You’re missing a hyphen and significant parts of your cerebral cortex. Rock is IMO not a misogynist. However, I will certainly grant that humorless fantasists don’t like him - your duhhhhhh is a limiting factor. Go soothe yourself with a Friends binge and a camomile. |
I simply will not stand for someone pointing out the histrionics of a rich, powerful, and desperately needy pair of Hollywood narcs. |
More woman hating incel love here. We all know you and could tell you things about yourself... |
Don't get it twisted, I'm black. This is America - every damn Black person in the public eye represents us. You already know that. |
Wrong on all counts. I wish you luck as you try (and fail) to find a partner and develop your life. Fantasizing about closeted dudes who attack third-parties out of an ill-conceived attachment to a cheating, mean-spirited partner is not the look. But you can cling to it like a blanket, Linus-style, for lack of something real. |
You're an ass. I don't support Will or his wife. They are all horrible people. I won't let you like and make CR out to be some wonderful person because he got slapped. The person upthread who referred to him as "beloved" clearly has brain damage. He hates women. He doesn't support a woman's right to choose despite his words. He is obsessed with Jada. This is all sick. |
I don't get the Chris Rock hate here. He was put into an impossible situation. It's the Oscars. The biggest stage in the world. Hundreds of millions of people watching. And he gets sucker slapped by the Fresh Prince of Bel Air
I think he dealt with it very artfully and with a lot of restraint. Will Smith was obviously not in a good place. And no wonder. His wife was sleeping around with his kid's friends. That should have been a private disaster and the end of the marriage. Instead it became very public. Will Smith felt emasculated and he took it out on Chris Rock on the biggest stage there is. But how should Chris Rock have dealt with it? He's a smart guy. He knew that such public displays of black on black violence would feed into every trope about black men. It's a really tough position to be put in. Having a good year long think was a good call. And I think the mic drop at the end was really poignant. |
Rock made fun of a silly couple. The end. You are a sad, overly invested little fool. No one is canonizing Chris Rock! The paperwork is not being sent to the Vatican, I promise. That said, seriously, stop being a pile of dogsh!t - quit tacitly defending assault by a smacked ass cuckold and his utterly self-serious philandering wife. I mean, I loved Girls Trip but the reaction and rationalizations are g.d. ridiculous. |
I love Chris Rock. He may be a misogynist or he may not. I personally don’t see misogyny in his stand up. He’s a comedian. If you don’t like him don’t watch. Your loss.
And FFS it’s ok to have different opinions. But don’t tell me how much he sucks and is a misogynist when I can see and hear with my own damn eyes and ears and believe he’s not. |
Because they’re equal. Sorry! |
I know, right? |
+1 If you’re black you know. |
The New York Times review says it best.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/05/arts/television/chris-rock-netflix.html From the NYT review by Jason Zinoman "There’s a comic nastiness to Rock’s insults, some of which is studied, but other times appeared to be the product of his own bottled-up anger. In this special, Rock seemed more raw than usual, sloppier, cursing more often and less precisely. This was a side of him you hadn’t seen before. The way his fury became directed at Pinkett Smith makes you wonder if this was also a kind of displacement." |
I was most disgusted about how he used his daughter's one bad decision in high school to actively lobby to get her kicked out of high school behind his wife's back in the name of being sanctimonious.
He is a creep and sees women as nothing more than objects to either boost his ego or to be target practice. So glad his wife got away from him. |
