Everybody who hates Trump thinks the Smith/Rock video is real.
Everybody who supports Trump knows it's fake.
If you ask someone why they think it's real, they'll give you emotional reasons: Smith was defending his wife, neither he nor Rock would hurt their careers by faking something like this, Smith cried afterwards, etc. etc.
Not a bloody one of them says, "I looked at the video of the entire event. I saw how Rock just stood there with his arms locked down, eyes shut, and leaning into Smith. I noticed how there was only one camera angle and that made it impossible to see if Smith's hand even connected. I actually looked at the source and drew my own conclusion."
You get the picture. We are once again getting feels over reals, exactly as we did during the election and ever since.
The Left refuses to look at direct sources. They won't do it. They will literally scream and shut you down and cut you off before looking at an actual direct source for anything.
Instead, they listen to the opinions of friends, politically correct strangers, and Mainstream News. And that's it.
This is an absolutely unbelievable phenomenon, yet here we are.
Take an informal poll yourself and see what you come up with among your own family and friends. I'll bet you will see the same.
Yes. That's why I posted about it.
Another fun fact: Feminist women who yesterday were posting about how much they hate "toxic masculinity" now have nothing but love for Will Smith over the way he defended his wife
Unbelievable but here we are
The point is: Why do so many refuse to look at a direct source and instead only listen to Mainstream News and the second-hand opinions of friends?
The exact same thing happened with the 2020 election that's happened here.
I just wish I could figure out why.
I'm old enough to remember being taught, "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
your so right. the first thing i thought when i saw will smith "punch or slap" or whatever ...it didn't even look like he touched him at all...i thought it looked ridiculous
I have found the opposite of your informal poll with my informal poll. I think it is real and I support Trump. I have seen men be manipulated and break down. There is a lot of history leading up to his event and there are people who are trying to direct this narrative down the "it was fake" trail.
Ive said elsewhere Im not going to die on this hill but keep digging people. There is more to this story. Will is on the Epstien island flight logs. Jada has been openly cucking him for the past few years:
Jada openly cucking Will-Red Table Talk
Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry trying to calm Will down during Oscars commercial break.
Imagine if one of them (either) was white.
I found the entire thing bizarre. And you’d never see that happen, planned or impromptu, with Dave Chappelle. On the other hand, it looked like a fake blow. A lot like a WWF move IMO.
Here an interesting take on the slap incident: https://youtu.be/M_Rd2YBAa-o
No. Now you are making a very big assumption. Saying 'Everybody' feels a certain way is just too broad of a statement.
I am a Trump supporter and I believe the slap was the real deal. I've been studying body language for many years and can spot subtle indicators of mental illness, guilt, sadness, love, and so on and have gotten pretty reliably good at picking up the 'tells' that show the truth.
So, the multiple film clips available were watched on my large 4k big screen monitor in slow motion multiple times. I concluded that it was real.
I think Will is feeling old, cucked and unloved by his wife and he's heard ad nauseum all the gossip that has been said about her cheating on him and also the discussion of their weird and sexually confused children and criticism on their parenting styles, etc.
And then, add his extreme nervousness for being nominated for an Academy award and he got triggered when Chris made a gentle and funny jab at his wife. I mean, at first Will laughed until his wife gave him the stink eye. He then had to stand up for her (or be berated later) and proved to himself in that moment he wasn't going to take it lying down.
Chris's lack of response was because he was stunned at the slap and was simply not expecting Will to do anything at all like that. Remember he'd been holding his hands behind his back and I'm sure he thought Will's approach was going to be a finger wagging or something comical.
So, you and I will disagree, but that is OK!
