.
the crazy about thing about it is that jada has commonly been the subject of jokes, rock hasn't been the only one to make jokes about the woman's march, or jada boycotting the oscars, or jada having a bald head.

now jada is a "victim" and you're "punching down" cracking on her smh.

Two thread locks and some of you still find a way to be dismissive of the victim.

Those people see Chris as the victim, they're already gone.

We are NOT an echo chamber! ERA is not a hive mind or monolith!

Oh, Chris Rock getting slapped means he was a victim? Oh your ass needs to be gone. Can't have that here.

The "there's a difference between Black people and distinguished black fellows" thing that I've heard a lot of whites lean into over the course of my life pretty much comes from him. Granted, he's recanted and regretted that bit, but the damage is done.

THIS! This right here is why Chris Rock can't be the victim and seeing him as one is dogwhistling. Nothing to do with Oscar night.

Of all the dumb shit I've witnessed on Reeeeesetera, this Will Smith/Chris Rock thing has got to be the dumbest. Yes, even beyond the Juicy Smelliest thing.

At least with Juicy, there was a short period of time when it could have been possible that maybe, just maybe, if you tilted your head to a particular angle, you might have been able to believe him.

This Chris Rock thing though...we all saw it. There's no angle other than Smith was way out of line, even if the joke was in poor taste. But to basically deem that ANY suggestion that Rock deserved anything other than a very public slapping and very loud and very stupid bit of abuse is an instant ban offence is just insane. It's crazy. There's no other way to put it.

It’s so dumb that I genuinely wonder whether someone’s taking the piss here. There are plenty of dumb policies and takes there, but of all the things to mass ban and enforce a position on, you choose this? Really?

Like, is someone trying to see whether they’ll go with it if they make the forum where words are treated as violence simultaneously hold the position that a slap is not violence to win a bet or something?

Now imagine the same situation but instead of Will Smith it was Bill Burr defending his black wife. They'd be in Cris Rocks corner with the same energy only he didn't do anything different other than being slapped by a white dude instead.

And talking about how the black wife was the real victim and Bill Burr was just standing up for her would be a bannable offense.  :lol

Quote from: OP
I swear this happens every few weeks. I quite often finding myself describing the TV remote to her to talk her through it. Once I remember she wanted me to talk her through switching inputs to watch a DVD, which resulted in much confusion as it involved two remotes instead of one.

This has been going on for years, it's also when she gets a security alert from her antivirus software on her tablet. It's never a virus just a privacy reminder. But every time she gets me to look at it.

I'm sure many ERA users are familiar with this.

Honestly I'm surprised at the thread backfire. Tech support for my mom is extremely frustrating because she never actually internalizes anything shown to her. She's used computers for years and yet yet still gets stuck on basic stuff.

"Your kids will do the same for you one day", yeah I doubt that (memory related diseases aside). We grew up with technology so I think we are just more accustomed to it.

These are the same people I know IRL who make fun of their tech illiterate parents, but call their dad ASAP when the tap starts dripping.

Most of eras mods are generically awful mods; arrogant, thin skinned, unable to let someone else get the last word in a discussion, incapable of admitting they were wrong, routinely plays favorites, capricious about rule enforcement - I'm describing everyone from Morrigan to BronsonLee.

Nep takes it to a whole new level with dropping gaslighting ultimatums (although Royalan has been dabbling with that a bit recently) that highly debatable opinions are now Official TruthFacts

We can look at my post count comparatively to yours to see how seriously I take this, since you want to be a smartass. Still I do like it here, and have even before "the migration". I value the opinions of people I might not otherwise meet in a real world setting. I want to learn from them and hopefully have them do the same in return. But the staff has to keep it real if they're going to low-key push certain agendas. That particular thread I called out, which you clearly have no vested interest in, is a prime example. Why speak on shit you don't know anything about? Keep it moving.

First thing I always think too. If you can tie a decent bowline, delouse an angry child, and swap out the PRV on your boiler without bitching, I'll listen to your grumbles. Most people whining about helping their parents would not clear that bar.

Sad thing is most of their parents are probably just making excuses to contact their deeply troubled, often angry, distant and hostile children. 'I don't know what you talk about on that website, but you've changed'.

Jesus Christ the Jada thread has now progressed to the official position being that Jada feels like a victim of abuse and anyone who thinks Rock isn't a monster is ignoring her abuse:
Quote from: thediamondage
Chris Rock and Jada Smith don't really seem to have much animosity in this press tour video for Madagascar 3 from 2012, so I think a 25+ year feud is a bit of a stretch

The simply reality is only 3 people know the full truth and any of us or youtubers/social media people speculating are talking out of our asses.
Quote from: Royalan
Jada Pinkett Smith is a professional actress.

She was on a press tour for a movie.

You're casting doubt on her because she didn't morph into Angry Black Woman whenever Chris Rock was in the room.

