Like I'm at the point where parasocial relationships are actively harmful. Celebrity culture is actively harmful. Putting someone on a pedestal, anyone but especially a stranger, is actively harmful. To yourself, to how you interact with others, to how you interact with media. Stan culture is actively harmful. Thinking someone is good at their craft =/= genuinely believing you know someone you absolutely do not and can never know.

We need to insist on calling depp fans what they are: woman haters, lovers of abuse, allies to rapists, transphobes, biphobes, homophobes. Every depp supporter is a woman hater. Every depp supporter is a friend to rapists everywhere. Every depp supporter would throw trans people and bisexual women and lesbians under the bus for someone they’ve never met. Every depp supporter is a worthless, brainless fucking dupe who cares more about Disney movies than women’s rights. Let’s not let them forget that.

i am actually disgusted by the absolute hordes of women who bought into this spectacle. who edited tiktok videos of the trial with wii music playing in the background, who made snide remarks about foundation and fake bruises while posting makeup tutorials, who are currently celebrating on twitter as though this is some sort of reason to rejoice. how can so many people be both brainless AND heartless. you sided against and demonized an abuse victim all these weeks & the precedent this case sets now puts YOU as fellow women in danger too. there are no words

you can have pictures but it’s not enough you can have corroborating witnesses but it isn’t enough you can have texts where he fantasizes about murdering and raping you but it isn’t enough you can have him admitting he was controlling and angry and violent but it isn’t enough. this is going to get people killed
