The surest sign of capitalism run amuck is that a corporation that makes 1 billion dollars in net profit every year is unsustainable; it needs to make 2 billion the next year, 3 the next, etc.

Nor is it hard to find evidence of Amber Heard being a shitty person and giving the public reason to completely distrust her.

US Courts don’t deal in UK justice.  Jurisdiction is a bitch.

The McDonalds court case is literally a textbook example (I studied it in university) of the importance and correctness of liability lawsuits. You are an EMBARRASSMENT to be bringing it up as if it was an example of foolish or unjustified lawsuits.

? You mean McDonald’s? The plaintant A.) Didn’t get that much

You cherrypick odd details like someone frantically googling to make themselves look “right”. Please actually read the full analysis of the case, including the massive corporate propaganda campaign that followed it.

What do you think the word punitive means? It was intentional gross negligence and the verdict was supposed to dissuade them - the multibillion dollar company - from doing it again.

To clarify, I’m in no way trying to support Amber Heard over Johnny Depp; they are both abusers at *minimum.* But I think the hate towards Amber Heard—and the corresponding support towards Johnny Depp—is disproportionate and reflects some of the worst parts of our society.

No, both cases were essentially just demonstrating it happened at all.

Stop gaslighting your readers. Amber isn’t merely imperfect. She’s an abuser. She chopped off her husbands finger and abused him for years. Then lied about. The hate is 100% justified.

“I have no question that Johnny Depp most certainly engaged in domestic violence, the issue here is that Amber was often the aggressor, too.”

I still genuinely don’t understand the whole “Johnny obviously beat her, too” conclusion. Literally everyone he ever dated came out after the initial accusation to refute that (unlike any other accusation ever), so either he beat them and tortured them so bad they were still so scared of him that they thought they…

Because it has nothing to do with video games?

Here’s the problem:
The one who vilified Amber Heard is Amber Heard.

I don’t know about you, but I watched the trial; her facial expression, tone, diction, choice of words. The evasive behavior really stood out. She came off as a liar, again and again. Not just me, but across the board save for one or two writers at…

A) US Courts don’t deal in justice, or fairness, they deal in persuasion. That’s it. If you win a case, you were successfully persuasive. If you lose, you weren’t. It says *nothing* else about the circumstances, and especially not anything about guilt, liability, responsibility, or intentions. Only in whether or not…

Just to speak generally, when someone lies constantly, and is willing to lie about anything, it is extremely difficult to know if they are lying. When the law finds that someone is lying about one thing, it opens up the possibility that they are lying about other things. When someone appears to be lying a lot, and you…

They clearly did not. She was caught lying and faking evidence but people just don’t want to hear it.

>saying it “proves” she’s lying

No... The evidence proved she was lying. It was clearly not “a single mistake” either, as was highlighted in the trial, which you admit you stayed away from. There were multiple, MULTIPLE examples. Also, she shit the bed. Literally and figuratively. Blargh.

You can be both against Amber…

A lot was learned from Gamergate. Don’t trivialize that by claiming any of this proves otherwise.
