"Guys don't judge Neil!!!! Don't your remember Johnny Depp?!?"
Why yes bitch that is still fresh in my mother fucking mind that two years ago you where all doing tiktok dances to rape story and making sex toys out of the implement he raped her with.
How it was a conspiracy theory because Amber Heard is alt right vixen sent to destroy the supernatural woke Depp, who collects Nazi memorabilia, and writes MRA book forwards in his spare time.
Yes I do remember how y'all acted then so I'm not fucking surprised now. You're all just fucking misogynist. You hate women. You hate them. So fucking deeply I can't comprehend it, the deep well of it that lives in some of all that claim to be feminist.
With out flinching you'll call yourself progressive and a feminist and then laugh at a rape victim. Amazing.

The video montage of all of them mocking her testimony. And doing little dances.
They will sing every word of "I'll be the man" and then to this day. "Amber was the abuser" in the same way they'll all die on the hill that Gaza is filled with UwU lil freedom fighters that just want freedom because Jews are mean 😢. Dravo
It's because the us verse them cancel culture has younger folks terrified. If you see something better go along with it other wise you're a bigot.
Look at me, I was cancelled for saying that a trans woman shouldn't have screamed at a rape victim (Rose McGowan) while she was recounting her rape. I was called a transphobe. Even tho they used me as an attack dog. Friends that I've known for years shut me out. Unfriended.
And my story isn't unique and it's milder. It's not cool to stand up for women right now. You can like pink and Barbie and Taylor swift, be ready to be mocked for it and you will be, but that's the only acceptable form of girlhood/ womanhood. In a time anything else can get you AT BEST, isolated from your friends and family.
Of course people are gonna pick the safest shit to like of course they want to feel empowered. But they're not empowered to make up their own mind, none of them know how to research any topic or how to spot propaganda.
I stay thinking about how Amber Heard is still abused to this day by Depp and a fucking bot army and how EFFECTIVE IT WAS. And how damn near everyone fell for it.
I look back at WWII and think how did they all fall for it? And then I look at the case of Amber Heard and how she was treated. And think "oh propaganda works"
YOU AREN'T IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA!
the thing with the tiktok girlhood barbie movie eras tour feminism is the back of my mind constantly being like. i wonder what all of you were saying about amber heard in 2022

So, doesn't exactly fit my blog but here's a law student's explanation to Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard trial, be aware, I am not a lawyer, I study law in Finland where the justice system works a bit differently but I have a general understanding how stuff works in America
1. This is NOT a criminal case about domestic abuse, this is a civil lawsuit about defamation
What this means is that Depp's team's goal is not to prove that Heard is an abuser, their goal is to prove that she lied about being the victim of abuse, because Heard's team has filed a counter lawsuit, they will be trying to prove that Depp is the abuser & Heard didn't lie about it
2. Heard is not going to jail, no matter the result
As said, this is a civil lawsuit, there is no prosecution, Heard cannot be guilty of anything, she can only be held liable and because of the counter suit, Depp can also be held liable, if that happens, it means they would have to pay the other party (Depp has sued for 50 million, Heard countered with 100 million)
3. This is NOT a slam dunk for Depp, even though Heard admitted the abuse, because the case is about defamation and not Heard's abuse towards Depp, also because jury can literally decide whatever the fuck they feel like despite the evidence (I am not a fan of jury system but that's a thing for another day)
4. Reason why Heard's mental health is important for the trial is because she stated in the article that she had PTSD because of Depp, Depp's team has a right to disprove this claim through an expert, that's why she went through the psychological examination where it was determined that she does not have PTSD but the test showed signs of BPD
5. Even though she literally said that she abused Depp, I don't see this case going to criminal court, because of the complexity of it, because the abuse has taken place in Australia, California and Bahamas and all these incidents would have to be prosecuted under the jurisdictions these incidents happened, Australia in Australia etc and etc, Depp hasn't probably pursued this path because this would be mentally exhausting, also at least in USA the statute of limitations is already done meaning Heard's abuse has happened so long time ago the time frame to sue her has already closed
In addition, if you're intrested in following the trial, I reccomend Legal Bytes, she's covering the whole trial, streams have a panel of lawyers of different fields, along with behavioral analysist, nurse etc (the streams are daily and like 11 hours long I have no idea how many more fields are involved) she is also in addition to these doing recaps on the topic, the panel is personally supporting Depp but is generally trying to educate objectively on the topic.
