There was absolutely nothing against Depp like this which confirmed his abuse against her.

Look man, idk what to say. You're willing to give Depp the benefit of the doubt and that's ok.
All I'm saying is that a Judge ruled that 12/14 accusations had enough evidence to be true. What's more likely: the British Justice system deliberately went after Depp despite usually batting for celebrities and has never interacted with people who are "obsessive liars" and just accept them at their word, or that a bunch of people on the internet remember Depp as the funny pirate man who got fucked over on roles and want to defend him no matter what rulings are made.

And again, I'm not saying Heard is innocent. To me it's clear that they're both shitty abusers who have become rallying cries for fake feminists and MRA types, and then a bunch of normal people are getting caught up in between.

whose evidence to the contrary the Judge rejected).

Yes, The reason the judge ignored allegations against Heard is because she was not a party to the case. Whether Heard assaulted Depp is not relevant to the question put to the court - whether Depp assaulted Heard.

SpiritSephiroth posted...

Wait wait wait. At what point was all this to be found true? These are all accusations that Amber herself made. And she's a compulsive liar.

Again, The Sun made these claims and the Judge found 12 out of 14 to be true. Having found that Depp assaulted Heard twelve times, the judge ruled that "wife beater" was a reasonable description of Depp's conduct.
British defamation law is generally very favorable to public figures against the media and the outcome of the case was a positive statement from the court that Depp most likely beat his wife on twelve occasions. This is a determination of fact.

I saw a lot of the texts. And the reason Depp lost from what I saw was because he was suing the sun for defamation.

Not at all. These are what the lawsuit involved and was found to be true in the investigation. Emphasis bolded:

Mr Justice Nicols findings included that:
Mr Depp first hit Ms Heard in early 2013 in Los Angeles, slapping her and knocking her to the floor after AH made a comment about his tattoo.
In March 2013 at their home in Los Angeles Mr Depp was drunk and taking cocaine. He flew into a jealous rage over a painting made by Ms Heards former girlfriend and tried to set fire to it. He then hit Ms Heard so hard he made her lip bleed, grabbed her, shook her, and shoved her into a wall.
In 2013 Mr Depp attacked Ms Heard in a holiday trailer in Hicksville, California. He was in a jealous rage. He smashed up the trailer, threw drinking glasses at her and ripped her dress.
While on a private plane in May 2014 Mr Depp was high on drugs and drink. He screamed obscenities at Ms Heard and physically abused her in the presence of others (whose evidence to the contrary the Judge rejected). Mr Depp kicked Ms Heard in the back or bottom and passed out in the plane toilet.
During a detox trip to the Bahamas in 2014 Mr Depp kicked Ms Heard and pushed her to the ground, slapped her and grabbed her by the hair.
In a Tokyo hotel room in January 2015, having taken drugs, Mr Depp shoved Ms Heard, slapped her and grabbed her by the hair. He then muscled her to the floor, stood over her and yelled at her, making her cry.
In Australia in March 2015, Mr Depp felt jealous of Ms Heards co-star and angry at her for what he believed to be her resistance to signing a post-nuptial agreement and for criticising his use of drugs. He also felt disappointed by his artistic legacy. Over a period of 3 days he got high on drugs and alcohol. He went on a violent rampage, causing extensive damage to the house they were staying in. He repeatedly physically assaulted Ms Heard. She suffered cuts all over her body. The assaults included hitting her in the face, pushing her to the ground, choking her, spitting in her face and throwing glass bottles at her. He made her fear for her life. The judge rejected Mr Depps case that Ms Heard was responsible for cutting off the tip of his finger, but considered the cause of the injury to be uncertain.
In Los Angeles in March 2015, during an incident on a staircase of the couples home at which Ms Heards sister Whitney was also present, Mr Depp grabbed Ms Heards hair and hit her repeatedly in the head. Ms Heard punched Mr Depp in defence of her sister.
On a train in South East Asia in August 2015 Mr Depp hit Ms Heard, pushed her against a wall by grasping her throat and held her there, causing her to fear for her life.
In December 2015 at their home in Los Angeles Mr Depp was probably under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. He threw a decanter at Ms Heard, slapped her, grabbed her by the hair and dragged her through the apartment, pulling large chunks of hair and scalp out of her head. He then followed her upstairs, hit her again in the back of the head and dragged her upstairs by her hair. He shoved her twice at the top of the stairs, making her fear she would fall. He hit her repeatedly, and deliberately head butted her in the face, causing her nose to bleed, and then dragged her by the hair from one room to the next. He grabbed her by the throat, pushed her to the ground and punched her in the back of her head. He screamed I will fucking kill you at her as he slapped her in the face. He then got on top of her on a bed, placed his knee on her back and repeatedly punched her in the head and pushed her face into the mattress. He caused Ms Heard to fear for her life. Her makeup artist covered up her injuries with makeup for her appearance on the James Corden Show the following evening.
During a birthday party for Ms Heard at their home in Los Angeles in April 2016 Mr Depp arrived having consumed alcohol and having taken marijuana and cocaine, having received very grim news about his financial situation. He assaulted Ms Heard that evening. The Judge rejected Mr Depps case that Ms Heard had left faeces on the couples bed after this incident. It was more likely that the faeces had been left by one of the couples dogs.
On 21 May 2016 at their home in Los Angeles Mr Depp flew into a rage and threw a phone at Ms Heard, striking her and causing an injury to her face.
The Judge rejected evidence that Ms Heard had been violent or decided that the evidence was not relevant to the task he had to carry out.

