It's funny that you fail to mention these so roles that he still has. The only role I can find is a voice role for an Italian animated series known as Puffins. You can hide your head in a sand all you want but Depp is blacklisted from Hollywood. Again, this is bad because there is documented recordings and photos of Amber Heard abusing Depp. Meanwhile Amber Heard has yet to lose a single brand deal or movie. You cannot seriously think some obscure Italian voice role is anywhere near same as working for Warner Brothers or Disney. It should be noted that WB still continues to work with Heard and not Johnny.

The only people downplaying victims are people like you. You side with Hollywood when they blacklist Johnny Depp in spite of the already mentioned evidence of abuse and his exes defending him against the allegations. But then you act surprised when Hollywood openly congratulates pedophiles like Roman Polanski at the Oscars.

Yet you missed my point, people may be uncomfortable with certain people on a project seeing them or their friends as genetically inferior and stuff, which I find weird as the people defending this always go "It's a free market" and then get mad when people choose not to give their money as intended of the free market. I'd also argue that doing it twice, which is what Kimura did, neither time with an apology, means people can indeed have an issue with it. Spinning it as "Yeah well it's not as bad as a literal crime so it's completely harmless" is... Off to me.

That's his only TV role, he's still had a couple of movie roles, 5 in 2018 meaning there weren't any reshoots to remove him and one in 2019 and 2020. Not much but hardly blacklisted, especially as a new mainline Pirates of the Carribean in the works and how Depp waited 2 years to fight the claims.

I don't recall saying Johnny Depp is getting what he deserved or calling him the one the only one in the wrong and it's odd to accuse me of defending Hollywood while condemning me for criticizing how Polanski has a career, especially as your stance is "Kimura didn't do anything illegal so criticism is bad when there's so much worse". As a victim of heavy abuse myself, I don't take kindly to the idea that I'm downplaying victims because I'm saying Depp's career didn't die and how I think it's important to crack down on discrimination alongside abuse
