Agreed.
I've been looking at past threads and there are so many active posters that have commented on this situation "both siding" this and at the same time condemning Depp while the very few that condemned Heard have received bans and/or backlash.
The Fantastic Beasts thread in particular went super hard on Depp. Granted, I think this was before Depp accused Heard of abusing him. Feel free to correct me on that last bit.

Even when Depp accused Heard of shitting on their bed, the OP in which this news was talked about dismissed him as being the one lying and if she did do it, was played off for laughs.

It wasn't until finally, earlier last year, Depp came out that he was abused by his ex-wife and the finger picture was circulating. Even then, people had doubts and the people who didn't have doubts that Heard did this, still viewed Depp unfavorably.
It was just a mess all around, and I hope more people that have commented on this previously comment on it now that waaay more info has been revealed.
