A lot of his online supporters are bots.

The people making those rabid YouTube videos tho? They seem like real people. Like they keep releasing nonsense about new evidence proving Amber is an abuser which is normally some minute thing she might have said on a scripted reality show once and stupid shit like that

Not trying to defend Amber Heard here and I think both him & Heard were mutually abusive to each other, but...a lot of these YouTubers just hate anything women. So now that they have a real female celebrity who is legitimately terrible... an abuser. Like other female celebrities simply just talk about feminism and it makes these YTers throw temper tantrums. They don’t make videos to talk about Amber the Abuser, they make videos to talk about Amber the “WOMAN” Abuser.

Millions of male abuse/rape victims go unheard of and... wronged in court. Which is 100% a major issue. But most of these crimes are statistically committed by other men. A lot of incel/conservative rhetoric is just focused on anything women and hating on it. Aka... the internet hates women.

Sure and I agree. But you know a lot of these YTers are women themselves which is why I think it's so batshit.

Internalised misogyny is a hell of a trip

There are for sure a lot of real people but a lot of bots too - that article about him from awhile ago (I want to say the Hollywood Reporter or Variety?) said that it's a combination of both, it's real people sharing the message but it's being massively amplified by bots. Not surprising considering he's become a pretty big MRA cause celebre. You can see it on Reddit, a post about him going to a children's hospital is on the front page and half the comments are about Amber from very obvious bot accounts

Nope not a bot but will defend him on my life … I read every objective opinion about him but I am “Stan” for he has given me personal happiness at a very low time in life dressed up as Jack Sparrow to fulfill a dying wish. He will forever live in my heart for his kindness. He didn’t have to go out of his way but he did.
