He wears what's comfortable, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Adam Sandler is famous for shooting movies in exotic/fun locations so that it doubles as a vacation for him and the actors/crew. He's beloved in the industry, and widely regarded as a good, friendly, loyal, down to earth person. Why on earth should someone like that be excluded from an awards show?

I think it was also part of a skit.

Hes rich, that’s the only reason. I like to dress comfy too but if you show up to a black tie event in shorts, it’s not being comfy, it’s being a disrespectful jerk.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Please explain how wearing a hoodie to a "black tie event" is disrespectful, and who it's disrespectful to.

[–] GunValkyrie@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

People need to find things to be mad over apparently. No one was disrespected. They clearly let him in dressed like that. And aside from the chat here no one is talking about this...

No one was disrespected

I say it's disrespectful to the attendees who put in the effort and money into looking nice for an evening where everybody agreed this would be the norm. I can't speak for these celebrities, but if it were my party and it was explicitly formal, I'd be annoyed about someone not following decorum.

It’s disrespectful to the people who set it up and to everyone else who is there to have a nice evening. Im not big on wrestling formal attire but I got invited to see the nutcracker at the symphony so I put on a nice sweater. Imagine you invite someone to a wedding and they show up like that, you’re gonna say that’s not disrespect I mean if you don’t find dressing like that to a black tie event disrespectful that’s just a reflection on you

How exactly does "seeing a man wearing shorts and hoodie" affect your "nice evening?" Seems weird to let something so small that is completely unrelated to you affect you so much that you feel disrespected. Honestly I'd argue your projection is more a reflection on you here.

How

I mean if you don’t find dressing like that to a black tie event disrespectful that’s just a reflection on you

How

I'm begging you, explain how it's disrespectful. I don't think you can, because I think you agree with me that it isn't actually disrespectful.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's offensive, but I can agree it's disrespectful. Respect is shown by the lengths someone goes through to demonstrate someone/ something is important and held in high regard.

Examples:

When you are talking to someone you respect, you demonstrate it by making a point to convey that you are listening to them and thinking about what they are saying.

When a tragedy happens, we often show respect by holding a moment of silence where we interrupt whatever we are doing to hold a moment to think about the victims.

Similarly, a traditional way of demonstrating respect for people's contributions in a given field is through an awards ceremony where attendees both given their attention and dress in formal attire to mark the significance and importance of the event.

It’s not my job to educate you or teach you manners or how to live in a society. How can I explain all that in a chat reply when you’re clearly ignorant and weren’t raised right. I can’t fix you dude

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

If you understood how it's disrespectful, it wouldn't be hard to explain. Here's an example:

Sexual assault is disrespectful because it violates a person's bodily autonomy, which is a fundamental human right.

See? Easy. Now, try that for "people who dress wrong".

The community is selectively bred Redditors, fam. We're just lucky they ban the obvious racism here.

Just pop your head into the threads about how showers are a scam or whatever and keep it in mind whenever you're talking to them

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Dress codes. We just went over this.

I just read the whole conversation, and I don't believe you did.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

There are two kinds of people, people that understand context

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And those to make shit up in their head got you and I know which one you are.

Okay buddy bell curve

Yeah being dependable and easy to work with can go a lot further in the media than people think! It's also why sometimes you see these writers and directors with a string of shitty movies in their resume who keep getting hired for big-budget projects. Pretty often it's just because they're a cheap hire and don't cause drama lol.
