intentionally calling people by the wrong name is a sick burn to a subset of people. feels like something you’d see on texags.

Or the Astros thread?

I don't care if he is or isn't gay. Power to him if he is and is out about it. I don't see him in any of those pictures holding up a sign that says "Tyler The Creator and I have been in a relationship since 2018". 

Pancho is full of shit and deflecting because he used some questionable language commenting about the situation and would rather drag this out than admit that because he personally doesn't like me as a poster. 

No I didn’t use questionable language. First off this is surly. Second, you’re the only one who is making an issue if this. Third, since when do you need gays to hold a sign that says “I’m gay” for you?

Once again, you cannot deflect from something you’re right about. You know I’m right. You chose for some dumbass reason to get your ass all flaky over a post I had considering the rest of the posts in this thread and on this website? Did you go apeshit the hundreds of times the word “faggot” was used here? No, you didn’t yet saying someone is the gay of their family is now all of a sudden eliciting righteousness?

Fuck outta here bro.

Will Smith was afraid that he'd no longer be an A-list celebrity if Americans thought he was divorced?

 

Exactly. Brad Pitt seems to be doing okay and he went through something messier with (at the time) an actual A-list wife. That’s one of the reason I don’t buy in to the creepy Scientology conspiracy theories about him staying in a cuckold relationship and the other is it’s 2022.
 

Why would a Will Smith be afraid of coming out as gay? If anything that would revive his career and popularity (I know it sounds weird to say after winning an Oscar for a movie nobody saw). He would be celebrated and honored and considered brave and tap into a culture and demographic of fans that have been turned off by him. Heck he might even look redeemable from all this Jada crap and get to rewrite the story that he’s the real victim and get a lot of sympathy.

But Occam’s razor is he’s not gay, just a weirdo.

Those people happen to be Scientologists.  And Will, like Travolta, has been mixed up in their bullshit for a minute. 

Ain't no hard evidence here, but it adds up.  Will needs a beard.  Jada (was) a good 'un.  Until she wanted to get some real dick that was into her.  She splits.  Will panics because if you want to be an A-lister who appeals to the majority of Americans you gotta keep up appearances a la Tom Cruise.  So he gets her back but she's putting him through the ringer.  He can't bail because then it all comes out.  So Jada wears the pants in that fucked up family.  And of course, he's being ridiculed for being a cuckold, etc.  Can't sit well with a guy who is used to having everything go his way. 

If you play the tape back, Will is laughing at Rock's joke.  People think he went nuts because he saw Jada looking pissed, but they only think that because the camera cut to her reaction right before he got up.  In reality, you can hear Rock say "Aw, that was a nice one."  Implying he could have been making jokes about Will being a cuck.  THAT'S when Will gets up, acts a fool, and then is trying to hold back tears while yelling once he gets back to his seat.  He panicked.  Wife who owns the keys to his life is pissed and Rock is hinting about some serious shit Will has already taken plenty of heat for.  Time to flip the fuck out.   

Dude is having a mental breakdown because Jada has the goods on him and he's trapped.  Or maybe he just really misses his wife's hair.  Who the fuck knows. 

I haven't watched every episode of Fresh Prince, but I too sat through I Am Legend on a date.  Decent enough flick.  Ending definitely could have been better.  Should have stuck more to the novel where he's actually seen as the bad guy by all the vamps. 

[closetohumping 17455]

Was listening to the radio and apparently, Rock wasn't aware of her condition.  

[Dennis Taylor 18849]

This was all a setup to promote Will's next project, a aports-themed epic where he plays a Russian woman in the slapfight league, a la Stallone in Over The Top

 

 

[TurkeyChew 383]

Even before the slap heard around the world, the Oscars was having a come-back: the broadcast drawing nearly 15.36 million viewers — a huge 56% jump from last year’s 9.85 million

I would imagine for at least next year, Oscars will be more intriguing to try and catch for the drama?

Nice apology that was dumb. He doesn’t owe anyone anything. And, I would’ve loved it had he responded with “you’d be less pissed if I’d slept with her / you’d let me sleep with her.”  He took the high road, which is admirable, but apologizing is dumb. Fuck the Smiths. They are weirdos and all of their careers are over. 

Agree with everything you said but the last part.  This ain't cancelling them.

I know that as a young man, I was certainly volunteered for fights by various girls.  For the most part, I obliged.  But there was definitely once that I thought "are you out of your fucking mind?".  And you're exactly right--it is abusive.

We've been subjected to a lot of talk over the past few years about "toxic masculinity."  But at some point, we need to talk about toxic femininity.  Because sitting there and encouraging violence without bearing any of the consequences of that violence is some serious bullshit.

I was at a trial in Atlanta a few years ago, wherein, a “lady” wanted to rob a guy getting money out of an ATM for a $50 hooker, told a young dumb 16 year old with a gun that the guy had disrespected her and called him a pussy. Said kid walks up and shoots the guy in the head twice, takes all the money he had on his body and gives it to the “lady”. The lady only got hit with 5 months because she testified against the kid saying it was all his idea, and the kid got life.
Only reason I know this is because the real story was talked about ad nauseam by the witnesses that knew the kid and “lady” and as it all went down. I was never so happy to be out of a room as much as that witness room. Streets are crazy.

I mean everyone’s take on a video makes me understand the Bible better. Like if God came down to earth and said “what’s up bitches?” And it was filmed and witnessed by millions, millions more would have an alternative take…because. 
 

all I know is Will seems like a weird mofo. And his wife is batshit from the few episodes of her talk show online I watched. She is like Tom Cruise’s Mimi Rogers! And we know Mimi is the reason Tom went Scientology.

While I'm here, might as well respond to this bullshit. I read the article. Hill is despised by many because she is a racebaiting know-nothing who insists on forcing her politics and "every white person is a racist" worldview into everything she does. So fuck her and anyone supporting that shit.

She's also fundamentally wrong. Outside of the Hollywood handbag-swinging, pearl-clutching white elitists living in a fucking bubble, and the bubble celebrities are living in on Twitter and Insta, white America doesn't give any more of a fuck about the incident than black America or any other demographically-sliced America. Twitter isn't America. The only actual conversations most people are having about that incident are the entertaining ones surrounding the shock aspects of it coupled with the bizarre premise in which Rock did nothing in the aftermath. This isn't a racial issue, no matter how badly a bunch of politically obsessed mouthbreathers want to make it. 

[bad_teammate 13221]

I read the entire piece and I have no idea what her point is other than, "Meh, no big deal."

Whites and blacks have basically the same attitude about it, whites slightly more "he shouldn't have done it" than blacks. Blacks identical to Hispanic.

An interesting breakdown in the provided poll is age difference. Older folks are far more strongly against Smith than younger generations, which is funny since part of the social defense of Smith is how he is "defending his woman" in a more traditional view of society.

18-29yo: 40% "not acceptable"

65+ yo: 77% "not acceptable"
