And if you’re starting to change your mind about the trial, you have my deepest respect; that takes major insight and emotional maturity. Let’s talk about why your feelings have changed and why you felt so strongly to begin with, so the JDs of the world can’t pull that again.
Relieved to finally see this message coming from bigger platforms but hate to see it delivered in such a polarizing way. Anyone who supported JD who does not consider themself a sexist/misogynist will immediately reject this message because it challenges their identity.
Sexism & misogyny are the reasons so much of the internet believes Johnny Depp - not his victim, Amber Heard - despite ALL the evidence of his abuse.
To #JohnnyDepp supporters, you had valid reasons to feel the way you felt. He’s a charismatic guy, an incredibly talented actor, and he knew what people needed to hear to be convinced of his innocence. You thought you saw a wrong, so you called it out.
When society sees abused women as conniving bitches rather than victims & survivors, that's rape culture & misogyny at work.
If women with the privilege and resources of Amber Heard & Evan Rachel Wood can't be believed, there's not much hope for the rest of us.
Florence Pugh seemed more intentional and better equipped to make thoughtful choices for herself at 21 than I am at somewhat older than that. Relationships are complicated, breakups are hard, and the internet would be a better place with more empathy and less judgment.

When I leave a job, I want the option to fire my employer. Like, if I’m leaving for personal reasons or a better opportunity, I can just quit. But if I’m leaving because of poor leadership or a toxic culture, I want a way to tell the company it’s f*cking fired.