Also fell free to ask any questions, this is a very interesting case (from both the legal and the sociological standpoint) and I would like to talk more about it

"Fun" fact about the Blake Lively thing. That dude that acted like an ass on set? He hired the same PR team that Johnny Depp used during the Virginia trial.
So if you paid close enough attention, it was the same publications, it was the same YouTube channels the same tiktokers all doing the same thing they did to Amber.
Influencers have to tell you about products they get paid to sell they don't tell you about information they're paid to sell. Remember that.
there are high profile rapists and paedophiles getting less attention because y'all like bullying women for the most minor of things whenever the white boys of the internet tell you to. do one expose on neil gaiman i dare you

hey this is a random feeling or rant? so honestly its okay if you dont like or disagree to anger its totally okay im serious you can unfollow or just dont listen to me
after all the lying of this year ...I mean all of America knows we’ve been lied to left and right up and down...all the lying and scheming but im not going down that rabbit hole......done......but if they could just give of truth and justice for once this year it would i dont know make us all feel a better triumph even if its alone by yourself (a bright feeling in our chest a light at the end of this dark long tunnel so far)...if we could just be proven right that the real serial abuser amber heard was proven the actually abuser this whole time (she lied under oath by the way..yea dont think shell go to jail tho..but bottom line when do they ever,..yea right they never do but still)perjury is fuc*n serious for us “normal” folks sitting on different chairs.....
but for once if a man A MAN (I know right...but i guess were not that advanced yet and people are still too ignorant or uncomfortable with this concept of truth) proven the victim johnny depp was the actual victim (listen to the tapes /audio and look up the evidences yourself and form your own truth on this matter) I dont even care thats hes a “man” ..its cause he innocent and hes being repeatedly attacked and losing jobs while the real abuser and monster gets away with it and laughs and shows off and shoves it in his face our faces ...if we could just save this one man this actual victim I dont know boost all of our moral
...if they could just give us this “us with a brain who steps back and looks at both sides and puts feelings aside you will see the truth”
show we weren't crazy we wont be shoved to the corner or back into the dark...give us this we can all feel little better about this year believe in the world again or bottom line believe in truth and justice, and truth and justice can win I dont know
go listen for yourself : > form your own truth (put your own feelings aside take your gender goggles off )
https://youtu.be/rl2bk4QUXL8
☝☝☝☝☝☝☝
also *throws up* disgusting she not only was abusing him but she slept with these two disgusting guys...that we know of
also it sad I didnt think but felt first I believed her at first cause shes a woman but then I added up for myself all the oddities and things (went searching on my own trusted my gut feeling somethings was off) that just didnt make since and I found audio one day on just lookin up thier shared audios and well just
all of johnny exes laughed and said hes very loving and not violent felt safe with him
not so much on her end couple of her exes (heres one that I still have on my labtop) sadly and disgustingly she has many mannny victims not just johnny (but johnny got it the worst)
https://youtu.be/5RhMN2bY1uo
have come forward and said how abusive she is her own assistant came forward with the truth how she is very quick to anger and verbally and emotionally/mentally abusive she is she also has history and straight out admitted to abusing her sister when she was younger and over the years her own parents wavered on which side they wanted to pick
warning (its graphic and heart wrenching)
“the only good thing out of this/ his nightmare.... that monster is away from this cutie “ my mom quotes
and if your thinking well what about that video she recorded of johnny slamming cupboards ect...he never threw anything at her and thats what victim do they bottle bottle bottle bottle up emotions and men will do that...have a suicide misson of outburst no care for themself .....and by the way most importantly he never hit her or threw anything at her never ....not so much the abuser “her” amber heard case” she was nothing the master of physically emotionally and psychologically abusive
or well what about that single bruise on her cheek at the court...it was gone and moved the same night (makeup were all thinking it I know right)....but hey to each their own form your won truth if you care about this matter and if your still dont see the truth I’ll quote the abuser herself “yea okay tell the world johnny that I a “MAN” am a victim of abuse ....no ones going to believe you anyway johnny ..”
