In 1994, Johnny Depp was arrested for trashing a hotel room with then-girlfriend Kate Moss inside during an alleged fight — it gave him a "cool guy" image

Slide 3 is from an archival website of articles about Johnny Depp. It describes how the incident was allegedly centred around a fight — which other sources also state — and that it seemed to actually improve his image rather than hinder it.

The fourth slide shows the UN definition of domestic violence (IPV), which includes the behaviours Johnny Depp used in this altercation.

Disclaimers:

Kate Moss has never specifically accused Depp of abuse. She testified in the US trial and stated that he did not push her down the stairs on a questioned instance. She has publicly acknowledged that their relationship was tumultuous and they fought frequently, as has Depp.

Behaviours and actions described by both of them, and outsiders, line up with the definitions of domestic abuse, even if neither party specifically refer to it as such. Behaviours and actions of Depp with other partners also fits the definition of IPV. Additionally, he dated a 17 year old Winona Ryder — who also describes abusive dynamics, without naming them as such — as a 26 year old man. Victims and survivors do not have to acknowledge domestic abuse in order for it to have taken place; denial and lack of education is sadly common.

UK courts legally classed Depp as an abuser, finding that 12 instances of physical abuse had occurred. Depp appealed and two judges rejected this.

Johnny Depp’s first violent arrest was on September 11th 1989 for assaulting a security guard, which he pleaded guilty to. This pattern continued.

All of this can be substantiated.

Objectifying flight attendants in the 60s and 70s, who were just trying to do their jobs!

In the 60s and 70s, multiple airline companies in the US started sexualising their flight attendants in advertising and their uniforms as a way to make money.

National had an infamous ad campaign making it sound like customers were “riding” the female attendants rather than the planes.

Southwest took it farthest with their sexualised uniforms and chose booty shorts! They ran TV commercials specifically highlighting this.

Being a flight attendant is hard work and it’s like doing multiple jobs at once, they’re not there to be eye candy. At the time — and likely even now — they were treated with a lot of misogyny and unwelcome sexualisation and these ad campaigns just invited it more.

Is anyone experiencing the "euphemism treadmill" just unnecessarily making terms sillier?

I’m in the UK and I’m wondering if this is happening overseas, too!

If you’re unfamiliar with the euphemism treadmill, it refers to "The process by which euphemisms fall into disuse and are replaced by new ones, as the old ones become socially unacceptable over time."

An example might be changing the term r-tard to intellectually disabled. This is a very fair use of changing the term as the R slur became an insult to people with ID, and the term ID is more accurate.

However, sometimes they’re just plain silly or honestly make the job harder. It can become jargon or authorities trying to make their services present better and more woke (in the appropriated and misused sense) than others. It’s like HR speak.

One that has always bothered me is that around 15 years ago, "mixed race" was changed to "dual heritage" in UK services. As a mixed person, I found this to be an unnecessary use of the "treadmill" and honestly bothered me because I feel it misrepresents the mixed community by implying there are only two parts to our background, when that’s just not the case! This has now been reverted.

Similarly, they keep coming up with new backronyms like CIC - pronounced kick (children in care), previously known as looked after children for a very long time. It just makes it hard to keep up with anything and so many of these terms are very long winded.

Is this a universal issue?

I’m new to driving round town and either having to park 10-15 mins out or spending a fortune at the car parks. I ended up going Q Park once because I couldn’t find anywhere else and I’m never going there again!! Apologies if I’m being thick — like I say, new to braving the city centre.

Persistent misgendering of coworker

Hi everyone,

My coworker presents as what people would generally consider to align with their AGAB. They are openly nonbinary (but don’t talk about it at work, it doesn’t come up) and even wear a large they/them badge. My workplace is supposed to be queer accepting, but nobody except me calls them by their pronouns. They have complained to me privately several times, and I’ve complained to them too. It’s just really frustrating.

What can be done about this? They really don’t want to have to go through the entire formal complaints process and would prefer to have a chat with our manager and team because, despite this bs, they are otherwise nice and supportive people… we think it’s just genuine, actual ignorance rather than malicious. Like, they’re not computing that the they/them badge is compulsory to pay attention to since they present femininely…?

Anyhow, has anybody been through anything like this? How has this gone for you, what did you say and how did you approach it? We would love any advice and thoughts. I’m posting based on finding out what might be good for them to consider, I’m ofc not going to do anything without their permission.

I’m also queer but not bothered about particular pronouns so haven’t ran into any issues, nobody treats me any differently. I don’t know if that context makes any difference but just wanted to add it in case.

