I wish the Oscars would not have become a place to watch assault on camera, and be left asking 1. Is it ok to joke about someone’s illness (no) 2. Is it ok to assault someone physically following #1 (no) 3. Was any of this staged (who knows: it’s show biz & Oscars ratings 📉)

This is definitely not the ugliest moment, ma'am. They gave a fucking standing ovation to Roland Polanski for winning an award that he couldn't even show up to accept, without risking arrest. I'd say that's definitely uglier.

I’m sure what Chris Rock said was offensive I’m also sure that there is no excuse for what Will Smith did Optics of giving a man an award a few minutes after being violent are not good Male violence escapes justice much of the time It is the pandemic that will outlast any other

It was a slap. Obviously slapping is never right, but it was a *slap* from a distance, that didn’t even move Chris. Please don’t exaggerate the violence of a Black man, there’s enough of that already going around.

Ableism is violence too and there’s a reason it’s not included in the ‘don’t condone violence’ takes pass it on.

Wow, @Zoom's decision to bypass the security settings of their customers in order to boost its marketplace demand is a bold move, to put it mildly. CISOs discovering this after the fact will be fuming.

So, which act should be immune to criticism/consequence, the shit joke about disability or the resort to violence? It can't be neither, this is _Twitter_.

☎️ Old Twitter was a loose collection of niche communities with blurry boundaries between them, discussing niche topics. 📱Today's Twitter is a loose collection of niche perspectives, commenting relentlessly on The Mainstream Topic of The Day™. I want Old Twitter back.

Chris Rock could've used his airtime for anything and he chose to make fun of a Black woman with alopecia. Where is the outrage about that?

The only topic of conversation should be that women are tired of their appearances being the focal point, and worse—the American ass feminine and beauty standards/expectations.

Violence has no place in the Acad—ok then strip the awards from every man credibly accused of sexual or domestic abuse or shut the hell up.

Emily G (@EmilyGorcenski)Mon, 28 Mar 2022 06:30 +0000

Casual reminder for the “arrest Will Smith” crowd: incarceration is a racist, classist complex that abuses and exploits people. Almost no one deserves to be there.

For all those defending Will Smith’s violence and assault on Chris Rock, would you have same reaction if Amy Schumer had made the joke and Smith hit her?

Whenever I wake up to American culture drama there’s a good 5 mins on twitter where it’s only third tier removed meta memes that make zero sense, then a genuine article pops up and it makes it all slap into place.

I have to keep reminding myself, the monetization/promotion strategy of falsely claiming “cancel culture” martyrdom *relies* on otherwise-smart people objecting to the stupidity of the claims. It’s part of how the grift runs. We need to deny it attention & amplify what’s real.
