I think pop culture and fandom gives celebrities too much power over public consciousness, both when they appear nice and when it's been discovered that they're awful. But, at the end of the day, they're just regular humans that the rest of us treat as gods.

I don't know Neil Gaiman, Johnny Depp, or Amber Heard personally, so I don't really have opinions or looked into those matters. It's awful when people are abused, and I hope victims get the help that they need from people around them and within the legal system, which I know is imperfect. Personally, I'm not part of the jury or know any of these people, and I'm not in a position where I can help, so it's a lot more mental bandwidth than I can personally handle. Sometimes I worry that celebrity drama, and the reports of violence that sometimes comes with that, is a form of entertainment for some people. But I also realize for other people, following drama is a way to confirm if justice has been served, or analyzing a victim's lived experiences for self-protection against wolves in sheeps' clothing, so I'm not judging anyone. What I'll say is if someone in my life or who lives in my city needs help, I'm there for them.
