Oscars drama is raising awareness about simple misdemeanor battery.
howabout assault and privilege in the academy
i was gonna write exactly the same thing
If you have time to care about any of this your life is being wasted.
So alopecia is personal and ASSAULT IS…ok? what a world we are living in 🤦🏻♂️
Yes, physical assault is wrong, but so is targeting someone else’s health condition. The world may have found that joke funny, but she clearly did not. His emotional response does not negate her dignity.
@Paying more will save the planet. I don’t go to comedy shows…
@Jack Sprat I can tell
@Paying more will save the planet. Ok.
@David Webster Yes, we know physical assault is illegal – no one’s disagreed, here (remember?) (do we have to be as prepared for that?) the world found that lame joke ‘funny’ – she did not – you’re undermining her dignity, regardless of the emotional response.
@HungrySanta meh, presumptuous hubris.
Oscars should be raising awareness of violence towards others.
b on b violence
Yes she had alopecia, no Chris may not have known, Will laughed as well, does not justify a physical attack.
Silver lining.
Gee, and I thought it would have raised awareness about assault – my bad.
Truueeeeee
(Androgenetic) alopecia affects most men, but I guess it only matters when it affects women. This type of male alopecia is also permanent, unlike other kinds.
Assault by a star why all the creeps get away with abuse in the industry, looked like a cokehead outburst and the swearing that of a domestic abuser.
I’ll go on to think of a hundred Alopecia jokes. Jada and Will will be in every one.
If you have time to care about any of this your life is being wasted.
Bahahahahaha. Okay
I’m not so sure awareness of alopecia needs to be raised.
I’m sure those that have it are already aware.
So alopecia is personal and ASSAULT IS…ok? what a world we are living in
Oscar’s sponsored by PFE, PFE soon to release treatment for Alopecia.
Yes she had alopecia, no Chris may not have known, Will laughed as well, does not justify a physical attack.
PERHAPS IN RESPECT OF UKRAINE THOSE OSCARS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CANCELLED THIS YEAR AND NOTHING TO DO WITH WILL’S STUPID ACT!!
Gee, and I thought it would have raised awareness about assault – my bad.
