I identify myself as Amber-Anti and I'm biased af, don't deny it. People are always biased, whoever says the otherwise only lie to themselves but it's fine as long as you don't see things binarily. I only watch this trial for its entertainment value, most people ITT feel the same I do believe.
Who gives a feck what'' happening on social media, it's a cesspool anyway. Internet does internet thing. If you type "horsecrap" on you search bar, what do you expect from the results? Doesn't mean internet is full of shit.
We are always biased, but it is important to note that biases come from a source whether it is reasonable or not. Bias on the base of mysogyny is unacceptable but people being bias because of the evidence they've seen is not. Sometimes people with bias are unfortunately lumped together as if their bias all comes from the same place when that's just not the case.
Personally my timeline was:
Sun paper showing photoshopped AH injuries - Yikes. Johnny is awful. Didn't know who AH was.
Build up to Sun trial - leant towards being slightly more neutral as I felt there must have been some reason to bring a case so maybe it wasn't clear-cut.
Sun trial verdict - JD is a scumbag that beat up his wife.
Personally looking at the testimony, evidence & verdict of the trial - Seemed pretty damn sus that the judge ruled against JD, started personally favouring his version of events.
More info came out in the build-up to this trial - Heavily swayed me to Depp's side, definitely at the point where I became undoubtedly bias toward his version of events.
This trial - Solidified my bias to the point where I can't even comprehend how anyone can side with Amber at this point.
Btw, to clarify, I'm agreeing with your post on bias, not being argumentative.
