Here’s A Continuously Updating Twitter Thread Describing The Current Situation In Dc

Since today's hot topic is Johnny Depp's victory in the libel suit against his ex-wife; I want to say that this is a big day, especially for male victims and survivors of DV.

No, this is not a loss in the #MeToo movement. If anything, I'd say the #MeToo movement needs to be more inclusive to male victims of abuse.

It's time that we believe all victims and survivors.

If you can’t reblog this, unfollow me now.

You held your head like a hero on a history book page. It was the end of a decade but the start of an age...

"Omg now that Johnny won no one would believe women -"

Imma stop you right there and now. No, you do not have Johnny to blame, you have AMBER for lying and abusing someone, to blame if nobody believes women. As someone who's watched my mother, my aunt, my uncle, my sister and myself, fall into the hands of abusers and watched them get away with it, I'm glad Johnny won, because no one woud say "Oh no he's a kind man he can't be abusive" or "she's just a woman she cannot be abusive" anymore. Johnny stuck out his neck for every Abuse victim and won for us. Amber used society's view to try and hide her lies. As someone who's followed the trial from 2016 (you can imagine how young I was back then) to 2022, you can never, ever tell me, with every evidence out there placed for the world to see that Amber isn't an abuser. We all know the first trial in the UK was unfair because the Sun was hiding the truth, even refusing any of his evidence because the relative of the judge wrote the headlines. The US Virginia court let both have their say and Amber exposed herself.

Maybe now I have hope that when I put out my evidence no one will silence me like what Amber tried to do with Johnny again. This gave me hope because as long as I say the truth I have nothing to fear.

And if you choose to hate on the women that spoke in defence of Johnny Depp, you ARE the one who doesn't like women. You only care about your own narrative of 'feminism' which is supporting and using misogynistic and archaic ways of thinking when it caters to your case, like pretending women cannot be shitty people too. In this case, Amber had the power because media bent to her will and Johnny had nothing left but evidence and the support of his lawyers and fans.

And fuck NBC and their shitty takes on this case btw.

The reads

Y'all wanna preach about the importance of bi/pan visibility but none of you mean it.

In 2018 two girls on a bachelor show fell in love with each other and quit the show. They were later seen at a Pride event and one of the girls was holding a bi pride flag but everybody still calls her a lesbian

Janelle Monáe came out as bi and everybody celebrated. Cool. She later specified as Pansexual and nobody listened. People still refer to her a bi and ignore fans who say that pansexual is more accurate for her. People even "jokingly" call her song "PYNK" a lesbian anthem.

Recently a "lesbian" wedding photoshoot went viral on Twitter and Tumblr. Both brides were bisexual.

Nobody cares about what bi men have to say unless it's to shit on pansexuals. Nobody even notices nonbinary bi/pansexuals unless it's to validate them as wlw/mlm.

The community revived terms like mlm, wlw and sapphic to be inclusive but it's obvious that nobody actually uses them in practice. It's absolutely exhausting to say this constantly and nobody wants to admit they're guilty of doing this shit.

Do better

I’m so sick of running as fast as I can Wondering if I’d get there quicker if I was a man And I’m so sick of them coming at me again ‘Cause if I was a man, then I’d be the man

I’ve been listening to Lover non stop since its release, so it was only a matter of time that I would do some fanart. More to come, maybe?
