CMV: Alopecia is not a disability. Chris Rock's joke was not ableist
I also don’t think it was ableist, but it is a joke about a real medical condition, and that is something that disabled people have to deal with a lot as well, so I could see why someone could feel personally offended by it
Preach!!!!! Thank you! Has everyone lost their flocking minds! How was he not immediately escorted out for assault. The only saving grace would be most people probably thought it was a skit. But after he starting screaming I don't get how the just continued like nothing happened ...
I feel like if Will Smith didn't do what he did the joke would have gone by and no one would even mention it again. It would have just been lost in the shuffle of the rest of the show. No one would have remembered or cared.
Pfizer sponsored the Oscar’s and just came out with a new alopecia drug. Alopecia is also a possible side effect of vaccination. Can’t make this shit up.
What difference does it make if he was making fun of a disability vs another medical disorder?This is like arguing "I'm not racist for hating the Chinese, that's an ethnicity!"
This is just semantics. Ableist/disability might not be the correct terms to use, but it's still shitty to joke about people's insecurities
Making fun of bald men = okMaking fun of bald women = not okRegular people committing assault = not okRich people committing assault = okThat’s just how society is.
"or interpersonally interacts with the world. "It affects her interpersonal interactions greatly. People respond very differently to bald women who are exceedingly rare in our society vs their interactions with men.
The nature of a joke depends on who the audience is, I believe in the show biz world, it was definitely a pretty mild flocking joke, being bald isn't necessarily a thing only sick people have, she just looked like a character because she was bald, it wasn't like haha u have x disease.
Hot take, who cares, far worse happens every single day, and putting the actions and lives of celebrities on pedastools merely distracts the public from the shit going on in our own country and outside of it.

The GI Jane look is beautiful and bad ass. Total compliment. She needs to get over herself. Even Will laughed about it at first.
Did he even make fun of Jada tho? Maybe he meant she is a beautiful bald women just like Demi Moore in GI Jane?
Insult comics making an 'ableist joke' isn't even bad. It's on brand. It doesn't even flocking matter if that dude literally made a verbal hate crime before our very eyes, the response is not allowed to be "random act of violence that has zero repercussions because the victim does not want to deal with the fall out and hassle of dragging Will flocking Smith to court"
