ICYMI, here’s why everyone's still talking about Will Smith, Chris Rock and the Oscars
So apologies, but I really do think we need to talk about how this conversation evolved over the course of the week-and what so many people were really saying when they discussed it. It wasn't that every opinion was awful it was that valid points about ableism, misogynoir, unexamined trauma, respectability politics and toxic masculinity were overshadowed by frankly unhinged, if not downright racist, takes from (mostly) white people. Instead… the exact opposite happened (sigh). In fact, I spent this whole week hoping some juicy celebrity story would drop so the internet could talk about literally anything else.
