Thinking about this court case makes me so sad.

The only good thing to come out of it is peoples true colours came out - blocked quite a few people I classed as friends. Can't be arsed with them.

I've caught people claiming they never supported him even though I know for a fact that they were chuckling at the tiktok memes this time last year. So bizarre. It genuinely felt like everyone lost their minds for a couple of months.

[bethmai]

It honestly felt like a fever dream - all these previously self-confessed feminists/people who were yelling 'believe the abused!!! not the abuser' suddenly did a 180 because everyone else was.

[sarahvma]

It was very very well positioned to get feminists/liberals to support Depp because they needed to "prove" that they didn't just believe women in cases of domestic abuse.

But I still hate everyone who fell for it.

Remember the brands memeing the case? SNL? Celebrities? It was completely crazy. It was like tirs been too long we had a proper witch trial and everybody wanted in on it.

I don't think I'll ever forget fucking Duolingo making fun of Amber

[kimda]

Haven’t used it since! And that bird and I have beef anyway

Their social media manager who then claimed she is still very young and learning... At 24. I sent an angry email to them but I was too incensed to read the reply

I still use the app cus, faults and all, it is the free app that works best for my language learning needs but I'm much less likely to engage w their promo

Looking back it does seem like an odd kind of mass hysteria almost

[trekkiepetrelli]

i felt on edge for a while with people after the verdict, for example if someone wanted a film suggested to watch i was praying no one mentioned a depp film, bc then i would just know and i didn't want to think the people closest to me were on his side.

it was such a horrible time, such a horrible time.

People are still coming out. I saw a youtube short ie tiktok video the other day and it was new yet the dude made an Amber joke.

[sluttyroyals]

It makes me nervous to see any Tiktok/YT video about the case popping up on my feeds. The fact that has team pushed so much bullshit to the point I couldn’t bear being on YT makes me anxious in the possibility they could do it again.

[bethmai]

It's low hanging fruit at this point - it's why everything snowballed like it did during the case. It's equivalent of the dumb fuck kid in class laughing at a shit joke and everyone else laughing along to fit in.

[amalgamade]

Yes! I've been seeing new YT vids with jokes about it in completely unrelated topics. It's letting me know whose content not to bother with tho.

[waxandstrings]

i've found myself recoil when watching a random reaction video to a fav show or movie (that involves neither person) and the person will casually throw in an amber "joke" or comment :/
