#anti johnny depp
so the jury also found that Depp’s lawyer calling her allegations of abuse “a hoax” was defamatory (so I guess they do find that he abused her) so this was literally just saying “yes he abused you but you can never speak about it.”
you can have pictures but it’s not enough you can have corroborating witnesses but it isn’t enough you can have texts where he fantasizes about murdering and raping you but it isn’t enough you can have him admitting he was controlling and angry and violent but it isn’t enough. this is going to get people killed
It’s not evidence of abuse that JD was not there for the final verdict.
It does show, in my opinion, a great amount of disrespect and along with how he conducted himself a continuation of a certain amount of, let’s say, glibness.
But again, it’s not evidence of abuse. It’s not.
That being said -
Can you imagine if Amber Heard had done the same fucking thing?
No seriously, can you even fucking imagine how people would’ve responded if she didn’t appear in court for the final verdict, for any reason at all? Any reason? Let alone to make a surprise guest appearance for a concert in another country?
We would still be getting 15-20 articles a day about how that shows who she really is. Proof that’s she’s every horrible thing possible. Or what true gentlemen JD was to respect the jury, judge, and everyone else in the court room, and even the state of Virginia by attending, unlike the she-devil.
My head explodes thinking about how social media would’ve responded.
It’s not even JUST that people shrug it off completely or maybe (maybe) lightly criticized him that has made me so angry; it’s because if it had been her – many of those same people would’ve have spewed nonstop vitriol about her.
I likely would’ve strongly criticized her myself; because that choice shows a lack of respect.
I’m just so fucking furious at how the blatant bias continues; how so many people act like that it shouldn’t be criticized one bit because well it was a previous engagement, and he couldn’t possibly get out of it, there was no chance at all, it just couldn’t be done.
the truth is most men couldn’t give a shit about male domestic abuse victims. they don’t even give a shit about women who are victims of domestic abuse. not the stats , the commonness and normalisation of it all. nothing. the depp/heard trial made it okay for men to jump in on the misogynistic videos, ripping AH apart through memes, parody videos, because they saw so many women openly and happily taking part in it too this time. most of them didn’t even give a shit about depp, and probably don’t still. even after the verdict. where was this level of support for brendan fraser, terry crews, for all the male victims of kevin spacey, of bryan singer? where are the petitions calling for ezra miller to be removed from the flash?
all this meant was having the chance and excuse to be openly misogynistic for views, and receive praise, clout, hoards of new followers from it, because there was such a huge following for depp (the person they think he is because of his films/roles). to openly hate, despise, troll, and tear apart a woman finally. it was only about their own stats, their new found grasp at popularity. they knew they wouldn’t be called out on the sexism, the misogyny because it was fair game. it was amber - the liar. the crier. amber turd. the lies, the jokes about abuse and rape. the misinformation spread like wildfire; public opinion formed from biased tiktok, twitter bots. the lack of critical thinking staggering. “our capn’ jack!”. none of these meme pages, the bots, faceless accounts had anyintention of learning about the truth - not about the evidence given in the previous trial. how he lost because the evidence against him was staggering. they have no intention to learn about the domestic abuse statistics. sharing charities, gofundme’s. most of them don’t even understand why the pair were in court in the first place - the legalities of the trial and what that means to other victims of abuse (past, present and future). they couldn’t give a shit about any of them because they didn’t care beforethe trial in the first place. they even ignored that #metoo counted male victims of domestic abuse too.
his supporters don’t care what his win means to victims, and how it’s stripped them of their right to call themselves victims of abuse. even his ‘fans’ who hailed themselves as victims of abuse, ironically don’t even understand that they can’t even call themselves that anymore, without threat of being sued - because of his win. they don’t care about the victims that don’t have millions in their bank, with no way of escaping their abuser, unable to divorce them, move to another country. they’d do it all over again online to the next woman who this happens to so publicly. because social media reeks of misogyny and society allows it. this trial has set back women decades, and men have jumped happily in on the trend too because women were so prevalent in tearing AH down too. all for that shrivelled red-wine-stained-teeth wrinkly ballsack of a man - * who by the way is back in court for assaulting someone on a fucking film set.
Indians to Johnny Depp: ‘Keep Your Word, Buy Wounded Knee’
Johnny Depp once pledged to buy Wounded Knee and give the land back to Native Americans. He never did. (He also claimed to be part Native American during the promotional campaign for The Lone Ranger but the results were never confirmed or released….maybe it’s just his sense of humor.)
funny how the delusional jd supporters on tiktok have never seen the texts johnny sent to paul bettany about amber or even bothered to read all of the evidence she provided but were quick to believe that jack sparrow was a smol innocent bean and that amber was an evil bitch who just wanted to set him up..and when you bring all that up along with his problematic and violent past they are immediately like “But have you seen the trial?” Yes, I have and I also saw the social media smear campaign against Amber. She never stood a chance against him. You mocked a woman who had the courage to testify against her abuser while the whole world was on his side. I hope you all feel deeply ashamed of yourselves. This is why most women don’t speak out. Because no one believes them.