Could you outline what he did?

You can read pretty much any of the texts leaked to the Sun that caused Depp to sue them for libel and then lose that case. Typically British courts side with public figures and are harsh towards the media, this was not the case and lines up with what Heard has said
Put simply, they're both pieces of shit that abused each other over and over. What we have here are two groups of people: one side will always believe women when it comes to abuse, and the other side is trying to support male victims of abuse. Like always, the truth is more complex and they both hurt each other numerous times.

Not specifically against you, but I never got the memes like this

Like sure, the catchphrase everyone knows about mitochondria isn't something you should need to know as an adult, but understanding the basics of a cell is pretty valuable information
Same as the Pythagorean theorem, it's a pretty basic level aspect of math and should be learned

Meanwhile why do you have to be taught how to make a doctors appointment? You literally just call or go to their website (which is another issue similar to us being taught cursive and not needing it today... technology marches on and can't be taught "ahead of time")
And taxes are pretty simple until you start to own property and have investments. People who complain about not being able to follow simple instructions on their taxes and the basic math involved there would not have paid attention in school for the same reason why they complain about the "useless" stuff they were taught

Im just sick of the disrespect Walker has gotten from the fans.

It's more that it's a comic book show. It's not deep. It doesn't have subtle meanings. This is a show literally designed to appeal to the most amount of people as possible. It was created in a boardroom by a bunch of executives like every other MCU installment. And that's not a bad thing! It clearly works and it's enjoyable.
What I'm getting at is, the characters are not complex and nuanced. Walker is in your face about how much of a tool he is. You're not supposed to like him and it's clear he has his issues, pretending to think he's in the right and a good person is just fooling yourself.

Personally I would say it's kinda sketch. I think there's a whole host of life experience that you've experienced that she hasn't, and her being home schooled raises even more red flags for me (because they weren't exposed to their peers as much as typical students)

Also the fact that you're hiding your age is literally why I think it's usually gross. Typically the older person is more likely to manipulate and control the younger and it's just weird as fuck

Are you saying it was bad social commentary? Can you provide a better example, within the context of a show aimed towards the general audience in a franchise that tends to be a lot more light hearted?

Not at all, that's why I said it was
It's not the most complex take on racial commentary but for people who only watch big summer blockbusters (and now this show because of the movies) this is a great way to get to them
I get that not everyone wants to watch a subtle well made movie that dives into the greater issues of racism, they want to watch action movies, and that's ok

I wouldn't call it wrong, but it does raise an eyebrow
With a large age gap, the balance of power within the relationship is heavily skewered to the older individual.
It also makes you wonder why the older one doesn't seem to be dating people their own age, typically showing that older people have figured out why they're not dateable and relying on the younger person's lack of experience for red flags.

There's also the general life experience that is out of wack. Someone who is in their late twenties has possibly been out of college for a few years and most likely into their career for a bit. Someone who is barely out of high school doesn't have much to offer, again skewering the power balance and most likely just a physical thing. And really as far as hook ups are concerned it's not that bad, just kind of eyeroll-worthy
