Truly curious when this will boil over into an actual uprising. Not just large nationwide marches with clever protest signs, but an actual “fuck this shit” uprising. The MAGA crowd instantly blew up into violent skirmishes over the small inconvenience of being asked to wear a mask as a public safety precaution during…

Except the context was literally a line in an op-ed stating she was a victim of domestic violence yet people have decided what that really means is which of them was more abusive.

Thank you, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills with how many dudebros saw this trial and thought “Surely this guy who had two judgements against him for beating his wife was the hero all along.”

These rulings strip women of their humanity and burden men with the job of treating women like owned objects - like slaves they are expected to control. The is Christian Sharia Law in the US, and this is what Patriarchy is.

again, not the standard. NOT what was at issue here. This juror apparently believed that she was abused. Ok. So that means her op-ed piece was true in that regard. Just because she may also have been an abuser doesn’t negate the fact that she was abused. So when she identified herself as a past victim of domestic…

oh my god THIS ALL DAY. Came down here to say this very thing. This is exactly the problem with a case like this being tried to a jury. This juror (and, I’m sure, the others) viewed their role as determining whether Heard “proved” that she was abused. But that’s not what was at issue! DEPP had to prove that the WaPo…

Do you think this media frenzy was only covered on Tik Tok?  

I believe Heard’s claims, but her interview style is just bad enough that she sounds unconvincing. Her affect is so dramatic and overstated that it looks like she’s..... acting. And it’s terrible acting. 

nope, and they were aware of some jury prejudice around some really regressive views of domestic abuse. A real clown fest that more than anything showed what a joke the jury system is.

they didn’t sequester the fuckin’ jury in a media frenzy trial like this????

I believed her from the beginning. It’s so unfair the way she’s become the witch to publicly burn. There is evidence at the very least of mutual abuse, as well as massive evidence of Depp’s vile misogyny and drug/alcohol-fueled rages over decades, so the PR campaign to paint her as the aggressor and him as an innocent…

whatever you believe substantively, the trial on a procedural level was a joke and the fact that the jury were going home to watch tiktok videos is actually insane. It was never a fair trial.

Absolutely. I also completely believe her. Given the $15 million payment that they came up with in 10 minutes it seems pretty obvious that they were following this in the internet even though they weren’t supposed to.

I believe her when she says she was assaulted by Johnny. I feel bad for her that not only do people not believe her, they are abusing her even more. Its not right and not fair.
The outcome would have been different if the juror were sequestered. 

Is she referring to the jury that probably broke the rules and read about the trial on the internet and discussed with friends and family when they were specifically told not to? The same jury that took less than 10 minutes to come up with a $15 million penalty for her?  Well, she’s a lot more forgiving than I am.…

Look into coverage of his first defamation case in the UK. The judge found that Heard’s allegations were substantiated. 

That’s all junk science. It’s cop-drama bullshit, and literally performs worse than randomly at detecting deception or motive.

That wasn’t really “support,” though.

And Johnny’s not really getting support now, either. He’s keeping this mess in the press. As someone pointed out after the story about the ACLU, the fact that Amber doesn’t have as much money as Johnny and has had to spend what she has defending herself against his claims is…

The sudden change of editorial from very pro-Heard to very pro-Depp has been faster than a boy racer coming off of a roundabout and straight into a wall and I definitely don’t put it down to the fact basically the entire staff have changed in the last 12 months or so.

When Tumblr is actually out there covering this mess for what it is: an attack on women and feminism.