oh and if you still dont see her for the monster she is she in fact stole MILLIONS OF DOLLARS from sick and dying children....
professionals analysis on different occasions
https://youtu.be/hQFFm_X2lps
https://youtu.be/m5iSI9aWDyA
woman see threw other womans bullshit

Funny how everyone that hates JK now has a watermelon in their bio and now is calling for the genocide of Jews and that isn't an alarm bell enough to look around and think
These same folks were definitely typing out Mentoo a year ago, and feed Amber heard to the wolves.

Shadowhunters is Finally Getting Good: A Writer’s Perspective
This is going to get long, so basically this is where I’m going:
1. Shadowhunters is still finding itself, similar to how Buffy the Vampire Slayer kinda sucked until it grabbed onto its “Monsters as Life Metaphors” structure halfway through Season 2.
2. Because The Mortal Instruments series is such a catastrophic narrative failure, Shadowhunters doesn’t have compelling plot points to string their own original story between, the way True Blood was able to do with their own sub-par source material.
3. The strong character writing is just starting to free the show from the restrictions of its source material.
Where We Are Now
-The company that owns the rights to The Mortal Instruments is using Shadowhunters to return on a damaged investment. They bought the rights to a popular book series, and made a movie that bombed so hard that when the numbers came in, they stopped production on the sequel within weeks. They lost a shit ton of money on what should have been a good investment, and were unwilling to throw too much good money after bad, which is why there wasn’t much investment in the first season. The first season’s low budget affects more than the special effects. It plays into who they can hire, how long they have to rehearse, how long they have to shoot, every element of production.
-The source material is shit, and it’s an albatross around the show’s neck. The movie sucked so hard because it was a pretty faithful adaption of the books, which are torturously long, and full of one note characters who only exist to spout faux-clever dialogue, or facilitate CC’s incest fantasies. They are driven by entirely by plot, not character, which makes for flat fiction.
-The first season had to be, to an extent, experimental. They had to figure out the right mix between what they had to keep to engage book fans, and what they had to add to make it possible for it to be a TV show, because the book doesn’t have enough material to be a couple seasons of TV.
-The first season worked to clear the very low bar of of being less racist, tokenist, slut-shaming, girl-hating, bi-phobic, and all around disgusting than the books. They succeeded. Yay.
-Successfully moving past the tragedy of the movie into an expanded episode order and expanded budget mean that season two is essentially a brand new show.
- That season is trying to fight its way free of what it had to be in the first season, and the failure of the movie, and the ball and chain of the books.
The Problems
1. The Show Has Turned Every Pointless, Cardboard Dialogue Spouter from the Books into a Compelling, Nuanced Character, and Now There Are Too Many
The book characters have interesting things on their character sheets, but never become interesting. The show has recomposited characters out of the character elements used in the books, and created complex, compelling, nuanced characters, who have ties and relationships to eachother, who are impacted by the world around them, and who make decisions and affect the world around them and eachother, instead of just waiting around for Clary to discover her special rune magic, or for Magnus to portal them somewhere.
Unfortunately, a bunch of cardboard cutouts creating obstacles to, and eventually enabling brother-sister fucking don’t suck up too much plot time, but 11 suddenly worth-while characters (Clary, Simon, Alec, Isabelle, Jace, Maryse, Jocelyn, Luke, Raphael, Maia, Magnus) plus a few new additions we are invested in to some degree (Lydia, Aldertree, Iris), and a few random additions that don’t seem to do much but create more dialogue and scoot plots along (Valentine, Meliorn, Raj, Max, Dot, Gretel, Suspiciously Important Girl With Glasses) all end up battling for screen time, to the detriment of each other.
