Whenever anything important happens in the world, millions of incels wait until their idol Joe Rogan vocalises his opinion before they can share their own, so it’s surprising that it’s taken him almost three full days to get out what he thinks about Will Smith’s infamous slap.

Thankfully though, the time has come for him to share his thoughts on the latest episode of his podcast:
Will Smith slapping Chris Rock “sets a terrible precedent for comedy clubs. Like, are people going to decide that they’re going to go on stage and smack a comedian now?” asked @joerogan. https://t.co/DkM6aATXdA pic.twitter.com/jAtUWOG7Rj

You can’t just go smack a man in the face in front of the world and go about business as usual. It sets a terrible precedent in so many different ways.
It sets a terrible precedent for comedy clubs. Like, are people going to decide to go on stage and smack a comedian now?
I don’t necessarily think people are going to change their behavior but dumb people might.
But also it’s like what are we saying as a society when the people that we look up to, for whatever reason, for good or for bad, we look up to actors.
And the Academy Awards is supposed to be them in their most regal- their most regal outfits, their best behavior and to drop down to violence for something so innocuous as a G.I. Jane joke.
And then sit there quivering, saying ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your fuckin’ mouth’, and everybody’s just gotta sit there in the shit that you just took on the table.
You just pulled your pants down and took a shit on the dinner table, and they all have to just sit there and look at that. That’s what it’s like. The whole idea behind it is completely irrational.
But what I’m saying is like, these people live in this fake world of, you know, you’re protected by guards, you’re driven by limos, you’re on the red carpet, like all of it is crazy life.
And he’s so God damn famous, and so removed from regular discourse and interaction with regular people, that he, for whatever reason in his head, acted like he’s a character in a movie.
I think I actually agree with most of what he’s saying there for once. The funniest parts are definitely either how he makes it all about him by mentioning comedy clubs, or when he says that dumb people might change their behaviour because of it. Super ironic because so many dumb people have changed their behaviour because of the shit he regularly spouts on his podcast. Remember the whole ivermectin debacle?
