Must be using a different meaning for "baffling" and "weird" then.

It’s more than just the incels on Reddit. It’s all over Tiktok and Twitter too, most of the Depp worship seems to be from young women.

I don’t think it’s as much Depp love as Heard hate.

I even noticed that a make up brand got involved to discount Heard's claim that she used a particular brand of concealer to cover up the bruises. |

Huh really? That is weird.
I guess Depp has a more established following who just want to see their hero's good name cleared. Just like all those nutters who came out in support of Michael Jackson the paedoohile when he was accused of being a paedophile.

Some of it is under the banner of women can be abusers too, some of it is clear misogyny, some of it is culture war based and some of it is PICK A SIDE.

If my middle-aged sisters are any indication, they've been Camp Depp since the very beginning, including spamming Facebook with supportive posts.
They're both abusive arseholes, Depp's obviously a deeply addled narcissist enabled by a whole bevy of Dr Feelgood sycophants and Heard is pretty obviously toxic and nuts and manipulating the victim card, so, I mean, I don't really care which one was the bigger arsehole, they're both arseholes.

I know a couple of women who are quite active in their feminism and progressive views who have defended Depp, so it's definitely not just incels etc. defending Depp.
I think Depp and Heard are both dicks so don't really care how this plays out.

It’s all over the place. Feminists supporting him on the basis he’s a victim or abuse. Anti-feminists supporting him on the basis that women are awful. Incels supporting him for the reasons Chops detailed. Daddy kink tiktokkers supporting him on the basis that they want him to abuse them. And I’m sure many others. I know it’s a big part of the culture wars but the “pick a side” stance seems to be particularly weird and/or tedious here.

Eurgh, the phrase 'daddy kink tik tokkers' just made me massively depressed.

They obviously both are. A folie a deux.
But because Depp still has a flickering of some smarm and charisma he still gets loved on.

There's a weird tendency for people to paint others as hero or villain, as if it's just impossible for someone to be abusive AND ALSO a victim. People contain multitudes!

If your Twitter and TikTok (fucking TikTok?) feed is full of it, it's probably time to follow different people/bots.

I’m not on TikTok and barely even remember my Twitter login, but usually if you hear about something and want to find out more, you go look up more about it.

What if Depp and Heard are both dreadful? I've not followed it since the libel case but this is definitely the case. Both have serious issues and seem as bad as each other. |

Maybe I've not seen a balanced report of everything, but Herd definitely seems far worse than Depp in everything I've seen. She seems completely unhinged. I'm probably biased though as my girlfriend at uni was a complete lunatic along the same lines.
Either way they're clearly idiots for staying together after the first major incidents.

The makeup thing was weird though, they weren't part of the legal process why take such an active partisan stance? Why get involved at all! |

It feels like a shameless way of getting publicity, an incredibly ill thought one that will ultimately have no comeback as everyone will forget come the next news cycle. |

Heard really hasn't helped by turning up wearing copies of what Depp wore the day before.
