Well the author of the article also missed it and it’s pretty relevant - it means even this nonsense doesn’t support him

Among others,

Who instead should these meatheads defend? They defended Trump’s comments about sexually assaulting women and that didn’t go over well. They had a big win with Louis CK because he can pretend to be the victim of unfair canceling and make money off that narrative even after admitting exposing himself to many female…

That does make sense in the context of the desolution of a family unit and a child’s inherent propensity to feel responsible for that. My parents never separated or fought in front of me, but I’m familiar with the importance that is placed on divorcing parents to make sure their kids understand that the divorce isn’t…

You know, we’ve had so many crazy Republican scandals over the last four… decades… it’s honestly nice to get a good old fashioned cross dressing one again.

Nope, the first time he acted up she’d be all “Get Out Of My House! I won’t put up with this Hammer Horror! Other people may think of you as the Man with the Child In His Eyes, but I’m not about to put up with mixing Love & Anger. You had the best relationship ever just Sat In Your Lap, but all this mess isn’t worth…

Incredibly specific question: is the writer of the article suggesting that Depp finding his mother after a suicide attempt is an example of the severe childhood abuse he suffered? The relevant quote is “he endured severe childhood abuse, including finding his mother after she attempted suicide.” As I understand it…

I’ve caught heat from Depp worshippers for saying that they both seem like shite people. Abuse is bad, nobody should be abusive, and they both seem abusive. Even if you want to argue that Heard is also abusive, that doesn't absolve him of being a shithead as well. 

Where did I paint her as an innocent victim? Where did I whitewash her behavior? She sounds terrible, and obviously “not an easy woman to live with” is a deliberate understatement on my part because I compared her to Madonna, who by all accounts has always been about the worst celebrity girlfriend in the entire…

I think you might be on to something here. I’m sure he has an entourage of yes-men and again, the whole image he tries to cultivate in terms of his personal look says he has no idea that he’s not Cool Johnny Depp anymore. Worse, I’m guessing the wives might have been the only ones to be honest with him about where…

Seriously. Even if she did abuse him (I don’t know that it didn’t happen, but as you say no one’s proven it yet like they’ve proven his abuse), I don’t know why genuine advocates for male victims of domestic violence would make this idiot their hill to die on. He’s had substance abuse and rage problems for almost his…

I have a friend who lives in the area and she thought there was a convention going on and people were cosplaying because she saw a bunch of pirates.

You’re asking for both accountability and apology, something you will find is no longer taught in J School. While this is a Female Empowerment site by notion, is seems to be high school level rumors and rushes to publish/judgement.

That’s why I’m here, I’m on team trainwreck. I just hope after this is over, they both crawl down a hole somewhere and I never have to hear of them again.

Again, are you guys going to apologize for the role you played in this whole thing? Because it was a big role. 

I checked out on Johnny Depp around the time he started showing up with rotten teeth pretending he was Keith Richards living in a Hunter S Thompson novel. He just seemed like a disgusting joke at that point. And to think his ex Winona Ryder was run out of Hollywood for a mere shoplifting incident. Ugh.

Apologies, and I appreciate the correction. As you mentioned, people often just look at the face of it and think if he makes the dwarves Jewish, then he’s being an anti-semite. Thanks for reminding me the topic is nuanced, as it’s been a little while since I read the letters. 

While I agree with nearly everything you said there, you cannot just pull Tolkien’s Letters into the discussion then say this:

And a good morning to you!

I particularly love his growling about “killing civilians” (which it is absolutely true that American forces have been guilty of).  It’s like, “My dude.  Did you just decide that WW II never happened?  Your nation’s involvement in Korea?  China?  Vietnam?  Yes, the US has done awful things,…