Child labour laws where??? Macaulay Culkin was covered in thousands of real bees during the filming of My Girl

Here’s some quotes from a 2025 USA Today article in which Macaulay discusses this craziness:

Culkin revealed that filmmakers used real bees in the scene where the youngster searches for Vada's beloved mood ring and is >!fatally!< swarmed.

"The way they did that, they wouldn't do that today.” Culkin says production "actually released, like, thousands of bees on me."

"They put this stuff on my fingertips that smells like the queen bee" to keep him safe, he said. "So they were actually attracted to my hands. So I wasn't a threat."

"They just told me to wave my hands in front of my face so the bees could get in front of my face so it looks good for the camera and all that stuff," he added. "They told me not to touch anything. Because at one point, I touched my pants and boom, they were just attracted to my pants."

After each of the four takes concluded, Culkin would dunk his hands in hot, soapy water, "and then dart into the woods," he said. "The bee handler gave me a piece of advice, and he says, 'Human beings run faster than bees fly.' And I was like, 'But I'm 10. How fast do you think I am?'"

Misogynistic coverage of women’s natural appearances

What a way to make women feel better about themselves, hey? If this isn’t a way to make women feel reliant on makeup to feel confident and not self-conscious, I don’t know what is. This affects all women and girls, not just the celebrities targeted.

[TW] The media’s obsession with Angelina Jolie’s weight

Sorry a lot of these are low quality, I couldn’t find them at a higher resolution.

These are just a handful out of dozens, maybe hundreds, throughout the years! Angelina has had so much unfair speculation and scrutiny about her weight. This doesn’t just affect her, it also affects the confidence, body image and self esteem of other women and girls who have seen this media and had these ideas and images forced on them over the years.

They often used very unflattering images of Angelina and even edited them to make her look more sickly. They plucked weight numbers out of thin air and presented it as fact, as well as detail about her family’s purported reactions to it.

She went through multiple serious surgeries due to having the BRCA1 gene — after losing her mother to cancer — including a double mastectomy. We also know now that she was experiencing domestic abuse. It’s really sad that the media acted in this way towards her, and her young children were also brought into this mess as part of these fake stories and speculation.

Fergie’s… interesting national anthem performance — WTF! Wednesdays

Everybody’s so creative!

In 2018, Fergie made herstory by performing this iconic and chaotic national anthem at an NBA All-Star game.

It was so controversial that she later released the following statement:

“I’ve always been honored and proud to perform the national anthem and last night I wanted to try something special for the NBA,” the Grammy-winning singer said in a statement Monday. “I’m a risk taker artistically, but clearly this rendition didn’t strike the intended tone. I love this country and honestly tried my best.”

It’s the players’ faces for me!

[TW] The disrespectful sexualisation of Sharon Tate after her murder

Obviously, nobody was okay with Sharon Tate’s murder, but the focus of my post is the disrespectful sexualisation and objectifying nature she was treated with by the media and some of the public after her murder. More explained below.

In the first example, they included sexualised, barely clothed images of her to memorialise her. Is that seriously how they chose to honour her?

In the second example, they refer to her as a “sexpot” in her actual murder announcement. This is a dehumanising and objectifying way to refer to someone who was just murdered. She was more than an attractive woman. They literally don’t even name her in the headline or subheading.

In the third example, she was only recently murdered and they thought it was in good taste to talk about her like she was a home wrecker.

New to dogs: shedding!!

Hi, sorry if this type of post isn’t allowed!

My wife and I are completely new to dogs. We have a collie cross who is shedding like crazy and also have cats. We’re following all advice to manage the shedding like using an undercoat rake but our vacuum is still constantly getting clogged. It might be that we just need to get a new vacuum 😭 We’re just not sure! Would be grateful for any advice for how you manage tons of shedding! Thank you.

Queer Eye pulling over Karamo, a Black man, as a joke

This has always rubbed me the wrong way. It’s so insensitive and inappropriate to prank a Black man with this when Black people are killed in America when pulled over. I was disgusted at the time by this “prank” and could tell Karamo was uncomfortable, even though he was laughing it off at the time. I’m glad he’s addressed this in the interview, it was unacceptable and racially biased of production to use the fear of police brutality to provoke a reaction.

It is not a coincidence that they did this when Karamo was behind the wheel. Even then, like Karamo says, this is a car of queer people… it’s scary anyhow!

How do you manage reposts?

Our sub is only 3 months old so reposts are a relatively new occurrence for us so we’re looking for advice on the best way to manage this.

Some questions we have:

Do you have a timeframe regarding reposts? As in, if it’s been a month (for example) since it was last posted, would you allow it? If so, how long is that time period for you?

Do you not allow reposts at all? No timeframe involved, period.

If you allow them within timeframes, if a certain post is posted over and over again would you disallow it regardless of this?
