Depp V Heard Trial - Tumblr Posts
I think another important point to add to this largely good take is to remember that Amber Heard was abusive too, and did a lot of shitty things herself. The difference is that we’re holding her accountable for what she did but not holding Depp accountable for the things he did, because what she did was ‘worse’, I guess?
Theres just no way anyone siding with Depp on the case read the actual article he was sueing her over, the amount of mental retardation on social media over this is staggering
Let me ask you this, besides Aquaman has Amber Heard done any other notable movie roles? I don’t think I’ve heard of her before this whole shit show.
Meanwhile if were born in the mid 90’s to early 2000’s you probably grew up watching Depp on the big screen. Everyone has seen Pirates of the Caribbean his role as Jack Sparrow is what makes those movies. So if the actor of your childhood hero says he’s been abused by his wife you’re going to listen especially if you’re one of those “Disney Adults.”
Really that’s all there is to it. Like I don’t care if Heard abused him back and I’m not gonna argue with anyone over this shit so if anyone is going to reply I will simply ignore it. What I do care is about the circus this evolved into and how it was effective in displaying how susceptible people are to memes as a weapon. A woman got completely character assassinated because of “she shit the bed lol” while her much more famous ex husband basically won the sympathy of the public despite being utterly detestable.
Food for thought.
Most of Depp’s ardent and vocal cult comprising women is so predictably pathetic and disheartening. Yes a lot of astroturfing but a lot of real women.
And makes sense since the smear campaign was so aggressive and forceful. In general, most people are extremely gullible and stupid and don’t want to do their own research as long as things are spoon fed. Him and his team knew this.
