RE: IS VIOLENCE EVER AN OPTION?

in GEMS3 years ago

Does that warranty him throwing hands?

As I said, I do not justify his actions.

Tagging it as a 'mental condition' is quite intellectually dishonest, in my opinion.

It's a medical condition like I said not mental

I am certain he won't have the same energy if it was a woman or white comedian saying the same thing

Are you suggesting he has a bias against his race, or it will be okay to hit a woman? Also, white comedians apologize before they make any joke about black ppl.

I am of the opinion that comedians can joke about anything

No, they can't! There is a line they shouldn't cross, it's the same way we don't joke about serious health conditions especially when you're referring to a specific, nothing is funny about that.

These comedians share some of the darkest and worst experiences on stage and we neither show compassion nor gauge our reaction.

It's okay to joke about a condition when you're the one experiencing it (dark humour) but not when you have no idea what the other person is going through. It's not about censorship it's about sensitivity.

By the way, this is your man crush doing the same thing decades ago.

My man crush? I don't have to crush on him to say my opinion. Also, nobody is saying it's right when Will does it. Also, if it's Karma should it be on Will and not the wife?

Sort:  

It's a medical condition like I said not mental

typo. Sorry.

Maybe you should listen to Jim Carr

No, they can't! There is a line they shouldn't cross, it's the same way we don't joke about serious health conditions especially when you're referring to a specific, nothing is funny about that.

I have heard cancer jokes and even worse. People on the receiving end don't always get triggered. If I was dying I probably would like to joke about than get sobs from people who don't care

It is okay to joke about anything. I am not going to be a gatekeeper of jokes.

Also, if it's Karma should it be on Will and not the wife?

Funny how she isn't even the focus of this debate and has said little about it. Mr. Smith is taking the fall here. How convenient
