Would anyone mind if I started a thread about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard here?

Because quite frankly I'm getting sick of all the misogynist crap I'm seeing everywhere else about this.

I've said this before but I'll say it again. There could be a clear video of Johnny beating the shit out of Amber released tomorrow and there would still be people defending him whilst slagging her off - "he was drunk so he probably didn't know what he was doing", "she probably provoked him", "it's a lie!", "it's fake!", etc.

He could probably even beat her to a pulp on a red carpet in front of cameras and people would still be falling at his feet .

Given all the evidence it is actually far more likely that he has been abusive towards her than it is she is making the whole thing up, yet people are still defending him and calling her a liar.

Even people who believe he has been abusive towards her still seem to defend him and blame her. Someone on Facebook said this morning that he probably had hit her but she had it coming and must have done something to deserve it

We do have a problem with Male violence.

Yes. This.

Just today's news has that gunman in NZ (you never hear gunWOMAN do you? - funny that) and those two fuckers racing their cars in Birmingham killed two kids in their mum's car she's in hospital poor thing with that news to hear. Hasn't this bugger got form? I know I stopped watching his films some time ago for shit like this. Same with woody Allen films. Not interested anymore.

Im sorry but no - the Heard arrest and subsequent farce concocted has been discredited by the arresting office (a woman) who had to state what had happened publicly. So we're all ok with Heard trying to ruin this arresting officer's career by stating she was arrested because the woman (an openly gay woman) was homophobic? The arresting officer has stated that she witnessed the assault and duly arrested Heard, and whatever Heard and her ex said afterwards contradicts the officer's statement of what she witnessed.

Makes you wonder if Heard can punch, shove and rip her ex's necklace off in a airport and get arrested, then whats she capable of doing behind closed doors? Shes obviously got some sort of anger issues. And no qualms about trying to get this female officer removed from her job too by slandering her as a homo-phobe. Heard sounds lovely doesnt she?

Now imagine if Depp had punched, shoved and ripped a necklace off his ex in a public place and got arrested, then accused the officer of having a vendetta against him and how it was a 'lovers spat', Im sure you'd all be defending him, right?

And lets now go down the route of all violence male on female, or that women aren't capable of abusing men, because thats just silly. Males made up 31%, or one in every three, of those aged between 16 and 74 who reported having been the victims of domestic abuse since they were 16. That’s according to a large survey of crime in England and Wales. In the year ending March 2018, 29% of women and 13% of men aged 16 to 59 interviewed for the Crime Survey for England and Wales said that they’d experienced some form of domestic abuse since the age of 16. That’s the equivalent of around 2.2 million men and 4.8 million women in the overall population who are estimated to have experienced domestic abuse since the age of 16—so men account for 31% of the estimated total number.