For every charming interaction between Maia and Simon, we don’t get to see Luke dealing with Jocelyn’s death. When we get a glimpse into the tenderness of Magnus and Raphael’s relationship, there’s less time to see Magnus and Alec learn where they cross and divide. When we see that Alec and Maryse still love each other, even if the have so much shit left to work through , that takes potential minutes away from someone trying to talk to Jace about being abducted and tortured. There is so much potential, and it’s not possible to turn all of it into plot when there are only 45 minutes a week to work with.
1A. Except Valentine, Who is A Spectacularly Shitty Villain
Valentine is one long HHHHHHHZZZZZZMMMMMMMHHHHHhhzzzzmmmmhhhh on an evil kazoo.
A good villain is the hero of their own story, but they have to be more than that. A good villain has to taunt you with the possibility that they could be the hero of your story. They have to want something in a way that you can understand the wanting, even if what they want isn’t something you would want.
Kylo Ren is a good villain. He wants to be a super powerful Jedi and big deal leader in the Empire and the movie shows you that he wants that because he’s actually a pathetic little snot streak, drowning in his inability to live up to the standards of toxic masculinity around him, while wearing a silly helmet. The desire makes sense.
Spider-Man Villains are good villains. They are typically super smart scientists trying to solve a problem, but their science gives them some sort of mutation that casts them out of the society they were trying to improve.
Magneto is a great villain. A holocaust survivor who believes he sees the writing on the wall and won’t let history repeat itself.
(Quick fact about Oncethrown: I went to go see the Johnny Depp version of Sweeny Todd in theaters in college and didn’t realize he was the villain until the very last scene. (The last last scene. Even after he throws Mrs. Lovett in the oven) Because he was unfairly jailed by a man who wanted him gone so that he could rape Sweeny todd’s wife to be raped into insanity and leave her out on the street to rot, and I was totally onboard with the quest for vengeance up until the moment the blood started pouring out if his neck.)
Valentine is just generically evil. He was born into the most powerful class in his world, was annoyed that his society wouldn’t let him become even more powerful, and now is experimenting on a class he already could kill with little to no repercussions, and working to eradicate them… because he can?
He doesn’t love or care about anyone either. There’s nothing to hold onto about Valentine. He’s just an opposing force. He could be a block of wood with angry eyebrows and the effect on the plot would be about the same.
1B. Except Aldertree, Who We Were Promised Would Be And Interesting Villain is Just A Random Force For Bad.
Aldertree came in to bring the erratic New York Institute back under Clave control. And he started out doing that. He threw the downworlders out of the Institute, he left Jace to rot in jail because he wouldn’t swear total fealty to the Clave, he nearly let Alec die because he threatened very important Shadowhunter traditions by refusing to marry a suitable woman in order to date a man, and a downworlder.
The yin-fen plot line originally was in this same functional but boring vein, until the last episode (spoilers) where he was clearly trying to get Izzy to trade sex for drugs (end spoilers). Generic Rapist Evil not interesting either. All he ended up doing was giving Alec a “Reclaiming the Institute Plotline” which would have been a really, really good piece in that whole “Effects of Institutionalizing Discrimination” theme… if any time had been devoted to it at all this season. Like�� Alec originally ceded his authority to Lydia. The way he came for Aldertree just wasn’t given the building blocks to be satisfying.
2. The Books Didn’t Have Layers, and the Show is Trying to Graft an Interesting Theme Onto the Book’s Pocked and Diseased Foundation
The books are just an excuse for incest. The show is attempting to develop a narrative about institutionalized discrimination and oppression, and how characters are influenced by the way that affects their societies, upbringings, relationships and lives.
