Too true. Johnny Depp may not be innocent in the abuse that went on between the two, but Amber Heard was definitely the one dishing it out the most often, and the most extreme.

Except that quote is a perfect Rorschach test.

I shamefully use Reddit from time to time and felt like I was drowning in the saliva of teenage boys who were eager to have an imperfect woman be the target of their rage.

Precisely, I think we can also go a step-further with the understanding that the former is really only seen if we take this defamation trial in a vacuum vs a proved repeated history of abuse of which has been suspiciously absent in many conversations. Likely this informs those who choose the former from the latter, at…

My dad used to abuse my mom, I grew up with the physical, mental, and psychological abuse in my household. And hearing Amber in those audio recordings has only made it clear in my mind that she was the aggressor and abuser. For that reason, I understand the hate towards her. But the point that needs to be made clear…

She got caught repeatedly lying and only one person admitted to ever hurting the other. She had no evidence that he laid a hand on her, and she recorded him A LOT.

Lying to the jury, getting caught photoshopping iphone photos, being heard on tape gaslighting depp saying no one will believe him, cops not arresting depp or giving heard domestic violence because in the female cops estimation - heard was faking, lying about donating money, lying about taking a dump in a bed, lying…

if imperfect = proven liar, I’m with you. Trump was an imperfect president. Heard was an imperfect defendant. Don’t sugar coat it. She shouldn’t have lied multiple times in the jury’s face. She should have owned up, when she did something (on tape) that looked awful.

Sorry, but I disagree. The fact you believe men only can be toxic, just for being men, and this woman can’t be toxic, manipulative or violent, just for the fact she is a woman, it’s the worse case of mysoginy.

I understand how it may feel for victims of domestic abuse to watch this defamation trial and see how it ended. However, to equate the results of this particular trial with erasing the progress that has since been made from Gamergate and the Me Too movement is absurd.

She is vilified not because she is ‘not perfect’ or that because she ‘misspoke because it was painful’, but because it was proven that she has repeatedly lied and manipulated many people around her. And, what is even more important, it was clearly shown before the court that she abused him as well. For crying out…

None of us where there is a strange thing to say about a publicly televised trial.

The advice “use a fire extinguisher or fire blanket” when most apartments don’t come equipped with either feels a bit optimistic. Might want to add to that general advice what to do for the large portion of folks that don’t have those options.

There was a piece about him a few years back that was all about how he jumped from business to business and was working all day and night.  I suspect the truth is he hits a conference call every few hours and just sits at his desk playing that shitty mobile game rip off civilization he claims he loves. 

“There’s precious little actual work going on.”

I won’t be surprised if more unions start up on the basis of covid alone. Having a say in whether people return to the office is one thing unions might be able to provide 

And then they say “Hey, but we can get them back by doing this other thing nobody asked for.” I imagine games on Netflix will be about as successful as Quibi.

The best part is they weren’t even losing money. They just weren’t making MORE each quarter.

The best part is they weren’t even losing money. They just weren’t making MORE each quarter. Every goddamn time something like this happens they’re still incredibly profitable, it’s just that they’re not profitable enough because nothing is enough. Ever.
