A40:
You have no argument bro. Is his wife's reaction the only barometer for response. Is he not a thinking man with agency? So are you the type of man to dances and bows to every expression of your wife? You don't apply judgement and discernment as the Man?

There was nothing wrong with the joke as worse ones were cracked about his wife the same night and he was laughing like a jackass

Being able to beat someone does not guarantee you immunity from other means of retaliation. In the street you know that even if a guy is smaller than you, you still dont throw punches, Things that cannot be settle by punches get settled in other ways

As a black boy growing up in America, disses is part of life, you throw it and you throw back, Anytime you start throwing punches it doesnt end well

The only reason Will Smith will get away with this is that Chris Rock is an A-list who cares about his money at this point in his life, what he got away with a 57yr old Chris Rock he might have gotten away with the same Chris Rock in the hood at age 17.

I hope you keep this same energy whenever you offend someone and they react in the same way. When someone hits your car. You pop your trunk take out spanner and break their head since there's no standard manner to react

donstan18:

I can decide to act cool or violent when someone hit my car, it’s my choice.

My choice!!!

Chris is an invitee to Hollywood, brought there to present every year and can't afford to fück up his yearly cheque. Will Smith can collect his networth from two films or one production for Netflix.

Will is part of the establishment, a studio owner and probably worked with, or given jobs to half the people in that audience.

The power disparity was too much, Chris gats humble himself

Na lie oh. Wey the link? I no trust Twitter news

He's not even going to Jail cos Chris declined to press charges. As e dey now Chris chop slap for free.
People will say Will should not have done it, but at the end of the day it's done and nothing will happen,

The logic that dayo and A40 and arguing is like advocating fighting with SARS officer. Yes police brutality is bad and condemnable, but will platitudes bring you back to life after dem waste you?

I hope you will be man enough to deal with the consequences with no excuses then

You know this is literally the same advice that could have been given to Chris Rock right?

A40:
There's literally a video of Will Smith yabbing another man for his 'Alopecia'

Alopecia is just a funky way to describe baldness btw.

donstan18:

Is it a crime if his wife’s reaction his only barometer for response?

Who are you to him to tell him what should get him pissed and how he should react? Are you in the right position to tell Will Smith what should be the “Barometer” for his response?

Don’t you get my point? None of us has the right to tell people how to react when angry.

I earlier asked you a question and you dodged it, I’ll ask again. Dayo is known for overlooking insults and overboard words when arguing football here. CAN YOU DO THE SAME?

donstan18:

I can also decide not to be man enough. My choice.

That’s the point I’m trying to make.

A40:
So now that Will has done what he did has the trolling stopped? Will people suddenly stop dissing him and his 'wife'

I don't think you understand how the internet works when it comes to these things. Will Smith is never going to stop being trolled and attacked for this incident. We can see how much it's taking a toll on him

Chris Rock will continue his jolly way

nihilistjnr:


So if you realise that punch can escalate a situation, then why are you not preaching against saying things that can instigate a situation?

Because your argument is not congruent.

If i shouldnt punch someone because I dont know what they will do, why is it OK to diss them if I dont know what they will do?

A40:
It is a crime because it tells everyone you lack agency. That is why the night that should have been the greatest night of his career has landed him in the Meme Hall of Fame. Crying like a baby for such a scandalous reason

Continue defending nonsense. The target is on his back and I guarantee you he will be trolled even worse for this nonsense behavior let's see just how unhinged and buckwild he can get

If e like make e turn E.Honda. A 1000 slaps to will not make that man happy.

Tell that to law enforcement when you overreact in the name of anger. Let's see how much you can handle prison time

Have I come here to justify my reaction? Are you comparing verbal clapbacks to actual physical assault? Why these malaria comparisons ffs

This one will just invent scenario in his head and start arguing with himself to feel smart.

Elderly man beating kid untop Chris Rock and Will Smith?

nihilistjnr:


Did you see Will asking Twiiter to keep Jade's name out of their tweets? Chris specifically said something, and then Will specifically addressed it

We don't even know what goes on behind the scenes and if these two gents don't have a deeper beef brewing before today. In future, even if all of twitter is tweeting about Will, Chris will never diss Will's wife in his presence again. Job done.

I don't agree with it, but I understand it.

afrodoc2:
That boy that was lashing Will Smith's wife don mess up his head. Misplaced and built up aggression.

This is the epitome of pussy-whipping.

So what's comedy about if it's not to make offensive jokes about people?

Go and watch roast on comedy central and see what they say about people. Some people as old as 80 being roasted for fun and everyone laughs. Even men as powerful as Trump or as strong as Hulk Hogan
