Depp (or rather this case) should put a check on the movement in recent years towards casual condemnation of men, while at the same time clearly being an unpleasant example of a man.
But if this case makes some pause and consider what actual evidence they have for allegations before making them, all to the good.
As for Depp & Heard I hope they get the professional help they both evidently need.

The jury in Fairfax, Virginia, found that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard both defamed each other.
But it largely sided with Depp's side of the story, saying Heard had defamed her ex-husband with "false" statements about their relationship.
Heard won only one of her three counter-claims against Depp, because his lawyer gave a statement to the Daily Mail in 2020 calling her abuse allegations a hoax.
Possibly a hoax is far worse and more damaging than a lie or a mistake? It implies it was deliberate.
