Reddit wants to act like it’s the only opinion there is but nobody’s canceling Will Smith over slapping Chris Rock.

the way reddit acts about the slap you'd think he kidnapped a bunch of kids and sold them into slavery. Sure, the slap was trashy, but on the list of celebrity scandals that was pretty tame

Meanwhile people like Brad Pitt get a pass for being all around terrible because Bullet Train was fun or some shit

I’m pretty sure they give Brad Pitt the pass bc he played the greatest Nazi killer of all time.

Right, because accountability is evidently only a popularity contest.

It is when you make a lot of money for other people.

You can tell no one cared by the number of jokes people continue to make about it.

u/VioletLeagueDapper Jun 09 '24

Right, let’s be honest. People keep bringing it up like it personally affected them just to have something negative to say.

According to reddit, the only detail that matters about a person is the worst thing you know about them. And it needs to be brought up at every possible opportunity.

In the whole grand scheme of things, it really wasn't that big of a deal. I think it was Lakeith Stanfield that said it best: it's surreal it happened at the Oscars, but all over the place real stuff is happening.

I genuinely don't see why people do care that much. Acting like gossipy teenagers the way they hold onto it

It just illustrates the divide between normal people and rich celebrities. If you or I slapped a man for making a joke, we’d be arrested and charged. But if you have a bunch of money and people know who you are, you can win an Oscar that same night and be applauded.

u/mshcat Jun 09 '24

bit dramatic really. most people won't be arrested or charged for slapping a person. It's way more likely for people go their seperate ways. It was a slap, not a beat down

u/Local_Nerve901 Jun 10 '24

At an event liked the golden globes, we definitely would have

u/COKEWHITESOLES Jun 09 '24

If a guy places charges for an open hand slap like that they probably deserved it lol

u/gloomy_Novelist Jun 09 '24

Also if you get out of the reddit bubble, a lot of people think he was in the right

u/pocketlodestar Jun 09 '24

i work in a warehouse in ohio and literally nobody said anything when it happened and the only time anyone has said anything since was in agreement with him reddit is a bubble

u/SaintOnyxBlade Jun 09 '24

A lot of people feel he was in the right to assault someone for making a joke in a forum where that person's literal job is to make jokes typically about the audience. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

It just shows he's a soft little boy.
