So why did Will Smith punch Chris Rock?

[Fosty]

Something about G.I. Jane... I don't get it.

Comedians feeling like they aren’t safe making ableist “jokes” in public is a good thing.

Nope, also if physical violence is "acceptable" in your point of view. You're walking on very thin ice, haven't we learned from all the humankind history of bloodshed?

No. Violence was a poor response, even if the joke was in bad taste.

Words should be met with words. Violence with an appropriate level of violence.
Will overreacted IMO, but I don't think he is a bad guy for this. He should simply apologise

When you're super-mega-wealthy, alopecia is not a disability. Having messed up teeth isn't a disability either. You pay money to get either problem solved. She herself has said to be "proud" of her bald head. If she doesn't want to be a victim, she can buy a new, unique, gorgeous hairstyle every single day of the year and not even repeat one.

Also, to the comedy set and Hollywood, "ableist" jokes -- and far, far worse -- are perfectly fine if they're directed at the people we're supposed to hate today. Or their families.

[The Commendatore]

Over a trivial joke? No.

Fair enough, still Will should never commited the same mistake again. Otherwise "green lights" to "Me ne frego" and worse type of behaviour will be common again, physical violence it's one of the core steps to allow those kind of abhorrent actions to happen again.

Edit: Would like to add the "climate" in the USA is highly volatile, and there has been attempts of political assassination during 2021 and 2022. Giving "green light" to physical violence it's a huge mistake, specially during the current state of affairs.

As if getting assaulted is inevitable, and somehow to be expected.

Depends on the person and location. Some will get assaulted by looking meek. Others will because they're acting tough and looking for a fight.

This was so obviously faked...
The Oscar nomination is not an event where things happen spontaneously out of the sudden.
It was just a planned PR stunt to catch attention.

Some people are decided to beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of you for whatever reasons, maybe in your Disney World everyone is nice and all but in the real world things are different.

Most people just go about their business and don't get randomly attacked.

Yes, usually.

I mean with an attitude like that yes, one could you say it's inevitable, or rather, invited.

Nobody got "assaulted" but Chris... your logic is bad... words don't = assault.

It shows Will's lack of intelligence to use his fists rather then trade words... and yours too.
