   Rock fucked around with ableist “jokes” and found out.

   100% respect for Will Smith.

     @thomasfuchs @DarkWraithLord Violence should not be solved through more violence though, even more so among grownups. He should've asked him for apologies instead. That's a very poor image transmitted to millions of viewers, kids included.

     @DarkWraithLord Just like with racism, homophobia, transphobia or anti-semitism — ableist "jokes" are never funny and are verbal violence. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     @thomasfuchs Ya not enough people stand up for their partners. Of course, violence isn’t the answer all the time but there must be more to the story. Will couldn’t be that angry over a joke.

     @tagomago @DarkWraithLord

     There's plenty of occasions where violence actually solves problems.

     Standing up to bullies by punching them actually works. They will stop.

     Asking then for apologizing for being dicks doesn't work.

     @thomasfuchs @DarkWraithLord Violence is a privilege for those who can exert it. Let's try and stop validating it.
