I’m fine with “women and birthing people” or “women and menstruators” or any other term people want, but I’m not ready to give up on woman/women because women are still struggling to achieve equal rights and the word’s existence doesn’t preclude that of people with other gender identities, but they can be listed in…

But that’s not what this juror is saying. He didn’t say they didn’t believe her because she lied. They said they didn’t believe her because her body language didn’t match their preconceived notions of how a victim should behave.

I love how people are convinced that Depp is innocent because of what they saw during the trial or because a jury said so. Juries get it wrong all the time. See OJ Simpson and many thousands of innocent people who’ve had their verdicts overturned after spending years in prison. Even a trial is based on biases and…

The most sexist people I’ve ever meet were women. When are you going to get married? When are you going to have a baby? You’re not a real woman until you have children. Men never say that shit.

Or you could read all the evidence in the UK trial where he was found rightfully guilty. 

I hope more jurors come out and give interviews so Heard can save some lawyer billable hours on appeals. 

You are not missing anything. They are idiots.

Bummed out is getting ice cream after dinner because you got a parking ticket. Starting a petition to cancel a project that has nothing to do with you is deranged.

Get tae fuck, ya walloper

Didn’t he take the lead in season 2? He’s attracted to Max but still a boy, and struggles to articulate what’s happening, along with having most vehemently attacked Mike for pairing off with 11.  Or was that season 3? I thought he had more interesting character development than say Mike, who has learnt that 11 isn't…

I felt the complete opposite. It was his character that was trying to straddle two different worlds - the jock and the nerdy geek kid. He was on the team, but he was also not on the team and instead, rode the bench. But he was so desperate to fit in, he basically walked away from his friends and became something he…

Of the boys his age he gets the most nuanced, involved arc in S4 by a long shot.  That’s not saying much, because those guys mostly have fairly flat arcs in S4, but as you note, he deals with the complexity of varied social circles and also shows a lot of emotional maturity when dealing with Max.

That’s carried all the way into season 4. He was a member of the Hellfire Club and only dropped out of the last DnD game (his sister was recruited to sub for him) because of the basketball tournament. Arguably, his interest in DnD and basketball make him a more rounded character than his other friends. Also, arguably…

I mean, season 1 established that at least one of his hobbies/interests is playing Dungeons & Dragons.  Or does that not count as a hobby?

“Then, while forcing people to give birth is an affront to human rights, the repeated usage of gendered terms in this repeated warcry excludes trans and nonbinary pregnant people who need abortion access and care.”

Main lesson from this shitshow: US Jury finds for Depp, U.K. judge finds for Heard. This was why Depp brought this case, the interpretation of the law by a judge is meaningless when you can rely on people who liked Pirates of the Caribbean.

My full, entire opinion on this entire ordeal is expressed below, in 3 easy points:

My main takeaway is that the judge is a dumbass for making the trial public.

5. Propaganda works.

I think the main takeaway is that people have no idea how complex abuse is, I don’t know how you can look at the timeline of events and your takeaway is that Amber Heard is somehow hurting the cause. She is part of the cause and being a victim of abuse is messy. The doubt the public put in Heard that somehow the real…
