Two profile things I’m always confused by. When fat is listed next to disability, race, class, and sexual orientation. The vagueness of disability. Saw somebody list disability and when pressed, said it referred to ADHD. Technically, yeah? Sure. Anyway, ending any stigmatization towards people overweight? absolutely. Just don’t get how it’s comparable.

This is, honestly, why we progressives constantly fail. There are fun-ruiners throughout our populace that will tell us that we're unacceptable, that our methods are unacceptable, that our "help" is unwanted. JFC, it's a goddamned joke, and it's a good one.

Suicide has been cancelled

Quote

Yet Williams does not utter the word “suicide” to her front-facing camera, or type it in her captions, for fear the TikTok algorithm will censor or remove her content. Instead, she uses the word “unalive.”

The hashtag #unalivemeplease has 9.2 million views on TikTok; #unaliving has 6.6 million; #unaliveawareness has an additional 2.2 million. Though #suicideprevention is a frequently used tag on the app, the hashtags #suicide and #suicideawareness do not exist—if you search for them, TikTok pulls up the number for a local crisis helpline. It’s a well-intentioned policy, initiated in September 2021, a year after a graphic video of a suicide spread across the app. But users have also come to fear elusive content moderation filters that seemingly suppress or remove videos discussing death, suicide, or self-harm.

Quote from: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jun/01/amber-heard-johnny-depp-trial-metoo-backlash

The trial has turned into a public orgy of misogyny. While most of the vitriol is nominally directed at Heard, it is hard to shake the feeling that really, it is directed at all women – and in particular, at those of us who spoke out about gendered abuse and sexual violence during the height of the #MeToo movement. We are in a moment of virulent antifeminist backlash, and the modest gains that were made in that era are being retracted with a gleeful display of victim-blaming at a massive scale. One woman has been made into a symbol of a movement that many view with fear and hatred, and she’s being punished for that movement. In this way, Heard is still in an abusive relationship. But now, it’s not just with Depp, but with the whole country.

Quote from: https://www.vox.com/culture/23150632/johnny-depp-amber-heard-trial-verdict-me-too-backlash

Johnny Depp’s legal victory and the death of Roe v. Wade are part of the same toxic cultural movement.

After five years of anticipation, it’s now clear: The long-awaited and much-dreaded backlash to the Me Too movement is here.

On May 2, a draft leaked of a Supreme Court opinion that would strike down Roe v. Wade and, with it, American women’s rights to reproductive freedom. On June 1, Johnny Depp won his defamation suit against Amber Heard, who alleged that he abused her. Depp’s argument, which the jury apparently agreed with, was that Heard had in fact abused him and lied about it. (Heard won one count of defamation of her own, against Depp’s former lawyer Adam Waldman.) It’s only fitting that the cultural moment that began with women speaking out against the powerful men who they say hurt them announced its end by the courts finding in favor of one of those men.

Every wave of feminist activism is greeted by a backlash. The political action of the 1970s met the reactionary work of Phyllis Schlafly and her cohort, who killed the Equal Rights Amendment. The girl-power ethos of ’90s third-wave feminism gave way to the virginity-obsessed purity culture of the Bush era. And now, five years after the Me Too movement entered its most public phase with the 2017 downfall of Harvey Weinstein, fourth-wave feminism has met its own backlash.

Here is where the reaction leaves us: Currently, our legal system seems to be on the brink of recognizing neither women’s right to control their bodies nor women’s right to speak about the violence that has been done to their bodies.

...

And Depp at all times had more power than Heard. When they met, Heard was 22 and Depp was 46, and he was hiring her for a job. He was a household name. He was richer, more famous, more beloved than she ever was. If Heard is not a perfect victim, if at times she instigated violent encounters with Depp, that does not change the fact that Depp had power over Heard that she did not have over him. One of the lessons of Me Too was supposed to be that victims do not have to be perfect in order to deserve justice, and that people who have behaved badly still do not deserve to be abused. That lesson seems to have vanished here.

Depp’s victory is not an expansion of the gains of Me Too. It is a cynical appropriation of the rhetoric of Me Too, applied now to its end.

It’s worth asking a question: What is all this backlash lashing out at? The Me Too movement’s signature achievement is getting Harvey Weinstein convicted for some of his many alleged rapes, several years after he stopped being able to deliver Oscar winners on a reliable basis. Meanwhile, the Me Too movement itself was a response to the election of Donald Trump, which came even after Trump was heard on tape boasting about sexually assaulting multiple women.

It’s as though our judicial system has said, “While the most powerful office in the land was held by an alleged rapist, on the other hand, another less-powerful rapist was sent to jail, so all things considered it’s very important that women stop having control over their own bodies now just to be safe.”

Each wave of feminism is met by a backlash. But it’s heartbreaking that this one would come so definitively or so soon.

Common phrase in all the five star Goodreads reviews include "traumatic" and "heart wrenching." Hilarious! I can't wait for her to give me permission to laugh!

A past UN-endorsed manifesto I could never bring myself to get:

Meanwhile, other critics often conflate stakeholder capitalism for being “woke,” Dimon said. “I am a red-blooded, free market capitalist and I’m not woke,” he said.

The woke movement is even too toxic for vulture capitalists and banksters now

I'm surprised how much of an amateur hour the Washington Post can be. Who signed off that the people were contacted? Who signed off editing the article without adding an editors note?

It's like all the real reporters got replaced by 20 - 30 something tumblr bloggers

Does she not see the irony in calling this misrepresentation and bad reporting (Not actually sure what about that tweet is supposed to be false)

By her own logic she's now starting to kick off a hate campaign against this dude.

And as so often, the whole thing only blew up because there's so much denial instead of an explanation of why this happened and a sorry. The only one who discredits her and the Washington post is.... her

I like how she screenshot the CNN dude's tweet instead of just quote tweeting it so he couldn't directly reply to her accusing him of participating in a far right disinfo and harassment campaign that's "dangerous" because something something Gamergate.

There is a full blown civil war at the wapo

Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the bartender pantomiming a bump of coke and laughing with their colleagues. “She didn’t even TRY to hide it,” they said. My brain immediately knew whom they were talking about: Amber Heard. And I knew this because my TikTok For You page has been overrun for the last month with trial coverage—specifically,

all these takes are

And all of this is extra spicy because it was after all the WaPo who published Amber's OPed, and it was the WaPo who added the headline that made the defamation claims more credible. So I guess not a big surprise that then a WaPo reporter is trying to discredit youtubers who sided with Depp.

benjipwns · « **Reply #657 on:** June 05, 2022, 12:16:59 PM »

I like how quickly all these journalists (many of whom will let you know they refused to watch the trial) have latched onto a theory that TikTok and YouTube manipulated the jury into ruling in favor of Gamergate.

You know someone's a terrible reporter when even the dregs of CNN think they're an unethical hack

Those real reporters probably said some mean things to the intern once and just had to be let go.
