Heard-Depp trial is a reality TV check for MeToo

Who’s afraid of the #MeToo movement? Or maybe the question should be, who is the #MeToo movement afraid of?

came to mind: “And the west, encumbered by crippling alliances, and hardened with a morality too rigid to accommodate itself to the swing of events, must.....eventually.....fall.”Credit:It is a very modern phenomenon that “reality TV”, or in this case the real-life drama of a televised trial, has replaced the great artistic expositions on human frailty executed by playwrights such as Albee.

The public reaction has been polarised to the point of absurdity. Amber Heard has been the subject of sustained and vicious abuse on the internet. As a result, victims of domestic violence have expressed concerns that the finding against Heard will cause women to hesitate before coming forward, fearing that they will risk being treated in the same way.

What does the Heard-Depp verdict mean for the #MeToo movement?Many fear the jury’s verdict will discourage victims of abuse from coming forward but experts see the case as atypical Looks like it means they will have to acknowledge that some men as victims of abuse. And that some women are socioopaths. MeToo has always been an Anglo feminist hate movement, if they had any credibility they would have acknowledged that there were bucketloads of false accusations made by women. Instead they came up with shit that all women are to be believed

What does the Heard-Depp verdict mean for the #MeToo movement?Many fear the jury’s verdict will discourage victims of abuse from coming forward but experts see the case as atypical Nothing. JusticeForJohnnyDepp People can no longer pretend that domestic abuse is simple. And court cases are essential for getting anywhere near justice (trial by media is not a substitute). Hopefully it means increased diversity for metoo and inclusion for the half of humanity which has largely been excluded thus far

Depp-Heard trial a 'big victory' for the war against cancel cultureA US commentator said the world watched Amber Heard 'try to cancel' Johnny Depp and fail after a jury found Heard's statements about her marriage were 'false' and she had acted with 'actual malice'. MyGrindelwald Hope everyone can learn and move on. MyGrindelwald It’s amazing how many wife and child beaters you can find on Twitter. They give themselves away by defending and loving on Amber Turd. I didn’t know the sewers had such good reception. AmberTurd To the Johnny haters, I can make a wonderful stepdad and great lover to your moms🤠 with this kind of reframing Sky 'News' should go into house restoration....

Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial is ‘devastating’ for domestic violence survivors, advocates sayAdvocates for domestic violence survivors say the controversial defamation trial of Hollywood actor Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard should not stop survivors from seeking help. It just shows that domestic violence is not just caused by the male This is such a sick take. Domestic violence is gender neutral.If an ideology has to disregard those it says it represents to keep its movement, it needs to perish. She abused him. She pushed the physical fights He tried to avoid them always. She lied about her sexual assault. Correct because the truth will come out. We should listen to all and search for the facts. Liars will be exposed. I am glad of the outcome of this trail. I hope it helps anyone SA DV survivor come forward. I am a survivor myself. AH is a liar. They both need help.

Depp-Heard trial verdict condemned as a ‘toxic catastrophe’ for womenHeard’s lawyer says verdict sends ‘a horrible message’ while sexual violence experts call it symptom of culture that oppresses women Totally agree, also it ignores & rewards power balance dynamics. Also, DV victims may well retaliate, even physically, when abused & use alcohol/drugs to cope, which can escalate things, but self defense against a more powerful abuser does not make the VICTIM an abuser And empowering for all male survivors of domestic violence. Read the fucking room Guardian. You can't generalise from a law case decided on the facts, so there are no implications for women in this decision. Liberal culture wars are as toxic as Conservative ones. Stick to progress on policy!
