wow I wish I had had this response to cut and paste to share with some of the absolutely psychotic Depp fans I have run into on FB LOL.  Their responses to me usually begin rationally but spin out of control fast, e.g. “I don’t see how the UK decision ‘proves’ he beat her, they apply a different legal standard for…

Heard is an abused victim, who has showed typical victim responses in that after a few years of abuse she internalized the behaviour, and retaliated back. And now a bunch of misogynists are being misogynists.

“ she was participating in abuse”

Like those slutty women who participate in their rapes, right?

Wonderful post, the Johnny is a saint people are fucking nuts! They loved Captain Jack so much they want to make a song about him like Michael Bolton!

Can... uh...we stop pretending that women hitting men is as bad as men hitting women?

She is on tape admitting to hitting him to stop him drunkenly crushing her toes against a door. Wow. How abusive of her. And oh shit, she hasn’t been able to give that money to charity amid being sued repeatedly by her ex. I forgot that defending yourself in multiple libel and defamation trials is totally free!

“We need to codify abortion rights. We also need to support anti-choice Democrats because even though I should have retired a long time ago, I refuse to give up power to younger generations who want me gone because I can’t support a truly progressive agenda.”

Tangential: Pelosi said she’s supporting Cuellar because he’s the incumbent but she didn’t seem to have a problem supporting Joe Kennedy against Ed Markey in the last election.

Chapelle also zeroed in on a disabled woman with a service dog at one of these shows and targeted her with questions about if she’d ever engaged in sex acts with the dog. Not even jokes, just a series of really explicit, demeaning questions while everyone laughed at her.

And once again, let’s not forget that it isn’t merely being a transphobic asshole that is so mind boggling. (Transphobic assholes are pretty common).

This is pretty old news. But seriously, is anyone surprised that Steve Harvey’s daughter has a dash of misogyny?

Watching now. Thank you.

Mr. Musk is getting his “standard playbook” confused. He is a standardly evil rich sociopath with less charm than Montgomery Burns.

“Both Sides” my ass.

The comment section of the Root’s article about Heard “stealing” Rhianna’s abuse line, FYI she didn’t, actually drags Jez and “Our” comments for defending her. It was sickening the way they either defended Depp or Both Sides-it.

If I could like this 1,000 times I would.  So spot-on.  Having a purity test for sexual abuse victims that they must pass before we believe them is disgusting. 

Thanks for writing this article. Every time you try to engage someone on the internet about how there are many grey areas in this situation they go on an obscene anti Heard rant. It’s so unnerving.

I read get op-ed. It’s the most benign, fluff piece out there. Heard doesn’t even mention him by name, uses generic terms to refer to her past abuse and if you remove the parts about being a movie star pretty much any adult woman on the planet could’ve written it. If Depp had just controlled his massive ego and not…

The thing about liberals and some leftists being thirsty as f**k to prove how clever and above it all they are by claiming that they “both seem to be terrible people” (as many in this sites comment section have done) is that it’s..... based on what? Besides trying their hardest to maintain the illusion of…

I tried really hard not to feel involved or invested in this trial—I don’t know anything about this relationship and I don’t want to assume innocence or guilt when such horrifying accounts of domestic violence exist on both sides.
