Not surprising, when I heard he was going to actively be involved I knew it had to be based on extremely expensive legal advice and he would use it to pivot and will subsequently try a come back tour.

Him and Mel Gibson and Johnny Depp can star together in the Deporables.

Amber Heard as the female lead?

No I don’t really accept the conclusions of the mad propaganda rush that came as that case was airing.

Lmao. No need to listen to propaganda when the evidence is so clear. Defending an abuser like Heard is pretty gross, dude.

To be frank they both seem like pretty crappy people, but Johnny Depp is an addict and an abuser himself and an absolute train wreck of a person with a crack PR team. Maybe Heard is a train wreck too, but you can always count on some bro like you to pop up if you dare not condemn her, dude.

And I find that suspect. The whole online furor reminded me of GamerGate; felt accelerated and artificial. Made my bullshit detectors go off. And Heard detractors mostly had scores of YouTube reaction videos reading her face, as their evidence.

But I admittedly spared myself the torments of learning the details of the case, and I just lurk the subreddit. So whatever you do you.

Then just keep quiet.

Every time. Like a cult. So dear to so many men, this conclusion…

…contrary to what they decided in the UK, yes?

Step off from framing someone suffering from addiction as an inherently bad person.

Bruh. If you paid attention at all to the case, it would be abundantly clear that BOTH Amber Heard and Johnny Depp both seem like miserable, abusive pieces of shit. You can’t just ago around making claims about how anyone who says something along these lines is in a cult, while also saying you didn’t actually do your research.
It’s like claiming that a movie is shit before having watched it yourself. You yourself went on a bandwagon (much… like a cult one would say?) based on what you want to believe

I said they both seem awful. I admit I don't know the details of this case. "Cult" was a bit insulting, my bad, but it's weird how dudes jump on you instantly when it comes up.

Maybe that activates a basic contrarian quality to my nature, I'll also admit. Question everything, right? Here we are not taking the U.K. conclusions about Kevin Spacey at face value. Would that opinion change if we got to watch a gaudy, theatrical, televised version of the proceedings?

OJ was found not guilty too. Doesn't change my impression much.

My mom watched the entire OJ trial when it was on at the time, and that experience led her to the conclusion he was innocent. And he was acquitted. And she knows the details of that case, in and out.

But it's supposed to be common, accepted knowledge now that "OJ did it." By people who don't know the details, at all.

Similarly, people who watched the whole Depp/Heard trial act like the whole SHOW that was put on didn't affect their opinions in any way other than revealing to them "the truth." So, all I can suggest from this outside, uniformed position over here, watching more objectively the trail as a media circus where both sides where presenting a propaganda show, and the audience's response to that... is that Depp's lawyers did the most effective propaganda. Weirdly so.

So did O.J.'s, at the time. I don't think televising these trials is a good idea.
