In this op-ed, Teen Vogue politics editor Lexi McMenamin explores how the Johnny Depp Amber Heard verdict doesn't matter after the internet made a spectacle of abuse.

While these fandoms have developed on both sides, Heard has disproportionately been the target of harassment. These extensive campaigns position Heard as the abuser and Depp as the victim, bringing up that Heard hit Depp back, or has a longer history of problematic behavior. Because Heard harmed Depp, her own alleged abuse experiences are being discounted as if shes automatically lying about being abused because she too has done harm. To be clear, Im actually not really interested in calling Heard good; plenty remember, for example, a tweet Heard posted in 2018 that was reasonably called out as racist. Im saying that Heard shouldnt have to be good to be believed.

In the five years count em, five since #MeToo, we have barely developed any nuance. As New York Times opinion columnist Michelle Goldberg writes, the trial marks the death of #MeToo, because, while survivors enjoyed a short period of time when their stories were mostly taken seriously, Heard has now been dragged through the mud, ridiculed, and shamed, all for telling her alleged #MeToo story, seemingly because shes an imperfect victim.

As Voxs Romano pointed out, it kind of doesnt matter what the outcome of the case is especially given that Heards story of abuse (and the ensuing coverage of it in the Sun, the outlet that Depp sued) was vindicated in a British court, which actually has a lower standard for Depps accusations of defamation; that point has done little to minimize the absolute deluge of abuse towards Heard. No matter who wins, we are facing a future where abusers are even more emboldened to use the courts, and where survivors will begin to go silent once more.

In her op-ed, Heard wrote that, after divorcing Depp, she felt the full force of our cultures wrath for women who speak out. As this trial makes clear, she wasnt lying about that. Even after so many women have come forward with accounts of abuse in recent years, the Heard trial is a sobering reminder that a victims credibility is still a fragile thing. It doesnt matter what you say when no one is willing to hear it. I think about survivors following the trial from home: If this is the response a person can expect from airing their claims in court, why speak up at all?

Just a small recent sampling.

Fyi, my op was based on actual people LITERALLY said they would not watch the trial Amber is the victim.

I'll admit that they could be implying that, but they could also be saying that based on the research they may or may not have actually done into the topic.

Why Its Time to Believe Amber Heard
By Raven Smith

May 17, 2022

I spend a lot of time wondering if everyones lost the plotif the erosion of empathy we see online has rendered us so inherently unkind as a species that theres no return. I dont want to despair for humanity. I want to believe that some of us are offline and mildly compassionate or compassionate in a way that doesnt get tweeted aboutthat youre all out there being nice to each other and Im reporting on a tiny cluster of internet users with pitchforks.

Though Ive felt myself veering toward it, I can no longer both sides this. Its time to draw a line. Its time to believe womenall women. Its time to believe Heard. The British courts believed Depp beat his ex-wife. Whats stopping the rest of us?

Fuck these fake ass progressives

Scouring?

Those tweets were literally the first thing that came up.

Super easy to find, took no work at all.

I was trying to find another tweet Mr.Asmongold actually reviewed on stream which was a girl saying she refused to watch the trial and Amber was obviously the one in the right.

As in, no strawman.

You guys got upset for no reason because you wanted to be mad. I mean, you are the ones who made those weird threads going "oh my !! why do people care about this trial! WHY>? SOOOO STRANGE!"

she is a real feminist, sounds like a good gf

Don't know about feminists but I already see how this is being spun. Bad for women. Bad for freedom of speech. It's crazy talk.

This verdict doesn't change that. It just alters the belief that liars can get away with ruining people's lives because they are jaded.

This is very progressive in this day and age.

TC why

TC reminds me of how malfet would spend hours scouring the interwebs for people to get mad at then even more hours on top of that arguing with CE about it.

Yea it is weird.

Women should still be believed. Their accusations of abuse must needs be heard.

This trial doesn't disprove that.

It just shows that if the man can prove that he was actually abused, we should also listen.

Breh it's the fact that you're even putting in effort at all, just so you have some shit to be mad about on CE. There's better ways to spend your day than to look for ways to make yourself upset.

People are shitting on you TC because your reaction to the verdict isn't "Good Amber Heard was clearly abusive" but instead was "THOSE DAMN FEMINISTS!!!"

Incorrect, these are the same people upset anyone had any interest in the trial at all. They made many threads about it.

They likely felt targetted by the fake feminist comment. Why? Idk. Perhaps they refused to watch the trial for weird.... reasons...

@Crimsoness

Ugh the deflection^

Bro if the king of anime avatars agrees with you, you really need to sort your life out.

oh ya

Also the guys posting the most here said Johnny was still an abuser cause Amber said so even if he could prove Amber abused him

those comments didn't age well

might be another reason they posting so much

bothsides and such

Outting yourself as someone who went:

Heard is a liar and probably a full-blown crazy person at this point.

Depp is a scumbag.

The two aren't mutually exclusive statements.

he called it his brand of feminism

so he apparently is one who said:

"I refuse to watch the trial because Amber is a woman thus she already won!"

The last three people you insulted actually agree with you on Heard, just not your stupid fucking topic.

Hence why this is muddying the waters, hence why literally everyone except fucking 462 is dunking on you.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Yeah, thats usually what terminally online weirdos do when you disagree with them. The man is absolutely seething rn.

why do you assume I am a man?

I have no idea who you are and if I say "he" yall have a fit

but you do the same thing just now with your assumption

I edited my post though if you are not he, now I know
