As far as Depp? I get it. I loved - past-tense - him too. I thought he was a cool guy and a great actor. Sure, probably drank too much and dabbled in drugs too much. But he seemed to be a reasonable guy...
Until we heard the truth about his marriage. I've lost all respect for him, and his scorched Earth, "don't fuck with me!" lawsuit has caused my respect for him to go into the negatives.
I've seen the pro-Depp crowd here, and it's another thing that can only make me shake my head. Everyone loves screaming "WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE WOMEN!?" when the subjects of trans athletes or restrooms come up... Then when they have a chance to stand with a woman who truly is a victim (Amber Heard), they stand with Johnny Depp.
I digress a bit, but.. Part of the above does fit. Because once again, when the stakes really matter, a lot of people here would rather stand with an abusive man than an abused woman. All the while turning Lia Thomas into the devil for just trying to be herself...
