Why are they so invested in this case? All they're doing is making themselves look more and more deranged, defending an obvious abuser. Is there some special reason they can't just stop shooting themselves in the foot?

The idea that sometimes a woman won't be instantly believed + the man automatically cancelled no matter how demonstrably absurd or false the accusation made by the woman is : that is an existencial threat to Feminists.

See also : The Wage Gap Myth.

For Quebecois readers : The Alice Paquet false rape accusations against a député of the Assemblée nationale. ( It was demonstrated she lied about everything, while parroting Feminists mythology ( such as falsely claiming ''the police tried to scare her out of accusing an important political man'', but the guy still got canceled from politics. )

Feminists never abandonned the Duluth model :

Men are always the abuser, women are always the victim. If every verrifiable fact shows the woman is the one starting, or commiting totally one-sided violence, she was still defending herself against Patriarchal abuse that were not physical violence, but just as bad or worse.

In their mind, Johnny Depp is the guilty one no matter the evidence, and this verdict is enabling Patriarchal opression of women everywhere. Anyone supporting Johnny and happy with the verdict, is thus, a Misogynist.

( P.S. : To this day, Feminists still try to allude without outright saying it that Alice Paquet was raped by the politician whenever they think no one will stick their neck out to correct their lies and risk being branded as a ''mysoginist rape culture enabler''.

They will do the same with Amber Heard.)

What you are viewing is extremism. It's why it makes no sense for them to do it. They're extremists in a cult of behavior. Let me explain. They have to collectively defend one of their own. The church demands it. If any one of them in the church of the perpetually offended feels the need to think that maybe Depp had a point in spending all this time and money (remember it started over in the UK years ago) just to point out the facts, well then, they start to have the bad thoughts. And of course, they can't have the bad thoughts, they're good people. Good people don't think or do bad. If they start thinking they're the baddies, the cult of the perpetually offended will have to cast them out like an apostate. And no one hates an apostate more than those who just called them friend.

NPCs literally are programmed. Repeat the mantra enough times and it replaces any other thoughts they have. Logic and reason don't matter. Keep repeating the mantra.

They can't change THE MESSAGE so they're doubling-down.
