Since Will Smith is back in the News and people are talking about the slap. Some thing that just comes to mind.Is why is it ok to insult people are are not in position to insult you back. Like if you paid for a show that would be one thing. But no one paid to see rock. And no he shouldn't have been slapped. But this idea that comics get to personally insult people and the only recourse people have is to take it is bullocks.

I think it all ties back into people believing comedy should be off limits and that the defense "it's just a joke" excuses all shitty behavior

Because the people taking it generally laughed along with everyone else. Times have changed, and skin has thinned.

That is two different things. People are defending rocks insults. Not just saying he should not have been slapped for it.

Yes in a civilized society one takes off ones glove to slap the offenders face, then you challenge them to pistols at dawn.

Making fun of people for being bald is an insult

No it isnt. He said she looks like another person who was bald in a joking manner.

Thats not insulting. Not all jokes are insults.

BS so if someone had a issue that made them gain weight and someone said they look like boogie that wouldn't be an insult?

Joking someone looks like Santa isn't necessary an insult.

Depends. I dont know who boogie is.

If you compare to someone in a negative light, its insulting. Misgendering falls under this.

Weight gain, in general, will probably lean on insulting since a lot of folks view being fat as bad.
