last thing on this Depp situation, I promise: the LGBTQ+ people defending him so hard are embarrassing because he has repeatedly shown his dislike of us with his biphobia towards amber and his misgendering of her trans friend including on the stand.
whether you think he’s innocent in this or not, he’s still a vile bigoted man. and while no one deserves false abuse accusations, making him out to be some pure innocent baby who has never done anything wrong is extremely questionable.
In addition to being biphobic/transphobic he’s also racist.
Johnny Depp started dating Winona Ryder when she was 17 and he was fucking 25 and he is literally known for dating women 20+ years younger than him, which is predatory as fuck.
was cleaning up my drafts & found this post about gilly i wrote months ago that i chose not to share then; will share now:
Gilly is distressed, in deep depression, Sam wonders why that might be. Maybe the sea is scaring her. Maybe the child is hurting her. Maester Aemon tells us the truth: “Sam,” the old man whispered, “you have two good eyes, and yet you do not see. She is a mother grieving for her child.” This, of course, is a revelation about Jon. It also makes a claim about Gilly. Gilly, we learn, is in distress because she was forcibly separated from her infant child– every mother would be as distressed; Gilly’s distress is that of a mother. That is certainly true, though I remember thinking then, as I do now, of the many other problems Gilly is facing that remain uncommented on–unthought about–by the men that tell her story.
house lannister really is one of the most deeply sick families in the series and I think it really needs to be acknowledged when analyzing any of the siblings but especially tyrion & cersei. tywin’s penchant for sexual humiliation and violence as punishment (what he did to his father’s mistress, what he did to tysha and tyrion), the way kevan takes after him with similar methods (cersei’s walk of shame), kevan marrying a girl who was his hostage and was quite possibly a child, kevan reminiscing about and sexualizing pubescent cersei, cersei sexually abusing tyrion as a baby at least once (and I doubt it was the only time), obviously the twins’ toxic codependent incestuous relationship but also the fact that this was probably the first relationship tyrion was exposed to and grew up around….. the cycles of abuse and unhealthy sexuality really permeate the family like rot
yeah this is exactly what I mean! I see people talking about tyrion saying this and being like “that’s fucked up” without looking at the full picture and being like, wow that’s actually 100% in line with what he’s seen from his own family and what has been done to him and damn. that is even more deeply fucked up
