Reminder that if your feminism doesn't include Jewish women, doesn't accout for the sexual assult and rape of Jewish women, and doesn't believe/choses to deny the pains of Jewish women because it doesn't "fit" your political views, it isn't feminism, it's anti-semitism

It's a rough night for survivors and I suspect it's going to be rough for a while. To all my fellow survivors out there reeling from this :
I see you
I believe you
If you need to step away from social media, please do. Keep yourself safe. < 3

When you made claim after claim after claim and witnesses stepped up to PROVE you were lying about them, you didn't expect that, did you?
"Honestly, it's not surprising that so many people would be willing to lie in court for this powerful man!"
Kate Moss lied for no reason than to spite you.
The police that came to your home lied for no reason than to spite you.
The doctor who found none of the black eyes and broken nose you reported to him lied for no reason than to spite you.
The security guard who spoke to you for over ten minutes and didn't see the swelling face of a woman who was just punched by a man with rings on lied for no reason than to spite you.
The owner of the trailer you claimed Johnny trashed lied for no reason than to spite you.
The guy who took photos of the club kitchen you claimed Johnny ruined and smashed a cell phone to pieces but said he saw no such phone lied for no reason than to spite you.
You friends who gave testimony YOU didn't like lied for no reason than to spite you.
The ACLU lied for no reason than to spite you.
TMZ lied for no reason than to spite you.
The WB producer in charge of your Aquaman movies who said the literal decisions about your contract with them were made far before any damning accusations were made lied for no reason than to spite you.
Milani Cosmetics lied for no reason than to spite you.
NONE of these are people are paid by Depp, are expert witnesses for Depp, are Depp's friends. These are complete strangers (lol, besides Kate Moss) who are willing to stand up and tell the truth when they see bullshit being spoken.
Why does "believe women" mean "complete strangers who have nothing to gain shouldn't point out when easily-proven false accusations occur"?
GO SUPPORT A REAL DOMESTIC ABUSE VICTIM AND NOT SOMEONE CAUGHT ON RECORDING MOCKING HER "ABUSER" FOR RUNNING AWAY FROM CONFLICT AND BEING TOO COWARDLY TO FACE HER IN AN ARGUMENT.

#MeToo was doomed to fail as soon as they decided to #believeallwomen instead of support survivors and have some fucking critical thinking and reasonable criticisms when it comes to abuse cases.

