@Jarvis323 I think we need to see everything in proper context. Just few centuries ago you could have been "roasted" physically on a bonfire by the church for daring to speak your opinion on simple matters that nobody even notices in today's world. Now that classifies as real violence. Stuff that happens in Ukraine now is real violence, both physical , emotional, etc. Abuse in families or elsewhere is violence.
Here is what I believe is NOT violence. A bunch of people sitting by their tables being served food that costs more than my life insurance in a room/hall that only few ever get to sit in having the time of their lives, emotions and adventures most people will never be able to experience.
+ their actors, their job is to be willingly put into situations where they are abused and ridiculed. By this token Will Smith could as well start kicking A$$ on the film stage with anyone who has a script that tells them to make fun of Smith's character.
A stand up comedian on stage is not a random stranger insulting you in a bar or in the subway. A stand up comedian on a stage is essentially an actor. He is doing a job.
I think Smith made a very bad example of something that is very wide spread in modern US especially within youth. That is the idea that you are untouchable , like a little king and everyone should do only as you wish.
The only reason anyone will ever remember that mediocre joke about his wife's hair is because of the childish and foolish action he made.
If it wasn't for that action you could search the whole of internet and probably not find a single reference to that joke as it simply was an average mediocre joke that nobody really cared about.I think we need to have a clear separation of what is actual violence and what is acting done by professional actors in an event that celebrates actors and all of them stand to gain a ton of money and publicity from it.
