I dedicate this to all the indigenous kids in the world who want to do art and dance and write stories; we are the original storytellers and we can make it here, as well.

"I am grateful that so many of you have given me a second chance and I think that is when we are at our best - when we support each other. Not when we cancel each other out for past mistakes, but when we help each other to grow."
— Joaquin Phoenix

Feminism is holding abusing women accountable in our quest for equity. Amber Heard did what shitty toxic abusive manipulative people do, she took advantage of a movement meant to lift up and empower women, used it to manipulate people and for her benefit and she will face the consequences for her actions, from abusing Johnny through manipulating the masses and an activist/resistance movement. She'll pay for it sooner or later - one way or another.
She not only damaged Johnny but a movement and millions of women who are real victims😞😞 This will be used against real victims, this will be brought up for years to back up the whole "women lie" and "women ruin men lifes" debacle, even though its been constantly proven that only 2% of allegations are false.
Sadly this high profile case falls into that 2%. But it's exactly because of that 2% that we should not believe victims blindly, we as feminist should support and stand with them in the process, but not believe them blindly, we should use our critical thinking to evaluate each scenario case by case. Each case it's different. And we should wait until we have facts and evidence.
Here's the thing about cancel culture: do I believe in stop supporting abusers? Yes. Do I believe in cancel culture? No, but I think some people should be canceled if there are facts and evidence to prove they're shity people, I can think of two examples: Kobe, who confessed to the raping of a teenager and Roman Polansky, who was tried and found guilty of rape, and he flew the country to avoid prison, he's a convict and that's the reason he sends other people to pick up his film awards. Should we stop completely our support towards this people? Definitely. But cancel culture is rushed and irrational, it has canceled people wrongly (Johnny Depp), and before time, it doesnt allow room for learning and growth - which is an intricate important part of our human nature. Education over Cancelation Reaction, guys.
Another thing is, Cancelation doesnt mean lack of empathy. We are still allowed to mourn and be sad for Kobe's passing. I see lots of you use dehumanizing language when addressing this people, and that's an issue for many reasons. But one of the greatest is we dont accept this as human atrocities when we say that only animals ste capable of this stuff, only monsters. Should we accept this behaviour as a natural part of our humanity? No. Theres nothing natural about abusing another human being. But we need to accept that it's a human thing so we can really work on it and exorcise it from our society
She did something really shitty, not only damaging Johnny but a movement and millions of women who are real victims😞😞
shit i said on twitter. if i could apologize to johnny personally, i would.
Feminism is holding abusing women accountable. She manioulated and used a movement for her benefit and she will face the consequences fir her actions, from abysing Johnny thought manipukating the masses and an activist/resistance movement.

Danny Huston, his co-star in The Professor, said when he met Johnny Depp he "fell in love instantly. There is a short film on the making of The Professor. All of the actors praised Johnny.
being a fan of Johnny Depp is one of the things I‘m most proud of about myself. I never, for once, doubt him. always stood by his side since the beginning of all this shit despite ppl sending me death threats. I will always be there for him. he IS innocent. The fact he’s still so strong and remains so sweet and gentle despite everything he’s been through. He is my hero.

Feminists: What Were They Thinking? (2018, dir. Johanna Demetrakas)
Welcome to Australia...
Where an already endangered species is on the brink of functional extinction...
Oh, and 500 million animals unique to this country have already lost their lives, upon homes that have been destoryed and lives lost of people as well...
I mean... we're only living in a literal inferno...
415 fires. Fuck are we dying...
Oh yeah and people are just fleeing to the damn ocean, you know?
Do you want to know what Hell on Earth looks like..?
Because there it is in all it's unfiltered, firey rage...
There it is... my home from space...
This is only the beginning. Our country has not only entered a new decade, it seems a new dawning era as well, because this flaming apocalypse doesn't show any sign of stopping any time soon.
And you know what saddens me? I've never seen Australian tragedies trending here on this website. I mean it's been going on for months and only now does it seem to really be getting recognized, even if it is only at #9.
And I'm going to be honest with you here - the internet, and media in general is so American centric, this website being no exception. You'd think that an entire continent being on fire for several months with devastating consequences would have more recognition, but no, it really doesn't. The most notes I've ever seen on a post about the Australian fires is at least a few thousand, and that's about it.
So just... please. If you can, with this post or any other post in regards to the fires going on down here, reblog. Because the only thing that should be spreading like wildfire, is a post about a burning country...
The Oscars have struggled with a general decline in its TV ratings over the last three decades, they've tried to get back on track by changing the type of hosts, making the ceremony shorter and other stuff. None of it has worked and still refuse to address their three main criticisms: being white, being sexist, and being extremely local.
Dear Oscars,
IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE YOU NEED TO CHANGE.

I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.
Can't believe people are literally hating on Missing Link, a stop motion movie by a small company, for beating THREE films by a billion dollar monopoly at the Golden Globes.
And that being said, literally none of Disney's animated movies from last year deserve any rewards because 2 of them are sequels to a cash cow franchise and one of them is literally an Animal Planet documentary.
People complain about lack of original content yet don't make any effort to support small companies that are providing you with such content. Y'all are just so amazing aren't ya.
I get that Ricky Gervais has presented as a trash person in the past and I get that I don’t entirely understand why because most of his trash moments happened basically right before or on the precipice of me becoming a part of the internet, so no, I don’t know slash understand everything horrible he’s done or said, and no, that won’t stop me from deciding for myself whether or not he’s the kind of guy to ignore even when he’s making a good point, or the kind of guy I feel I should listen to. I know everyone’s ready to send me All the Good Points on why I should Love/Hate this dude, and eventually I’ll figure it out for myself, thanks very much.
Right now, all I’m thinking is he fucking tore into the corruption of hollywood, he very happily pointed out the racism, sexism, and accepted sexual abuse associated with hollywood, and if I end up deciding that he is not a person to be listened to, that’s fine, I will decide that myself, and I am not closing myself off from that possibility. But right now he is also the guy that told all of hollywood, on international TV, what absolute corrupt hypocrites they all are, and that if nothing else was fucking satisfying to watch.
Anyone who sends me any messages about how I’m right or wrong or good or bad for appreciating this one monologue will be ignored. Again, this is not about me digging through all the clues to figure out if Ricky Gervais is a dude I support or not. I don’t care about supporting this one controversial comedian. I really mostly just care that for whatever reason Ricky Gervais lost his fucking mind and burned the entirety of hollywood in 7 minutes.
Me saying that people should look at the sexualisation and pedophilia present in western media with the same lens they do with anime is not me defending it in anime as a medium it’s me saying that a lot of people fall back on orientalist and racist critiques of anime and while turning a blind eye to all pop culture of the West like… Indiana Jones himself is a pedophile who dated a teenager and has a child with her and he’s a pop culture icon… but where are the critiques
one of the finest moments on tv
