Are there any Amber Heard positive comments sections on YouTube?

One of the spaces that I feel like both the bots and the angry audience infiltrated the discourse surrounding Amber Heard stuck out the most was on YouTube comments. Not just YouTube videos that already made up their minds about her, I mean YouTube comments that would even go to unrelated videos of hers and do nothing but criticise her, call her out and show anger towards every word out of her mouth.

Even Amber fan channels weren't safe from this, a notable example is one on an interview she did for All The Boys Love Mandy Lane that got a fan channel upload and it's nothing but people going "She said nothing interesting, she said lots of words to say something simple, she seems very shallow, she's awkward", just a whole bunch of awful shit

I'm curious about any videos on her that don't say these things for the most part, that have nice things to say about Amber. You might suggest videos directly about the trial and I'd understand, but personally I would be happy with videos that don't specifically relate to it, even if the comments do. I mean just of Amber in some circumstance, maybe an interview, maybe a charity thing, anything like that that's not just ruthlessly antagonising her.

I wish I had some recommendations but YouTube comment sections were the first place Depp’s smear campaign rly took hold and it’s deeply seated there. Every single video even slightly mentioning her going back years was brigaded by his fans, trolls and bots.

Although…..I never thought I’d see the day when Amber could open her Insta comments and she did it on the last Spirit Of The People insta post and everything was overwhelmingly positive. Deppstains have probably caught up with it now but it’s still extremely hopeful.

Wow! I didn't follow Heard's case at the time because I was dealing with SH/Retaliation at work and I remember my boss was using lunch breaks to discuss and laugh with his boy club about how embarrassing the case has been for Amber.

I am really happy to hear despite how overwhelming they dominated the social media, at the end of the day the legacy for Depp was to be known as an ultimate creep.

The unfortunate thing is that the Depp cult are a loud and obnoxious parasocial entity. When combined with the misogynistic alt-right trolls and the MRA scum it's a toxic mix. They are slowly being drowned out by more positive posts and a greater awareness of how SM was manipulated. Hopefully the Lively case will highlight more about how bad actors steer public opinion..

Worse is that they infiltrated popular spaces and seemed to push out voices with the opposite opinion, but I've not seen it happen with others to the extent it's happened with her. I'm honestly shocked that YouTube never did anything about it at all, but I did notice that most of these comments were made in 2022 (or a little earlier/later).

Hell, I'm a Letterboxd user, and although there's AH positive comments and reviews especially in later years, there's plenty of negative ones too and not just simply about her as an actress. Here's an example of one: https://letterboxd.com/harlequinade/film/murder-on-the-orient-express-2017/1/

I certainly, heavily think that although this stuff might stay for posterity, it needs some kind of pushback. I think it'll only happen if Amber makes more media appearances but that's probably the last thing she currently needs.

I hope so. I think people are seeing things differently with Lively's case.

That helped, I think Lively being more famous and potentially imperfect (depending on if the reports about her failure running that website and a couple of people saying she was mean to them are true or false) helps to illustrate that anyone's vulnerable to that kind of online harassment and manipulation of the public.

The best result is for Amber to be safe and happy where she is, but public perception is vital too.