“ I don’t care what one thinks about me or what judgments you want to make about what happened in the privacy of my own home, in my marriage, behind closed doors. I don’t presume the average person should know those things. And so I don’t take it personally,” Heard said.
“But even somebody who is sure I’m deserving of all this hate and vitriol, even if you think that I’m lying, you still couldn’t look me in the eye and tell me that you think on social media there’s been a fair representation. You cannot tell me that you think that this has been fair.”
“Even if you think that I’m lying, you still couldn’t look me in the eye and tell me that you think on social media there’s been a fair representation. You cannot tell me that you think that this has been fair.”
what’s crazy is i remember how much johnny depp was disliked and even downright hated before all of this. people hated his willy wonka. they hated the last few pirates films. they hated most if not all of his recent films. people were pissed when he became grindelwald at the end of fantastic beasts. i was there! i remember it!
That’s what I was saying! His career was already on the decline before all this crap started. What could that Washington Post op-ed possibly do that Mortdecai and Dark Shadows hasn’t done already?
People are already flipping the script on Megan the stallion, Melissa Benoist, and Evan Rachel Wood.
I said this trial was going to set a dangerous precedent for abuse victims and it will be ugly in the next couple of weeks. It’s going to be ugly for awhile
Please please please do not ignore what is happening to abuse victims and survivors rn. It’s very important to equip yourself with knowledge and be ready to stand up for those of us who are too scared to speak.
I cannot even express enough how ugly this will all be for a lot of people.
I’m being so serious it’s very important now more than ever that people are ready to combat the violence that’s about to come out fully. Johnny depp was literally just the beginning and people were so quiet about that
aaron taylor johnson and charlie heaton were both groomed by older, more powerful women when they were new to the industry. terry crews spoke of being sexually harassed by an executive. brendan fraser was sexually assaulted and the experience was so horrible for him that it spiraled him into a depression, affecting his career. his assaulter never faced charges. the kevin spacey trial is coming up where he is being charged for sexual assault.
if you GENUINELY care for male victims, at least famous ones, you’d make some noise about these cases. however, these past few months, i have hardly seen a bolstering of these cases. instead i see a campaign of inappropriate memes and edits being made. is that your way to show you “care about male victims” lmao?? by making a mockery of a case discussing dv topics?? i think people like to hide behind the guise of caring about male victims when it’s really just an excuse to engage in inappropriate, obscene behaviors.
one of the scariest outcomes of that johnny depp - amber heard trial is that it has people deadass convinced that actually, men being the victims of evil women is the new hot take we all need to pay attention to more. abuse, especially domestic abuse, is extremely gendered and trying to debunk that fact is extremely dangerous. 95% of abuse victims are women. men can be victims of domestic abuse but most of the time they are abused by other men then. women can be the abuser but most of them time they are abusing other women then. it doesn’t mean that men never happen to be victims of abusive women but it happens very rarely.
depp stans trying to deny that and acting like “women are probably more likely to be villains and abusive than the men they’ve accused of being abusive” is the new woke take to live by, as if the very reason why so many people immediately chose depp’s side while participating in amber heard’s public abuse, isn’t that the patriarchy still exists, women have been villainized throughout history and continue to be opressed, silenced and abused by men. yall really fucking hate women and then try to explain why men are the bigger victims in our society. make it make sense
“You know how many men are starting to sarcastically call their wives/girlfriends ‘Amber’ or ‘Miss Heard’ when they are upset or angry?
I keep getting messages and comments from women saying this is happening to them in arguments with spouse or exes.
The damage is done.
This case and the societal response to it, the global bullying, mocking and hatred towards Amber is destroying VAWG, feminism & any progress we’ve made breaking down stigma of domestic/sexual abuse - either that - or we had never made any progress at all & we were in an echo chamber.
Last week was the first time a woman commented to tell me that her ex has started calling her ‘Amber’ as an insult.
Then another woman commented that her husband threatened her and when she cried, he called her ‘Amber’
I’ve started seeing more and more comments.
This morning I woke up to a comment from a woman who said her ex was screaming at her in front of their daughter so she asked him to stop screaming and lower his voice and he said ‘Ok Miss Heard’ and DARVO her.
The fact that these comments appear to be from women from different countries, different ages, different backgrounds and yet men are starting to use ‘Amber’ and ‘Miss Heard’ as an insult is fucking terrifying.
I keep finding myself questioning what the real agenda was of televising this trial, and the media coverage of it.
What was the real purpose of tearing apart a woman like this for the whole world to watch on YouTube and Tiktok with their popcorn?
I think we are finding out.”
happy pride i guess an lgbt woman has to pay her abuser for telling her truth
