The two of them could have shown a good example about how unimportant it is to be "dissed" in public. So yes, someone dissed you, you reacted in a hostile violent way, and then you turn the other cheek, just like Jesus taught.
It was titled selective outrage
Considering the problem teen boys have with violence and being "dissed" and carrying on vendettas, these two men could have really set an example of how to forgive and forget, let bygones be bygones.
Yes I agree.
Will did try but Rock was not willing to be the bigger person.

I think it was big of him not to react AT ALL to being slapped on camera at the Oscars. That takes some serious balls.
Yeah he thinks it was big of himself as well - he likened himself to stoic pro boxer … (more likely a sign of being slow witted in the moment and/ or stunned mullet syndrome)
But his rationale one year later was one of his funny jokes - my parents raised me not to fight in front of white people …
Because when you're raised by decent people, your first instinct ISN'T to fight.
Decent people also raise sons who don’t make fun of sexual assaults, abortions and women in general.
He’s a comedian, you utter knob.
Highlighting the double standards is clearly triggering you …
He has made a ton of money allegedly speaking truth to power … fair game to not find the hypocrisy and misogyny funny … plenty of male comedians manage to challenge authority, conventions and norms without disrespecting women …
Exactly and there are more of us who aren't going to put up with this anymore.
I simply will not stand for someone pointing out the histrionics of a rich, powerful, and desperately needy pair of Hollywood narcs.

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.

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."

We don't need yall telling us who represents the Black community. Do white comedians represent the white community, or just him/herself. I forgot, white people are individuals, but a single Black person is representative of an entire race. GTFOH.
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.

Plus one
He is also a hypocrite since he has selective outrage and targets fellow POC ( his targets mostly black folks) while playing the race card for himself.
He continues to be a jerk to Jada … Will can’t defend her or their marriage …
Now a Jerk to Meghan and misrepresenting the racism she experienced. Meghan said herself never experienced racism prior to dating Harry and passed for Mediterranean or whatever before. It was her mother who warned her the hate was race based.
Self indulgent - don’t believe that slap hurt as much as he makes out … it was a slap not a punch Chris.
Playing victim card that he tried to be nice to Will after that interview about infidelity when Chris has history of talking badly about Jada. Chris acting like Will did not apologize when he did - profusely and multiple times.
And the nonsense blaming Jada for starting the feud back in 2016 when she allegedly asked him to stop hosting the Oscar’s as she was upset Will did not get an Oscar nod that year. Doubt that is even true but anyhoo He made multiple vulgar quips about Jada after that and he made one again last year while hosting the Oscars mocking both her career and her medical hair loss.. (Jada, I love you. GI Jane 2. Can’t wait to see it.” Will laughed at first, saw his wife’s hurt and defended her honor in a stupid way but apologized profusely.
While Rock was making himself out to be a hero for taking last year’s slap like the professional boxer Manny Paqquiao, he failed to admit he had made yet another joke at Jada’s expense. He failed to acknowledge multiple apologies.
He also makes lots of jokes against women. He has made sexual assault jokes in past and trivializes reasons why women may need abortions (why do those positions often go hand in hand?)
He is full of sh$$t and lacks self awareness, grace or actual modesty.
It is possible to be funny while being more self aware and self depreciating - rather than a self righteous hypocrite.
Possible yes. But the nature of stand up comedy is being observant and finding humor in everything things that otherwise are not. Name top 20 comedians and then how may of those are PC. Spoiler Alert: Most are not. Self-deprecating? I personally don't want to hear an overweight comedian talk about being fat or a black comedian talk about how terrible it is to be black. I guess some people do, but that is not who Chris Rock is. It is so hard for me to understand why people cannot understand that you do nothave to like everything that other people do. We live in America. You have the option to turn it off. Saying he is "full iof sh$t". is acting like a immature kid saying a specific food is gross. The absolute language is not called for and using it seems like a l"ack of self-awareness and grace". And it just makes everyone tune you out and become defensive. Just say "I don't like it" would be more effective. Your taste is not everyone else's.
I am entitled to not find misogynistic black bro jokes not funny or deserving fan fare
If he had been more honest about himself I would have been way more forgiving.
He doesn’t need your forgiveness. You’re a PITA, and I don’t mean the bread surrounding a gyro, sweetie.
OK Wallet
I know you’d find more love on Lipstick Alley. You’re stupid is a little too glaring here for people who don’t need their husbands to commit crimes on a stage...
Did Jada say she needed Will to defend her? This was on him and him alone. Chris rock told a classless joke at an event where host rarely take deeply personal jabs at nominees or their guests. The Oscars is not some hole in the wall comedy club. He was out of line. He didn’t deserve to be publicly slapped, but I hardly feel sorry for him. If Will was smart, he would have practiced some self control and taken the time during his acceptance speech to address the issue. If he had, he would have been the hero and Chris would have been exposed for the jerk he is.
Dp- just get a wig. Your hair loss isn’t a big deal.
I know, right?

It was hypocritical as Chris picked on Jada.
If Will looks weak then Chris looks weaker.

Because they’re equal. Sorry!

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.

Dummy, you’re on a thread about a comedy special that premiered fewer than 48 hours ago. Go hit up an Ozempic thread, do something useful for yourself.
More woman hating incel love here. We all know you and could tell you things about yourself...
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.
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 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.

So misogyny is all A ok if I'm a comedien? Bull. He and you are low life knobs.
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.
