Slate - How a washed-up movie star, men’s rights activists, and true-crime fans duped America.

Someone says her story is PLAUSIBLE?!? Good god, the delusion is strong

The author seems very confused. It was Amber who attempted to dupe Americans. That’s why she was sued. The author of this article only gives Heard’s side of the story, assumes it’s true and ignores all the evidence to the contrary.

In contrast to the author, a jury listened to Heard’s story, but also listened to Depp’s as well as a lot of other evidence. The jury concluded Heard defamed Depp.

The author’s premise that Depp duped America is based on the biased belief that Amber is truthful, that Depp was lying and that the mountain of evidence is irrelevant.

"Slate" magazine is an older version of FDS. They are rabid reflexive fems.

What a crock of shit. Somewhere in that fishwrap, the "author" said that miss Heard made a fatal mistake in going with a jury trial. WTF? So this anti male twap thinks that her opinion had more merit than a jury of men and women who were there in the courtroom for every single testimony and gesture, were obviously blinded by misogyny and thwarted justice by deciding for Depp?

Pathetic.

"At the trial, Heard told a plausible, evidence-backed story of abuse" This person must have watched a different trial from the one i watched

johnnosk · 2022-06-13T00:44:51+00:00

Are they implying that Johnny Depp is washed up?

I stopped reading slate years ago. They are two face, double standards man haters. Some articles are ok, but honestly if it doesn’t fit their narrative they just don’t do good reporting.

rahsoft · 2022-06-13T00:55:15+00:00

that is a very badly written article and like so much of the media- delusional.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2022-06-13T05:28:14+00:00

Washed up? Before Heard trying to ride the embers of the scorched earth campaign of MeToo, he was was the most popular and highest earning actors.

Feminists in journalism are all just opportunists that when backed into a corner of intellectual integrity they lash out with projection.

These people no longer believe in Due Process

steak-n-jake · 2022-06-13T03:34:05+00:00

It’s total fiction, and why exactly? It’s such a weird article, like it’s writing specifically for dumb Amber Heard fans

Kwen_Oellogg · 2022-06-13T07:02:01+00:00

Dear Lord, what is this crap? Are there really people who believe this article?

irrelevantmoniker · 2022-06-13T08:35:49+00:00

The author is I think the same Michael Hobbes who is referenced as an authority by Amanda Marcotte in her own libellious excretions on this topic. Which is a pretty damned disreputable association to have honestly.

This author is engaged in defamation, for which Depp could again sue and win, and he should.

men’s rights activists

Thanks for the free advertising. Always a pleasure to hear from the marketing department.

It is critically important for feminists and those supporting/driving the feminist agenda to deride these results, discredit the verdict, and villify Depp and the whole "patriarchial system" that led to Heard's "victimhood".

The problem is that the trial showed that Heard did ALL the things people suspected could go wrong with campaigns like "believe all women" and "pound me too" - first and foremost, she fabricated lie upon lie about Depp.

Perhaps more damning than the lies though was the fact that she is ON RECORD with a truly brazen and audacious rant about her privileged status as a woman raising a complaint. She not only acknowledged, but rubbed it in Depp's (and the whole world's) face how she would be believed regardless of what she said and that not only would Depp not receive sympathy as the victim of her abuse due to his non-privileged status in the milieu of domestic violence, but that he would not even be believed. She told Depp and the rest of the world thst she was well aware that she could do WHATEVER SHE WANTED with impunity.

This is what many people warned would come out of silliness like "believe all women" and the kneejerk destruction of pound metoo targets without any due process or metered consideration of the potential validity of the complaints.

That speech Heard gave which Depp recorded (the one with "Go ahead Johnny, tell the world that you're an abused man, they'll believe you, I'm sure!" blah blah blah) was like something out of a comic book where the villain looks like he has the a victim on the ropes and stands over them with a gun telling them all with glee about his own damning story. The villain is so pleased with themself, so self-congratulatory on how they've duped everyone, elaborating all of their plans and machinations. This story does end like a comic book because the "victim" miraculously gets one over on the villain and exposes the villain's scheme and foils the plan.

Right now, the feminist movement and all the institutions supporting and driving it just received their biggest setback in nearly 30 years. Not since the Clintion/Lewinsky case and resultant fallout, where Hillary Clinton - another feminist hero turned villain (turned hero again lately) - went after Monica Lewinsky, and the Clintons together turned that whole debacle into a circus and shamed an intern, has the feminist movement taken such a public beating and resulting exposure of their own hypocrisy.

There are a ton of people who have bought into and made entire careers out of the feminist narrative, whose livelihoods depends on the divisiveness that the narrative provides, and who only have any sort of public persona at all because of the narrative. These people are desperate to keep the narrative alive. We must recognize that behavior for what it is - an attempt at damage control - to me, it looks like they're painting the railings on the Titanic while it's sinking.

Why was this post removed? This is becoming a repeated trend on this sub and others ARE noticing it.

There has been a lot of Pro-Amber spam

"Perfect victim" bingo.

Redbearded_Monkey · 2022-06-13T11:46:18+00:00

The absolute insanity in this article is bewildering, I watched this damn trial for days a lot of this B's was proven to be false, unreliable, and/or damaging to her not to Johnny Depp. These people are freaking looney.
