To be concerned that the Depp/Heard trial has put off genuine DV victims from coming forward?

The Depp/Heard trial was troubling to me.

On the one hand, people do sometimes make false allegations, especially after relationship breakups.

On the other hand, dragging someone to court for alleging domestic violence might deter some women from reporting it.

Assuming the court got it right and Depp was not a perpetrator, how could he have handled the situation so that it would not put domestic violence victims off coming forward for fear of being sued?

Worrying all round.

That poster said all of those things. No twisting here. All here to read, along with a healthy dollop of misogyny.

yes the posts and responses are there for others to read and disagree with you.

Just like you are doing to pumper you mean?

She abusive, but so is Johnny Depp. This case is nothing more than a toxic relationship made public. Pumpers own words you are conveniently ignoring.

TiddyTidTwo · 10/06/2022 23:22

"Misandry? How so?"

You're still doing it. You care not a jot what people are posting. You're just goading.

You called me a misandrist. I’m entitled to ask why I deserve that.

Yep

i agree

"She abusive, but so is Johnny Depp. This case is nothing more than a toxic relationship made public."

And I agreed with pumper but she couldn't leave it there as she doesn't really believe that. As she's proved since making excuses for AH employing a sex pest.

I'm entitled to think it based on your posts

You’re assuming I’m a woman then?

How am I a misandrist?

Pumper
Are you a man then?
Am I a man?

Who cares?

She can leave it like that. It is what she thinks.

Same reason you think I'm a misogynist. .

Every single thread on MN has gone the same way. Every single one.

I think you’re a misogynist because you have repeated posted that Amber Heard is responsible for her sex-pest PR man. And despite it being pointed out to you loads of times, you keep repeating the lie that people think women never abuse, or that men are never victims.

Now you provide one single point that means I deserve to be called a misandrist. You can’t.

@bigfootisreal

You need to look at the depositions and many many witness statements available on line for that one. A complete chancer who hopped on the back of Heard thinking Depp would lose, to gain a quick buck.

Bet he doesn't even turn up for that one now this verdict is in.

So you claim don't judge him (JD) guilty until proven so. Yet you judge that someone is lying and jumping on some sort of bandwagon before the case has even got to court

it’s this blinded belief in JD that has been driven by his legal team and pr team

It’s pitiful and far worse this is dangerous for society and for anyone going up again a rich powerful man

On that basis I am then

That's a lie if you actually read my posts

TiddyTidTwo · 10/06/2022 23:33

How can available witness statements online from the court be driven by that?

Posters on here accusing Depp of guilt are free from your criticism then?

Ok, I’m not asking again. You clearly have no reason to call me a misandrist, you’re just annoyed at being called out for your views on Depp’s victims.

Good, don't ask again as you know exactly why I said it.

Pumperthepumper · 10/06/2022 23:37

I really don’t. Fine, I’ll ask again - why are you calling me a misandrist?

taotaos · 10/06/2022 23:39

It is not possible for a woman to be abusive, violent, bullying or have any Cluster B personality traits.

If she does, it's a man's fault.
Women cannot be psychopathic. If they behave like that it's just an abuse response to a nasty man.

Men are never victims of DV at the hands of women. If they are it's just delayed PTSD on the part of the poor woman

Repeat

You don’t think JD’s pr team has anything to do with the what’s on SM

Were you not open minded in regard to the AH and JD court case ?
