Amber Heard is facing the "most voluminous" social media smear campaign ever

[CaptSkippy]

I just came across this link on Github and I suppose it should not be shocked by this, but the sheer numbers do shock me. It's the number of posts, comments, tweets and accounts that have been used to spread misinformation about Amber Heard. Here is the link:

Am I being unreasonable to be shocked by this? Why on Earth is this woman targeted with so much hate? Why are MRA's scope-locked on her in particular?

I'm seeing all the memes too but I think the reason is because were shown the most popular ones and anything with amber heard is very popular at the moment. They are very mean though no matter what you think of her and I agree the amount of them is staggering

I’m another person who isn’t really following the case yet all I’m seeing is anti Amber Heard clips across social media. I think it’s targeted at demographics of women who would often be sympathetic to abuse victims (in terms of age etc.) and to me that is really really sinister.

She's been called Amber Turd for good reason. I've followed the trial. I wasn't a fan of either beforehand and I'm not now but she is dreadful.

I think she needs serious help and soon.

YANBU. It amazes me that I can be seeing the same things as someone else and they are coming to the absolute opposite conclusions. She’s clearly awful, but how anyone (particularly younger people who you’d think would have less investment in JD, having missed out on the years before he demonstrated himself to be nothing but a druggy, talentless, derivative creep) can still see him as anything but awful too amazes me.

Yes, right wing media had stepped in and has spontaneously spent $35,000 promoting anti-Amber Heard videos to people on FB (and if we know about that, how much else out there do we not know about?). When people are saying things about what she said and did wrong, her body language, her attitude etc, a lot of that comes from snippets they saw on FB that are purposely edited to discredit and mock Heard while ignoring Johnny Depp's antics in the courtroom. I suspect they were both guilty of some crappy behaviour but I cannot believe the sheer hatred against Heard for daring to speak out against a powerful man's treatment of her. He's doubling down on the abuse, setting out to ruin her for having a voice and an opinion on his behaviour (plenty of examples that he is no angel and treats people like sh*t) and somehow he's coming out of this well.

Is it a smear campaign when her lies are being exposed?

I do genuinely fear for her afterwards though.

Someone could very easily say the same about you, and then how would you feel? If you told someone about the abuse and they said:

"I don't believe her, she doesn't look like a victim, she's lying. He's a good man, he wouldn't do that. He might like a drink but he wouldn't hit a woman. I don't believe a word she says".

What makes you as a victim more worthy of sympathy than her as a victim?

I agree op, it's very sinister

I never watch celebrity news and have no interest in either of them, yet my Youtube recommended is full of videos of the trial.

I have no idea why anyone watches or reads any of it. That or the other one, wagatha Christy or whatever it’s been dubbed.

From what I see the whole thing is a grab for attention. On all sides. They all seem toxic as the next one but wtf they all have to play this out in public is beyond me. As is why anyone actually wants to watch it.

I don’t believe her but I think the relationship was highly toxic and damaging, his ex partners Winona Ryder and Vanessa Paradis said when AH first made her claims that he was never violent to them. From what I know an abuser is always abusive.

she must have ordered her legal team from Wish.com as they are utterly useless. One objected to his own question. One read out tabloid headlines without allowingJD to respond, one used the term ‘mega pint’ Erm a pint is a fixed amount.

what worries me is that if she has lied and is proven to have done so it makes it harder for other victims in future.

It's really harmful to assume that your reaction to abuse would be the same as that of another victim. This is why so many women are not believed.

He is bigger and stronger than she is. How can she physically prevent him from doing anything he has decided to do?

On Twitter alone, it's over 1.7 million made by close to half a million bot accounts.

Boby language analyses are junk-science. In not a single controlled study could they produce reliable results.

@CaptSkippy you're delusional and I suggest you watch the court case where AH can't keep up with her own lies.

JD is not a good man. He is however a great actor with a huge amount of money surrounded by yes men and women. When I look at him sitting in court he comes across as a bloated, washed up alcoholic with more money than sense who does drugs and has a temper. Any man who marries a woman with such a huge age gap screams red flags to me. Hes also lost his looks badly so that must be a dent to his ego.

AH is just an awful person and not a very good liar if the trial is anything to go by. She doesnt seem mentally well and needs to get urgent help. She also looks awful. Its either drugs or alcohol in both their cases that are making them both so bloated. Or possibly botox.

Two disgusting, entitled toxic (literally) morons suffering from problems of their own making.

Forgot to add that Kate Moss being in court today will be interesting - another druggie loser.

I suggest you take your own advice.

Exactly this and I think that it should never have been televised because it has become "entertaining" for a lot of people.

@Badqueen what makes you so sure she's a victim? Just because she's a woman doesn't mean she isn't capable of lying. Some of you seem to have the opinion she has been abused yet clearly haven't watched the trial

I'm not on twitter, Instagram or Facebook. My daughter was the victim of domestic abuse. I think AH is lying and that she was the most abusive out of the two of them.

It's hard for me to say that because I want to believe women and the implications of AH lying are immense for women everywhere.

@CaptSkippy I have. I've been watching the trial. Time and time again she has been shown to lie, saying she was repeatedly punched yet photos show no injuries is just one example. This is exactly what she was relying on. People like you blindly believing her because she's female

I've adored Depp since I was a teen. This is hard to watch because he is not coming across well and the social media cacophony is akin to "burn the witch" and I fear they'll not stop til she's no longer here.

Re Kate Moss. I don't understand the "he never hit me therefore he never hit her" being taken as red.

My aunt was beaten so badly by her first husband in the late 70s that the police wanted to charge him with attempted murder (but he refused to press charges). He went on to marry again and had been happily married for 40 years - his current wife refuses to believe that he was ever violent because he is so gentle and kind, couldn't hurt a fly. Yet he did 40+ years ago.

100% agree.
