Slapping is calculated - it can cause as much immediate pain as a punch but is highly unlikely to cause lasting injury (bruising, fractures, actual head injuries). Punching someone is (physically) highly risky and could end up resulting in heavy charges like ABH or even GBH - a slap (unless it's a VERY hefty slap) is only going to be considered a minor assault.

Also high risk of self-injury with a closed fist punch.

Slapping is also seen as a way of degrading your weaker opponent. A bullies tactic.

It's definitely a thing, like Parmnion said it's kind of a degrading thing. Nate Diaz the UFC fighter does it all the time during his fights like a kind of a baity thing, he calls it the Stockton Slap

[bots]

a good old fashioned punch are even better, a headbutt would have immortalised Will

[Christmas Dynasnow]

lets see Will slap someone who can slap him back...

oh wait

he wont

So let me get this straight , you would rather see Will Smith punch or headbutt just because he's a 'man' ??!. Yet if he did DO that ,then he would have caused bloodshed & probably serious injury and probably hated even more . That literally makes no sense & if anything just reinforces the toxic masculinity.

I actually think if he punched, or headbutted Chris Rock then security guards would have removed him from the building, or something similar . And someone else would have to accept his Oscar . The fact it was a quick slap is probably why he was still allowed to stay. He was only asked to leave.

I'm not just referring to BOTS , I'm talking about other comments I've seen where people think the 'slap' wasn't what a man should give another man .

Hence why I'm saying did they want Will Smith to punch Chris Rock's lights out and get in serious trouble?.

[Parmy]

I thought the worst thing about it all was the awkward silence for about a minute after it..I'm cringing for Chris even typing that.

He should have flew at him tbh, that would have been a natural action if you can back up your words. Chris rock did none of this.

Smith new this, that's why he just bitch slapped him. (Excuse the term, but it's the best way to describe it because the term comes from the way a husband in certain areas discipline their wives)..that's where the humiliation comes in. When you bitch slap another man, you are saying to him, this is how I beat my women.

So instead they invited him on stage and awarded him with one of the big 5 Oscars.

"Mr Smith, we'd like you to leave the building"

"**** you! Do you know who I am?"

"Oh yeah, sorry about that Mr Smith, enjoy the rest of your evening"


It probably went something like that.

[Alf]

It was fitting that he did go back on the stage to get his award because they say that a criminal always returns to the scene of their crime.

i think they probably didnt want to drag him out live on tv, but they could have waited until an ad break and forced him to leave

Yes, make him leave in the Commercial Break
that would have been sensible.

Someone else could have taken his Oscar
on his behalf.

There is footage of smith being comforted by the producers during the break.

Samuel L Jackson won his first Oscar and had it presented to him by Denzel Washington. Will Smith took the shine off that great moment for Sammy.