There is a really underdeveloped attempt at this in the books which more or less boils down to “Shadowhunters are mean to downworlders, and it’s not totally fair, but they are still the heroes, because they are all described as sexually attractive.”
The show is running into a lot of complications as they try to smoosh this theme onto the source material they have to work with.
-The main plot of “Evil McEvil is a Racist Who Wants To Start A Genocide Because Of Evil and Overt Racism”is sucking up all the air in the room for more compelling and important elements of the show, such as every idea presented in Maia and Simon’s conversation about how Shadowhunters pretend that everyone is on the same team, but don’t understand what the daily existence of downworlders is really like in a world that Shadowhunters essentially rule.
Or Alec’s struggle to be both a Shadowhunter and a gay man falling in love with a downworlder.
Or Isabelle and Lydia’s season one speaking out about Law vs. Justice in the Shadowhunter world.
Or Clary’s 10 minute plot about not being trained well enough to be a real shadowhunter, but knowing too much to ever be a mundane again
The adherence to the main plot of book one and two is one of the things turning Clary into a mess of a white savior who doesn’t learn from her mistakes. She’s the entry point character, she’s bringing us into this world, and she’s the hero of the story. So... she’s white and straight with magic powers, trying to solve racism and homophobia in a story where the whole society she enters into is built around it, and has been for centuries.
3. The Clusterfuck of Potential We Are Working Out Of Now
So 2.08 and 2.09 I think prove that we are watching a show that is just about to get there. Both of these episodes had insular plots solved within the confines of the episode while also having consequences in the season stretching story.
Good characters are interacting with each other in interesting ways. (Except Lydia. Where is Lydia? I love her and I want her back) There are some growing pain failures (everything Izzy has said and done all season), some serious fuck ups (the lack of consent before the lack of malec sex scene) and a lot of unfortunate leaning on shitty and easy tropes (Izzy and Raphael fall into a drug fueled affair, Alec pushes Magnus into sex in a 3 minute side plot, Valentine exists and we have to watch him) But they are setting up more and more really solid pieces with places to go and I’m excited to see it happen.
4. The Things They Need to Fix (this is mostly rambling)
-Give fewer characters better plots per episode instead of trying to give everyone a couple minutes of screen time.
-Give characters goal and personality and development driven season arcs that create plots instead of having them constantly reacting to plot elements that are not character driven (purely from a writing standpoint, this is the biggest flaw with Isabelle’s plot line. The addiction drives her plot, not her personality, and Aldertree doesn’t have a character based reason to give her the drug to being with. “Just because I’m an asshole” isn’t really good enough. That’s why Alec is the best part of season 1. Everything he says and does is driven by a couple easily defined elements of his character.)
-If you are going to sell the diversity aspect of your show, be aware of the full context of the plot lines you are assigning your actors. It’s not great that there are 4 latinx actors, and the two of them with accents are in a drug dealing/addiction/sex for drugs plot line. It’s great that your only canon couple is a gay interracial couple. It’s great that they got a really sweet build up, and they have great communication scenes and they are really building a strong relationship. It’s not great that they do not touch while a lot of totally gratuitous sex is happening around them.
-Figure out who you really need, and jettison the dead weight. -Why is Raj still on this show? All he does is say nasty shit about women. He’s disgusting, he’s boring, and he’s pointless. Literally every single time he’s on screen he could be replaced by someone we care about and it would tighten the episode. -We ditched Robert because as far as the impact on the main characters goes, he’s a redundancy on Maryse’s storyline, and she has all the good elements. -Aldertree is pointless. Maryse could have had Aldertree’s “WE ARE REALLY FUCKING GOING WITH WHAT THE CLAVE SAYS” storyline and it would have been a lot more interesting with the rest of the plot.Lydia could have had that plot too. “You fucked up at the wedding, reign in this nonsense or we are shipping you our to wrangle island”

Mobster ‘Whitey’ Bulger killed in prison at 89 years old: reports | USA News
James “Whitey” Bulger, who lived a double life as certainly one of Boston’s most infamous mobsters and as a secret FBI informant earlier than occurring the run for 16 years, was discovered lifeless at a federal jail in West Virginia, the Federal Bureau of Prisons stated.
