Rant Oy with the anti-Amber Heard shit already

The most annoying thing is when libfems try to checkmate us "TERFs" by saying: "Amber supports trans people and donates to the ACLU. Do you still support her, ya hateful TERFS!!??"

And we're like, "Uh...yeah. We don't have to like her personally to object to her being raped and beaten (and then humiliated in court) by her shitty ex-husband. We don't want to see that happening to ANY woman"

I'm so over that whole thought process of "if a man hits you or rapes you, you must be a Good Victim or it doesn't count." My brother beat me when we were kids. You better bet I got angry at times and hit him back. There were even times that I could see it coming and got in the first lick because he was going to hit me anyway. Is it logical or rational? Probably not. Is it nice? Definitely not. But it also does not mean he wasn't the main instigator. Because if he had never raised a hand to me I certainly would not have hit him. It wouldn't have even occurred to me, because I wasn't that sort of person.

In the beginning I thought Amber had this pattern of being abusive in relationships because of that rumor going around about her ex-girlfriend, but turns out everyone had it wrong and the ex actually defended her later. But even there, Johnny vs Amber is not a fair fight even if she started it. It blows my mind, we understand this concept if it's two men in a boxing ring and would cry foul if a bantamweight/featherweight were pitted against a heavyweight. But when it's women vs men suddenly that sense of fair play completely breaks down? No. I'm not buying into that bullshit. It's blatant misogyny. The dynamics aren't even the same if a man leaves an abusive heterosexual relationship. The worst he usually has to contend with is her harassing him by phone or email or whatever afterward. Men usually survive leaving, though. Not so with women. If a woman leaves an abusive man that's the time in which she is at greatest risk for him killing her. So I feel completely comfortable asking a man who cries Abuse By Woman, "So why didn't you leave?" Because for men, that would actually work. Johnny didn't leave. He stayed and he doubled down. I have zero sympathy even if we could establish Amber was jUsT aS aBuSiVe. Which we can't because Depp lied through his damn teeth.

I had to stop watching Maher because he's making anti-Heard jokes literally every fucking episode now. Men really can't get over it. You're right about it being lazy.

I'm with you. This shit is so tiresome. I have family members who are pro-Depp because all they know is Tik Tok propaganda (also they hate women and are always whining about how hard men have it). There's a tremendous amount of anti woman bullshit on that site. It's really pushing "tradwife" content, for instance.

That site really is just one huge astroturfed propaganda machine as far as I'm concerned.

Even if Amber completely made it up, you're using a story of domestic abuse as a punchline. How would a woman that actually had been through all that feel, seeing you mock her abuse? What did this whole disgusting affair tell other abuse victims about how their abuse will be perceived if they're not a "good" victim?

I hope she counter sues and fucks him over.

I’ve had 3rd grade boys and girls tell me she’s a liar and that Johnny is “innocent.” Completely unprompted and unrelated to our topics. They learned their misogyny from somewhere…

Outside of radfem spaces (and there are even some radfems who mock her, which is disappointing) finding pro-Amber spaces are rare as hell. There are some liberal feminists who support her, but they also spend 50% of their time virtue signaling to TRAs that, despite the fact that liberal feminist allies are busy "Men are victims too!" -ing it all over Twitter, Tik Tok, and Tumblr they DO NOT approve of radical feminists. They'll reblog from us and use our words, but we are total scum in their eyes.

Maybe if liberals are all celebrating a woman "finally getting hers" and the only safe place you can find are among evil TERFs, you should question why that is. But nope. Radfems should choke and die.

Anyway, I feel bad for Amber but if she ever gets justice, it won't be for decades. It's literally going to take a new generation. Kind of like what happened with Britney Spears.

There are some media sites on her side, but most of them (Vox, Vice, Rolling Stone, etc.) are guilty of the "women are just as capable of being abusers and hateful as men!" and the constant promotion of the "evil, rich white Karens deserve everything they get" narrative that Gen Z holds so closely which helped lead to this. Idk what to tell them. Spread misogyny 24/7 and this is how things will turn out. You created a class of women it's acceptable to hate while still pretending to be progressive. Of course misogynists are going to cling to that.

It's everywhere! I had to stop browsing pumpkin stencils on Stoneykins because they had stencils making fun of her. Pumpkin Stencils!

Ugh. That trial caused a lot of people to show their asses. A female artist i like fell hard into the "JUSTICE FOR JOHNNY" movement and started selling artwork with that slogan. The way she talked about him, you'd think Depp was Nelson Mandela or something. It was pathetic

I unsubscribed from a music channel on youtube because they made a Pirates of the Caribbean themed playlist to celebrate Depp "winning" and proceeded to like any pro-Depp/anti-Heard comment under it. A music channel. The most sensible thing would've been to stay out of it entirely because their content has nothing to do with it, but the desire to be misogynist was to strong I guess.

I also seriously doubt all these people being so loudly pro-Depp actually made an effort to read up on the case so they're blindly believing the man even though everyone is always complaining that women are more often believed 🙄

I’m a firm believer in separation of the art and the artist, but this topic is one of the few things that will make me jump ship with a creator or whatever.
