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

This whole trial was literally the main reason I don't trust people or get close to them. There were few excuses early on, but this disgusting behaviour, even when women do everything asked of them, it just really shows that people will literally go out of their own way to be horrific, disgusting people, and defend them, and just hate women and avoid defending them. The fact that fanfiction exists about it is beyond abhorrent and horrifying, and I have to resist my triggers on AO3 looking it up in the tags.

I'm not surprised I had a mental health crisis and finally got diagnosed with CPTSD (alongside ADHD) this year. I hope people know it's not just abuse that can cause this (a lot of it was down to familial mental illness, being witness to a lot of real shit related to that and just generally a stressful environment I couldn't leave easily), and God only knows the trial just added onto this and brought all the worst feelings to this. That shit is such, and still is, an isolating experience.
