Okay look fuck it I'm tweeting this with the names in it: If you actually listen to the hour long tape of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's "counseling session" or read the transcript, it is very difficult to come away with the impression of him being the abuser, or "mutual abuse"

Look I don't want to have been wrong all this time and to eat crow now I want an explanation that makes me not have to say I was helping out an abuser when making Johnny Depp jokes for the past few years What's disturbing me is that Heard's defenders aren't giving me one

Because I really don't want platitudes like "mutual abuse is a thing" or "victims become violent in self defense" I want to hear why the narrative on the tape is false I'm even prepared to believe it's a doctored tape, I spent some time trying to figure out how it could be

But I actually find the attitude "We can't have been wrong, we KNOW what happened here, it's OBVIOUS there's another explanation" deeply chilling I mean this literally, it's triggering some pretty serious shit for me

And, actually, a lot of the circumstantial evidence people are dragging into this - Johnny Depp is previously known to be an addict, Johnny Depp is previously known to be mentally ill, Johnny Depp is previously known to be a gross jerk - is not a good argument

And actively makes me feel like I can't trust you

I'm also very uncomfortable with misogynists and conservatives latching on to this case as proof that all women are liars, but that should not be an excuse for silence. All the evidence (and there are more than those tapes) imo points to him being the victim.

And that we (I also believed her until last year when I read the evidence he had submitted to court) feel uncomfortable with the fact that we were complicit in his further abuse by his abuser should not prevent us for taking accountability for our actions