Mizu, femininity, and fallen sparrows
In my last post about Mizu and Akemi, I feel like I came across as overly critical of Mizu given that Mizu is a woman who - in her own words - has to live as a man in order to go down the path of revenge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If she is ever discovered to be female by the wrong person, she will not only be unable to complete her quest, but there's a good chance that she'll be arrested or killed.
So it makes complete sense for Mizu to distance herself as much as possible from any behavior that she feels like would make someone question her sex.
Tumblr media
I felt so indignant toward Mizu on my first couple watchthroughs for this moment. Why couldn't Mizu bribe the woman and her child's way into the city too? If Mizu is presenting as a man, couldn't she claim to be the woman's escort?
Tumblr media
However, this moment makes things pretty clear. Mizu knows all too well the plight of women in her society. She knows it so well that she cannot risk ever finding herself back in their position again. She helps in what little way she can - without drawing attention to herself.
Mizu is not a hero and she is not one to make of herself a martyr - she will not set herself on fire to keep others warm. There's room to argue that Mizu shouldn't prioritize her quest over people's lives, but given the collateral damage Mizu can live with in almost every episode of season 1, Mizu is simply not operating under that kind of morality at this point. ("You don't know what I've done to reach you," Mizu tells Fowler.)
And while I still feel like Mizu has an obvious and established blind spot when it comes to Akemi because of their differences in station, such that Mizu's judgment of Akemi and actions in episode 5 are the result of prejudice rather than the result of Mizu's caution, I also want to establish that Mizu is just as caged as Akemi is, despite her technically having more freedom while living as a man.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mizu can hide her mixed race identity some of the time, and she can hide her sex almost all of the time, but being able to operate outside of her society's strict rules for women does not mean she cannot see their plight.
It does not mean she doesn't hurt for them.
Back to Mizu and collateral damage, remember that sparrow?
Tumblr media
While Mizu is breaking into Boss Hamata's manse, she gets startled by a bird and kills it on reflex. She then cradles it in her hands - much more tenderly than we've seen Mizu treat almost anything up to this point in the season:
Tumblr media
She then puts it in its nest, with its unhatched eggs. Almost like she's trying to make the death look natural. Or like an accident.
Tumblr media
You see where I'm going with this.
When Mizu kills Kinuyo, Mizu lingers in the moment, holding the body tenderly:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And btw a lot of stuff about this show hit me hard, but this remains the biggest gut punch of them all for me, Mizu holding that poor girl's body close, GOD
When Mizu arranges the "scene of the crime," Kinuyo's body is delicate, birdlike. And Mizu is so shaken afterward that she gets sloppy. She's horrified at this kill to the point that she can't bring herself to take another innocent life - the boy who rats her out.
Tumblr media
MIZU'S ONE MOMENT OF SOFTNESS AND MERCY, COMING ON THE HEELS OF HER NEEDING TO KILL A GIRL TO SPARE HER THE WORST FATE THAT THIS RIGID SOCIETY HAS TO OFFER WOMEN, AND TO SPARE A BROTHEL FULL OF INNOCENT WOMEN WHO ARE THE CASTOFFS OF SOCIETY, NEARLY RESULTS IN ALL OF THEIR DEATHS
No wonder Mizu is as stoic and cold as she is.
And no wonder Mizu has no patience for Akemi whatsoever right before the terrible reveal and the fight breaks out:
Tumblr media
Speaking of Akemi - guess who else is compared to a bird!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The plumage is more colorful, a bit flashier. But a bird is a bird.
And, uh
Tumblr media
Yeah.
I like to think that Mizu killing the sparrow is not only foreshadowing for what she must do to Kinuyo, but is also a representation of the choice she makes on Akemi's behalf. She decides to cage the bird because she believes the bird is "better off." Better off caged than... dead.
But because Mizu doesn't know Akemi or her situation, she of course doesn't realize that the bird is fated to die if it is caged and sent back home.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mizu is clearly not happy, or pleased, or satisfied by allowing Akemi to be dragged back to her father:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But softness and mercy haven't gotten Mizu anywhere good, recently.
There is so much tragedy layered into Mizu's character, and it includes the things she has to witness and the choices she makes - or believes she has to make - involving women, when she herself can skirt around a lot of what her society throws at women. Although, I do believe that it comes at the cost of a part of Mizu's soul.
After all, I'm gonna be haunted for the rest of this show by Mizu's very first prayer in episode 1:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"LET" her die. Because as Ringo points out, she doesn't "know how" to die.
Kind of like another bird in this show:

