Obviously he was innocent of what he was accused, and she did act in bad faith.

It's a good outcome for this court case. For about a decade there was an explosion of cases where the courts (or public opinion) basically just believed women's allegations without much proof. It lasted for ten years if this is any guide. Ten years of female tyranny in this sector. In a weird way Heard is almost correct about what this trial means. It means that men really do call the shots and will fix past oversights pretty quickly.

Will women be less believed when they claim abuse? In the public opinion, yes. But let's be honest, even with me too women weren't believed. The only thing to come out of me too was Weinstien and he was guilty af. Everyone else accused of abuse is back at their jobs because public opinion wanted them there.

I didn't follow MeToo, but neither did most people, so seeing how public opinion found the possibility that their favorite stars were sleazy creeps too inconvenient was pretty shocking.
I think the Manosphere and MRAs get at least one thing wrong about the gynocracy: women are expected to make their bodies convenient and are hated if they renege on this "agreement". You see it all the time from horny high school boys calling the popular girls sluts because they're out of reach to the entire discussion around MeToo basically assuming it.

And it was not a random assortment of men accused. It was men about whom there had always been rumors (Spacey, Wernstein, Franco) and a lot of comedians (anyone who follows comedy knows comedians are horny and impulsive as a rule). You didn't see squeaky clean people like Weird Al being accused.

It's kinda why the current mistrust between the genders probably won't be fixed. Both genders want different sets of rules for the other to play by, that they then change when it's convenient.

The slut-stud double standard is one thing, and makes sense on its own terms, but the slut-bitch continuum is harder to defend. A girl is either a slut who gives it up too easily. Or she's a bitch who is wasting your time (by not giving it up).

And women contribute to it as well, of course, because they want to pretend they didn't consent instead of just admitting they were fooled. It gives prevaricators enough room to muddy the waters when they do that.

There was just so much evidence against Amber, it was impossible that she would win. After seeing what clowns she had for lawyers, I think she shopped this round to different law firms and the team she was in court with were the first who were willing to let her go to trail and not settle out of court with a NDA. Now Amber can work as a Somalië to pay back the 10M$.

Look, she ran out of Star Trek: Discovery episodes to pretend were good, and that series is likely over anyways. She had to find something to bring her name to the limelight again, she can't make a decent living off of the 100 or so people genuinely interested in watching her recap Buffyverse shows.

She usually comes out to stir shit from time to time.

I remember she made a mafia-esque veiled threat at CDProjektRed during Cyberpunk 2077's development that if they didn't bring her on as a trans rep consultant then people would be upset.

That's tried and true as a SCOTUS tactic. Happened to Thomas as well.
And as you say it's about more than his character as a man. It's political in a way that calling James Franco a predator isn't. You can politicize MeToo but it wasn't directly tied to the political process.
So I didn't count it. I see it as independent of MeToo. Because it predates it and especially since the country was partisanly divided on Kavanaugh, despite how vacuous the allegations were, unlike MeToo where everyone wanted the status quo back.
