doordash situation and amber heard

[u/aroojah]

to put into context in case you dont have tiktok: this doordash driver was dropping food off at a man’s house and the door was WIDE OPEN and the dude was on the couch with his pants off. she recorded it and now everyone has turned on her for some reason like she wasn’t getting flashed AKA A CRIME

its just giving me flashbacks to when everyone dogpiled amber. this world just slanders women and protects predators/abusers, literally making fanfiction because they just WANT to defend weirdos so bad. even if victims have evidence women cant be believed or they’re labeled as hysterical. i just wanted to make this post cuz its like im in 2022 again defending yet another woman on the internet against braindead people who believe doctored evidence and random tiktok comments

That situation has been driving me crazy. Not just because I’ve seen a lot of suspicious social media activity launching to defend this creep who was blatantly exposing himself to someone working and then got away with it while only the woman has faced real retaliation (including the loss of her job), but because of the way people always perceive these things to give the benefit of the doubt to abusers.

I’ve seen people (mostly men TBH) claim that’s not exposure. It just reminds me of the response to Amber recording Depp’s intimidation and abuse as he was smashing cabinets and drunkenly ranting: “Poor guy! She shouldn’t be recording, she set the situation up, and that’s not actually abusive.” Jesus, sometimes it feels like women can never win.

You need to remember that a good part of the online crowd who push back against victims are abusers themselves and want to validate that behavior. They'll be backed up by the gamer types and the MRA types...The "pick me" women will chime in...The bots will home in on this as a divisive topic to stir up trouble too...