Post #1: Amber's Idea of Photo Evidence
I want to thank the literally ONLY Amber Supporter to make a response! All the responses will be broken up so that the conversation of each individual topic can be better understood. Any questions I ask that are similar to others will be in the same post.
The first post features my criticism of Amber Heard for lying to her expert witness psychiatrist with pictures she took meant to make Johnny look like he was on drugs at a time he was struggling with sobriety, but in every photo, upon cross-examination with Johnny's lawyer Camille, Amber had to admit that none of the pictures actually showed the information she told her psychiatrist witness, meaning the doctor was forming his conclusions with incorrect information meant to make him have an unfavorable bias against Johnny.
To me, this is the action of an abuser and not an abuse victim.
Amber supporter @recognize-abuse say its wrong for the quality of Amber's evidence to be scrutinized, regardless of if she is the abuser or the abusee because society should not have expectations on how much or how damning of evidence a person has when they make an accusation. The mind is too traumatic to make such logical decisions in a hostile living situation.
Much of my rebuttal is pointing out that Amber is literally lying about her evidence and so, by damning her own character, it becomes more difficult to believe that if she could take pictures that can't prove her accusations and didn't take pictures that could prove her accusations, it becomes more difficult to believe her narration. Also, the legal system requires scrutiny of evidence to function.
Full Discussion below:
Me: If Johnny has cut Amber more times than he has even punched her, then why doesn't she have an photo evidence of that? Why did she take a photo of Johnny sleeping on the floor as evidence that he passed out after cutting her in a drug-fueled rage and when Camille asked why she didn't take a picture of the actual puncture wound, all Amber could do was stare blankly and say that didn't occur to her...
recognize-abuse 1) This is what we mean when we say the scrutiny AH gets is a reflection of how society expects a perfect victim. It's not easy to figure out the perfect response when you're actively going through trauma. It's not hard to believe that something that seems obvious as a neutral third party is something that didn't occur to a potential victim. Its the same as how SA victims are criticized for freezing (not screaming out or fighting back). Our bodies and brains are not primed to operate normally during a traumatic event. This is important because (and I must sound like a broken record here) scrutinizing this kind of thing hurts all survivors and victims even if Amber Heard is an abuser. Criticizing documentation, how good it is, how bad it is, if there's too little, if there's too much, is a huge problem. Yes of course you need evidence, but when it comes to the documentation the victim has, it will never be perfect.
Me: Actually, no, it’s not unfair to question this, because this isn’t about what “society thinks” it is about what two lawyers asked Amber to testify to and the civil right that both Johnny and Amber have to build narratives supporting the evidence they have. That’s how court works.
Amber, with her lawyer Elaine, painted a narrative that she took pictures of Johnny sleeping as proof that he was knocked out after a drug-induced rage where he cut her. (It is her right to make whatever narrative she wants.)
On cross-examination, Johnny’s lawyer Camille asked why if this incident included him cutting her, why didn’t she also take pictures of her wounds. Amber said it didn’t occur to her. (It is Johnny’s right to question her narrative and present his own.)
Amber presented more pictures of Johnny sleeping as proof that he was on drugs, the logic being that in one picture he had vomit on him. In cross-examination Amber admitted this was more likely to be ice cream, but her point still stood that Johnny falling asleep with ice cream in his hand was PROOF that he was on drugs. (Amber had already told her expert psychiatrist witness that the picture was of vomit, so when HE testified this evidence as part of his conclusion on Johnny, Camille had to tell him that Amber already admitted that it was actually just ice cream. He really was confused and frustrated by this. He was also told other things by Amber that other witnesses testified against, such as that Johnny was so brain-damaged that he needed his lines read to him by ear-piece and a co-worker testified that wasn't the case at all and Johnny liked to listen to music while taking shoots.)
Another picture he was so unconscious from drugs that “he didn’t notice the cigarette burning him” In cross-examination Camille got Amber to admit that there is no cigarette OR cigarette burn on Johnny because she “took it out of his hand before it burned him” and THEN took the picture… Camille pointed out to her claiming it DID burn him was therefore untrue.
Amber presented a picture of freshly placed cocaine and an unsmoked cigarette and presented that as proof Johnny was using drugs again. (In cross-examination Camille got Amber to admit that the drugs were unused. Camille then asked if Amber had any pictures of Johnny actually using or even in the same room AS cocaine and Amber said no…)
That’s how court works. You are supposed to scrutinize things. You are supposed to object to hearsay, speculation, and unfounded claims like a picture of Johnny sleeping MEANS it was because he was drunk. Johnny's legal team has asked time and time again why Amber takes so many pictures that imply drug use and domestic violence and so few pictures that show drug use and domestic violence. (And why she lies about what her photos implying things actually show.)
I am surprised you are using vague generalizations and stereotypes instead of the facts of the case. It’s a month-long case, being broken down and analyzed by lawyers, psychologists, and domestic abuse experts all over YouTube. What outlets are you using to following the due process of evidence, witnesses, and proper legal counsel of this case? Feel free to link anyone analyzing the testimonies, too!
Anyway, here is the testimony I’m getting this from:
Amber’s Testimony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Ku-sN4Q8s

if you would like trans women to stop being suspicious of your intentions as a tme person you should probably take the very important step of not making it about you LOL like it actually really is not about you as an individual at all. part of having friends that are marginalized in ways you aren't - something that needs to be accepted to even get to this point - is listening to them discuss violence/oppression/control enacted on them by people in a group you belong to and accepting that they aren't fucking attacking you personally. how do you think people will come to trust you if you've positioned yourself to assume they look down on you specifically?
