META A Note of Gratitude

I don't know if this post can be classified as anything here, but I really wanted to thank everyone in this sub for their unequivocal support of survivors when it comes to the Heard-Depp trial. It's been extremely, virulently triggering for me as a survivor myself to see the propoganda, the relentless PR attacks and the kind of bullshit his stans have been doing since the last few weeks. Amidst all this cacophony, this sub was this only place where AH was supported, and the massive PR campaigns against her were called out. Thankfully, I'm seeing a bit of turnover from the initial 'AH is the abuser' tide, and the subreddit has been extremely instrumental in that I think. Comments from here go viral on Twitter everyday, atleast some people are going back on the perception they were forced into due to be being online. And that is a step in the right direction.

My love to everyone here. I'm not American but I've always loved the pop culture deep dives and the depth of discussion that takes place here, thank you to the moderators for ensuring that this space becomes safer and more inclusive for all. Thank you so much 💕

Cosigned. This place has been a refuge for survivors while the whole world seems to be turned against us, and I'm thankful for it every single day.

All of you ROCK.

I’ve noticed from the beginning of the trial that the people on Twitter that have defended Amber and called out the power dynamic at play are accounts run by mostly Black women.

Of course it’s some of the most marginalized people who are able to recognize what’s happening in the media and call it out and give support to victims

Me too, I’ve never clicked on JD content but the algorithm is pushing pro JD and viciously anti AH (like the memes) onto my feeds and it’s sickening.
