It's about identity politics, certainly. Straight white men like Depp are always going to be thrown under the bus. However, there seems to be groups that rank higher than women. Trans people for one, as evidenced by the treatment of J.K. Rowling and the left's dislike of terfs generally. Muslims (or perhaps more accurately, people from the Middle East/North Africa) as demonstrated by the treatment of rape gangs in Europe, for another.