The FBI was trying into Bulger’s loss of life, the Bureau of Prisons stated in its assertion on Tuesday.
Bulger’s loss of life at age 89 got here a day after he was transferred to the high-security jail. Federal officers didn’t give a reason behind loss of life however the Bureau of Prisons stated no different inmates or workers had been injured.
CNN and the Boston Globe reported that Bulger was killed with out giving additional particulars.
Henry Brennan, a defence lawyer for Bulger, stated in an electronic mail he couldn’t affirm or deny the experiences.
Bulger was convicted in August 2013 of 11 murders, amongst different prices together with racketeering, and sentenced to 2 consecutive life phrases plus 5 years.
Jail had been one thing Bulger had gone to nice lengths to keep away from – killing potential witnesses, cultivating corrupt lawmen and residing as a fugitive for 16 years. All of it ended when a tip from a former Icelandic magnificence queen led to his seize in June 2011 in Santa Monica, California, the place he was residing with a long-time girlfriend.
Bulger and his Winter Hill gang had operated for greater than twenty years within the insular Irish-dominated South Boston neighbourhood, participating in mortgage sharking, playing, extortion, drug dealing and homicide.
They did so with the tacit approval of an FBI agent who regarded the opposite approach when it got here to Bulger’s crimes in order that he would provide info on different gangsters.
Bulger, portrayed by Johnny Depp within the 2015 movie “Black Mass,” was feared for his quick mood and brutality. Prosecutors stated he strangled two girls along with his fingers and tortured a person for hours earlier than capturing him within the head with a machine gun.
‘We made hundreds of thousands’
“We took what we needed,” Kevin Weeks, a former Bulger lieutenant who would finally testify towards him, wrote in “Brutal”, his memoir. “We made hundreds of thousands by means of extortion and loansharking and safety. And if somebody ratted us out, we killed him. We weren’t good guys.”
Bulger was born September three, 1929, and grew up in South Boston. He was known as “Whitey” due to his gentle blond hair however was stated to detest the nickname and most popular being known as Jimmy. As an adolescent he joined a gang generally known as The Shamrocks, compiled an arrest document for assault and armed theft and ended up in a juvenile reformatory.
Bulger was a financial institution robber early in his prison profession, which landed him in prisons such because the notorious Alcatraz, situated on an island in San Francisco Bay.
Upon his launch in 1965, he finally fell in with the Irish mob in South Boston and labored his approach by means of the ranks as a bookie and loanshark. He survived a gang battle between two Irish mobs and was a number one determine in Boston’s underworld by the early 1970s.
His profession was boosted by his relationship with rogue FBI agent John J Connolly, who Bulger had recognized since they had been boys. Connolly was alleged to be in control of getting info out of him and Bulger did present info that helped the FBI go after his fundamental rival, New England’s Italian Mafia, in addition to native criminals.
In return, Connolly let Bulger learn about working investigations whereas Bulger and shut affiliate Steve “The Rifleman” Flemmi carried on with impunity. After he retired from the FBI, Connolly tipped off Bulger a few coming indictment, sending the mobster on the run in 1995.
Connolly was convicted in 2008 of racketeering, taking bribes and second-degree homicide for his position within the slaying of an accountant who Bulger and Flemmi feared would testify towards them.
‘Unhealthy man’
Bulger’s former associates turned on him whereas he was at massive and their info led to a 2000 indictment that initially charged him with 19 murders.
“The man is a sociopathic killer,” Tom Foley, who labored on Bulger circumstances for the Massachusetts State Police, instructed CNN.
“He beloved that kind of life. He is one of many hardest and cruelest people that operated within the Boston space. He is a foul, unhealthy, unhealthy man.”
