The Depp-Heard trial perpetuates the myth of the perfect victim 📝: Eliana Dockterman (edockterman)

sticking by Heard saying the incident was “misinterpreted” and that Heard was “wrongfully” accused, going on to say that the police were “misogynistic” and “homophobic” in their dealings with Heard. “It’s disheartening that Amber’s integrity and story are being questioned yet again. Amber is a brilliant, honest and beautiful woman, and I have the utmost respect for her,” she said.

Social media accounts were particularly vicious when attacking how Heard behaved on the stand. “Victims are expected to represent the right amount of emotionality,” says Tuerkheimer. “Women have to thread the needle very carefully.” In her book, she calls it the “Perverse Goldilocks” scenario. “If they’re too emotional, they’re perceived as hysterical and untrustworthy and suspect. If she’s too calm and her affect is flat, that too is held against her.

These strategies for undermining accusers aren’t particularly new. “The defense strategy in cases involving intimate partner violence or sexual assault is to always depict the other side as liars, opportunists, money hungry, jilted, delusional witch hunters, and to claim the other person is perverting #MeToo or is the real abuser,” says Goldberg. “That is always what happens.

It's bizzare how important misandrist ideology has become to mainstream media. They clearly know Depp has won in a real life trial as well as the court of public opinion.But still don't mind riling liberal Depp supporters or losing credibility cause it doesn't fit their narrative

She's had her 5 minutes of fame could you please stop showing this person and let's move on

She's had her 5 minutes of fame could you let her just fade away now tired of seeing her

More like him been the perfect victim for her opportunism

Is this tweet on loop? Lazy BS reporting per usual

MSM continues to do almost no fact checking, and spread dangerous misinformation. Real victims will be believed. Amber wasn't believed because she obviously wasn't a victim.

This is not news. This is BORING.

You’re right, Johnny is a victim of abuse and yes he’s not perfect

It had nothing to do with emotionality. She was not credible! She lied so much, it was hard to say when she was telling the truth!

It’s people like AH that make the real people either female or male , that have made the situation with DV harder for the ones that really are in a DV situation!! Get the whole story,not just the narrative u want out there!

...in other words, ignore any and all evidence that doesn't fit the narrative.

The mainstream media is frustrated because the world has awakened to the fact that BelieveAllWomen is a dangerous and false narrative. It always was of course, but people often need dramatic examples to wake up to reality.

Found the right pictures for you, you're welcome 😊

MeToo cannot be a lynch mob. If you have been abused ring the police and charge the perpetrator. Trial by media is just the mob.

Her friend was going to hit Depp in the head with an ashtray. Victim? More like he was lucky to escape with his life.

This is the 4th time youve tweeted this same article. Did you not realise it was a bad take the first 3 times? Stop supporting a proven liar and abuser.

Just say you hate men and we can have an honest discussion

She took a doo doo on the bed and blamed the poor dog. Then she got the audacity to say my dog stepped on a bee smh. Also got caught up with her donation case funds. Not saying Depps a saint but come on now this ain’t it.

Would you please stop spreading bulsht? You are loosing credibility by minute!

Had I been a juror, the nail in her coffin would’ve been this tape of her tracking him down to his Frisco hotel AFTER she “survived her daily hell” and obtained her restraining order:

If there's a imperfect victim here, that's Johnny Depp.

What myth. She learned it from the Kavanaugh trial. But whatever.

Furthermore she hired a private detective to find evidence of Depp’s serial abuse, but fired him when, after 100 interviews in Europe and the US, was unable to. Here’s what he DID find. Call him or the Daily Mail a liar TIME:

Stop calling her the victim. She wasn’t

Bullshit! It’s no secret what women victims of DV go through. But the true myth is they can’t possibly be the abusers. This is that case. Heard was the abuser, and further abused every true female victim of abuse. Her own taped evidence WAS evidence of it…

mentions the 'perfect victim' and then uses the pronoun 'she'. Like an abuse victim is always female.

Why are all these insecure feminazi writing all these hit pieces in a vain attempt to keep their misandrist MeToo movement relevant?

Your magazine has lost a large quantity of its credibility and its association with the TRUTH.

Unreal. The total and complete dumbfuckery. The gall. He, of course HE didn’t make the perfect victim. Would he have been more perfect in view of Time’s unfucking believable dumbfuckery if he had never had his finger reattached?!? The magazine has lost touch with the TRUTH.

