I don't know what the actual story is because I don't know either person, the context of their relationships towards each other, the moments that lead up to that moment or what was running through their minds as they were doing it.

It is possible that Chris Rock wanted to get a rise out of them but didn't expect it escalate like this. It's also possible that he just didn't know she had a medical condition and the joke didn't land as he intended. That's what people mean by nuance. There's no story for me to keep straight. It isn't my story.

It's silly, over the top celebrity drama that isn't all that serious as much as people want it to be. It's a slap and a tantrum in response to being offended over a joke. I think it's okay for them to be offended over the joke but it's not okay for Will to react like he did.

Every single one of you who is doing the "I'm not defending Will Smith but both sides, nuance, you're all deranged!" nonsense keeps doing the same thing where you cut out all the parts of the post that rip your point apart and only quote one sentence to respond too

Absolutely none of this puts Chris Rock in the wrong, which was your claim. It's not "nuance" go to "Well maybe Chris Rock thought will Smith would be offended and maybe he didn't."

And again, "offended" Will Smith laughed at the "Offensive joke that was intended to be offensive but Chris Rock didn't intend to cause offense."

"We don't know what was going through Chris Rock's head, therefore both him and Will Smith are in the wrong" is nonsense

Again if a guy smashes up your car because he claims his wife thought you lookedat her funny and was offended, the point of "Well maybe you did look at her funny, maybe she took the look the wrong way. Therefore you're both in the wrong, it's nuanced. You're deranged and can only see one good side and one evil side in every situation!" is total nonsense

This whole argument is utterly nutterly butterly and only being presented because the dude in the wrong is someone like Will Smith

The fact none of you can even keep your claim consistent or respond to people's points tearing it apart just shows you don't even believe it yourselves.
