#yeah theres this too tbh
I have absolutely hated everything about this depp case and I think so many people aren’t recognizing the colder reality. All I’ve seen online is:
1.) The jokes about SA and turning it into something “sexy” and should be wanted if it’s by a popular enough man. Amber’s description of SA, whether you believe it or not, should not be turned into a meme on TikTok and used as “thirst traps.” Y’all are going to hell.
2.) White women (because who else) making threads about how you can create bruises with makeup. These are POPULAR posts btw. What’s worse is these women claim to be victims of abuse. I don’t think they understand how much this turns their own case against them if those images/tweets are used by their abuser. Let alone it harms literally everyone they did that.
3.) People now saying you must have 100% evidence against your abuser or practically be on the verge of death/severely beaten for it to even constitute as abuse. We’re back around to the “perfect victim” shit.
The worst thing is women falling for the idea that men are going to put forth effort in creating safe spaces for male victims, instead of using this as ammo for “what if a man gets falsely accused of rape/abuse?? We need to focus on that more!” Which is already starting with people like Marilyn Manson and just average users who are sharing their stories of abuse, getting compared to Amber. This entire thing has shown me that people did not give a shit about male victims. They were more excited for the possibility of a woman abusing a man. Very weird behavior.