- You are the victim here. You were driven in the arms of another man! - Seven. - Whatever!

Do better.

Nope , this is a simply someone lying and manipulating people and incidents and getting found out , it’s that simple there nothing else , yes it’s poetic justice but beyond that - nothing

Amber is the victim and he, her abuser Legal system sucks

No. It exposes abusive, manipulative females who play innocent victim while actually committing the majority of the abuse and exploiting a legal system, a domestic violence racket industry, and a corporate news media that are ALL biased against males.

Leftwing media really wanted Amber to win lol

I've seen this tweet 50 times. I look forward to the next 50.

here are my naked photos

Eliana Dockterman people know how to discern evidence. I wonder if you watched the entire trial . It seemed like you did not.

“$7M was donated to charity I split it between ACLU and Childens hospital . I used pledge and donation its synonymous .

What the media is doing is that they are publishing Amber’s lies until they convince people of her wrong narrative Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus

Believe em even if you catch them in lies, and they're the aggressor whooping your ass. You fight back, damnit you're an abuser! Let her knock you TF out! Take some tylenol when you wake up. FK YALL. You better look at ID Channel.

Johnny Depp is not the perfect victim

If you analyze this poor woman's face, the way she is 'forced' to look into the camera, you know the evil Pharisees got her trapped & using her for a public drama trial as distraction/turning attentions away from their NWO agenda.Notice all public figures issues.

Amber was never a victim

Unfollwed. Ffs, there is no other way to get through to you people. Watch the f'ing trial.

Yes, and it is a shame you continue to think Depp should have been them perfect victim. Mostly taking issue with his sex as making him the less than perfect victim.

Can't pay the 10 million to Depp although Heard acts as she has all the money in the world.

Amber terd

From the myth of a decent publication

As usual the legacy media has the worst takes on this trial. Did you even watch it? It doesn’t seem so.

I haven't really read the article (i'm done with MSM) but based on the title=true. The myth of the perfect victim: 1. HE wasn't a she! And she=one women hurt the real victims and MSM is helping with ridiculous articles. You can't just admit you lost your narrative. JohnnyDepp

Thank amber for that 🤷🏽‍♂️

How much did you get paid for this article? Anyone and I mean anyone watching that trial knew she was lying the whole time, she couldn’t even remember the lies she’d previously told. Her own lawyers didn’t believe a thing she was saying and it all showed. Give her money back.

Amber Heard verbally and physically abused Johnny Depp. She lied repeatedly in the stand.

No it doesn't

Amber Heard herself perpetuated the myth of the perfect victim… which is why she lost.

edockterman What is the myth of a perfect victim? Any armchair therapist knows that victims fight back to restore their dignity and often out of revenge...that's human nature..doesn't mean they're not victims!

edockterman If you change the picture to Depp you can keep the title, because apparently for some he can’t be a victim because he’s not the perfect one either

edockterman It’s not about whether or not she’s the “perfect” victim. This trial was to shed light as to whether she wrote the op ed with intention of malice and if it refers to JD. She even admitted it involuntary in her trial. I don’t know why you have to keep going on and on about it.

edockterman Johnny Depp is not the perfect victim

Wtf

edockterman Ok, I read the story I disagree. This wholevfucking shit about men having pwr no.matter what passes me off. Where was JD's pwr when that troll made her allegation. NO PROOF, NO EVIDENCE just her word. He LOST everything, became a pariah, named and shamed. The pwr was hers!!

edockterman Good on you for this 💗

edockterman Is domestic violence only directed at women? And what do you say about children? How many women are abusive to their children? If they abuse their children, can't they abuse their husbands? Tell me, I'm ready to listen!!

edockterman 👎👎

edockterman Domestic abuse is far reaching & impacts both men & women -if its root causes are not addressed it creates many societal probs-in truth the current male leadership uses tactics of violence to address societal problems - this is rooted in their experiences with domestic violence

edockterman The victim-victimizer role often get interchanged - the psychology that guilt demands punishment.

edockterman The imperfect victim here is Johnny Depp!

edockterman Imagine a big time magazine watching the trial for 6 weeks along with millions of others...and looking at the mountain of evidence against Amber Heard & then still having the gall to publish an article like this 🤡 Time to BoycottMainstreamMedia trying to gaslight us.