Come on.
Quote from: rjinaz
Quote from: MisterR
As a comedian, he's probably "gone after" a lot of celebrities. The bald joke was pretty mild. I'm sure she'll be fine.


You know you sound exactly like a lot of teachers and principles do while they ignore bullying right before a child kills themselves over it.

I am just saying. I have personally been dismissed this way myself when I was abused. You do not know Jada or where her mind is. This was a public event with her peers and an audience of millions.
And:
Quote from: rjinaz
For having money, being assholes, being out of touch, sure. But bullying  about physical issues is still bullying regardless of money.

We know this hurt her because we can see her reaction.
Quote from: Forsaken82
It was an eye roll, not a sign of emotional distress.  There's footage rolling around that even she was surprised at Will's outburst when it happened.  She's LITERALLY joked about her hair herself.

This whole thing is Era's cycle of starting from the conclusion and fabricating reasons to justify it after-the-fact working at warp speed. Just insane--also crazy that all these people feel comfortable speaking on a Black woman's behalf without, as best I can tell, any sort of indicator from her.

We can look at my post count comparatively to yours to see how seriously I take this, since you want to be a smartass. Still I do like it here, and have even before "the migration". I value the opinions of people I might not otherwise meet in a real world setting. I want to learn from them and hopefully have them do the same in return. But the staff has to keep it real if they're going to low-key push certain agendas. That particular thread I called out, which you clearly have no vested interest in, is a prime example. Why speak on shit you don't know anything about? Keep it moving.

staff having opinions (“agendas”) is nothing new to this community in any incarnation is my point and I think you dressing all that up the way you did makes it impossible to seriously interface with
Quote from: breakfuss
The only reason you can't seriously converse with me about this is because you don't know what you're talking about. Inserting yourself into something that previously did not involve you. The staff have enough sycophants, thank you though.

Of fucking course

Doesn't matter if you're respectful or not, anything that highlights the hypocrisy of the staff just gets you banned

Ah, I get it. The bans are decided by committee, but only when Nerplunk is awake. Makes sense.

People catching on that only people who disagree with the slap are getting banned. Zerovayjay being a little worm

I'm honestly not sure what you find confusing about it.

Okay to discuss: the history between Chris/Jada and him making fun of her medical condition
Not okay to discuss: the argument between Will/Chris and if the slap was justified

You don't need to discuss the slap at all to discuss Chris' historical and recent treatment of Jada.
I'm confused because there are posts endorsing the slap that aren't moderated despite being reported. So it seems there is either a miscommunication what is allowed and not allowed on my end, or the staff post is being applied unevenly.

Quote from: Zeo
The mods aren't reloading the thread every five seconds. I'm sure they'll go through it. But there's no way for you to know that those posts are being reporting in the first place. Maybe no one reported them?

You seem more concerned with the staff post than the topic at hand.

Let's maybe focus on Chris Rock's history of demeaning Jada rather than "but one person on page 2 didn't get banned yet!"

I reported them. I want to read more about the topic at hand and not the drama from that night so I appreciated the staff post. Just wondering why it's not being used.

Then Nepnep comes in giving a completely nonsensical explanation

This doesn't explain why those disagreeing with the slap were instantly banned but not those who approved it not. Why does the latter suddenly take more time?

Also since when is it up to a single mod to be awake to ban people? Especially when there's a very strict staff post present. Almost as if this is Nepneps personal crusade. If people get banned now it's just to cover their ass

That didn’t stop her from adding a paragraph long staff post 4 minutes after Excel posted a thread, not to mention banning people in that same thread when there is a supposed 100+ report backlog to go through. :teehee

Not sure why you guys keep attributing every bad ban to Nep. RE's entire mod list is full of unhinged lunatics. Nep is the biggest drop in the bucket, but still just a drop.

FACT CHECK:

ah I see, a strong advocate of the one drop rule

I decided against trying to make a joke out of this cause I’m just not funny enough, glad to see someone else tried though.

I appreciate that this was categorized as "trying"

Outside of save/reload or just respawning, I wouldn't mind being a guardian from Destiny (assuming I can keep my memory). I don't have to get hungry, have seemingly infinite stamina, have cool space magic and only speaks when they really, really need to.



Maybe not specifically any of my Guardians, though, I am perfectly happy being a man.

how is era doing these days anyway. They chased the game devs away in the first year. Many prominent members left. They empowered lunatics to admin status, including Nep. I’m not seeing much growth, just the same old posters.

I mean. The man let emotions get the better of him. Rock has been shit talking for years at Jada, then on the Oscar's where Jada isn't nominated , just living her life quietly on the seats gets ragged on again by Rock and now hes doing the ragging via her autoimmune condition understandably flipped Smith's switch.

In what universe is making fun of a woman with a medical condition that causes her to lose her hair "punching up?"
It was a mild GI Jane joke to a movie star. Can’t believe the pearl clutching in this thread.