edockterman Him or her (only she admitted to being an abuser)

edockterman We all know that Johnnydepp isn't the 'perfect victim' but at least he was able to get justice and against all odds like 'Me too' and 'believe all women' as well as the constant media 'opinion pieces' that all claimed that he wasn't a victim and that AmberHeard was the victim

edockterman I just unfollowed ... This is some real bulls-jive...

edockterman Here is a sad truth women lie. Not always, not alot but they do lie. I fired an employee for theft. She wrote a letter saying I sexually harassed women. Corporate came in to interview everyone who worked for me. She lied. I was the victim. A man.

edockterman Im disappointed in you time did you even watch the trial

edockterman

edockterman Then it is the 's position that based on the greater weight of the evidence, Jonny Depp is in fact a brutal criminal and this verdict was a miscarriage of justice?

edockterman Elon musk

edockterman Nope. It’s supporting victims regardless of gender

edockterman Yes, Depp.

edockterman Why all big Media establishment hell bent on proving Amber as a victim? She didn't brought any criminal charges but kept on defaming him for years for her career..what options had left for Jhonny Depp to prove his innocence!!!?

edockterman This is an attempt to anger users and bait them to engage with their post. Facebook perfected it.

edockterman Wow what a disgusting article. Truly horrified at the lengths some will go to protect abusers Is it because she’s white blonde blue eyed pretty is that what makes it so inconceivable? She’s NOT a victim This article makes sense if the imperfect victim is Depp

edockterman Tell me you didn’t really watch the trial without saying it. Time, I know you guys are dying media but surely you can afford people who do their jobs and don’t just phone it in. A PR defense is not a PR defense when you can actually demonstrate in court what was really going on.

edockterman I don’t understand this constant gaslighting by the MSM. Millions watched the trial, she is no victim, she is a person with serious issues.

edockterman No I am sure of what honest is and she wasn’t… do you enjoy gaslighting? Or u are the same kind

edockterman Yeah, imagine Depp not being the perfect victim. Imagine that...

edockterman Hell, maybe Bill Cosby was a ”victim“. Maybe that jury was influenced by social media also. If we’re going to engage in the absurd, let’s go all the way baby!

edockterman I didn’t realize that Time magazine was in the business of supporting abusers.

edockterman She’s no victim

edockterman She kicked a door into his head then punched him... That makes her a violent offender

edockterman Wow Mr./Ms./Them Dockterman your writing is so imaginative it should be a new Johny Depp movie.

edockterman She isn't the victim.

edockterman Donate/pledge synonymous 🤷🏽‍♂️.

edockterman Her PR team… still trying to make up for her lies.

edockterman I guess. I mean you all keep saying the pretty blonde lady is the victim…even though the evidence has shown otherwise. The media’s inability to admit that a man was abused DOES perpetuate the myth of “The perfect FEMALE victim.” DeppVsHeard JohnnyDepp The actual victim:

edockterman She is extremely unlikeable. That generally doesn't play well with juries.

edockterman The facts where presented before a jury of 7 that decided that both where at fault down to the financial so there is nothing to keep bitkering about beside an appeal is being presented on behalf of Amber

edockterman AmberHeard is an imperfect victim…of her very own untreated & violent personality disorders. What she isn’t an imperfect victim of is DV & SA. In this respect she is the SOLE abuser. edockterman You’re insulting my intelligence & I don’t like it at all. You’re dead to me

edockterman I'm not sure why this newsstands are protecting an abuser.

edockterman So maybe all of the cops convicted of excessive force were just “victims”. TIME needs to get a grip on reality.

edockterman How much amber paid yall or yall just wanna kiss ass cuz she a woman.

edockterman Stop gaslighting the public. It doesn’t work.

edockterman The real blow to the Feminists came with the bringing of female Borderline Personality Disorder to public attention.

edockterman

edockterman Jeez people still thinking amber heard is the victim after watching that entire trial

edockterman Maybe this is just about a jury who saw the entire trial and did not find her credible. I watched the trial and I did not find her credible. It is a mistake to apply this one case to a movement, or DV cases in general. I trust juries.

edockterman 'Believe women' was the creation of that myth. The notion that no woman can lie, or ever be acting in anything but pure intent. This trial exposed your garbage biases, and that's why you're bitter.
