There is literally no proof he was a pedophile. Sarcastic edit: The snake in that scene is telling the boy that all his problems will go away if he stings him with his stinger. The pedophillia was obviously also copied from this scene. |

I stopped listening to his music in the 90s when the accusations came out. But I’ve spent a lot of time seperatijg the tabloid smears, the false or unlikely allegations from his own story. I’m convinced he was destroyed for his money. We should enjoy his music and his legacy. And I say that as a survivor myself. |

No proof except multiple eyewitness / victim testimony and a mountain of corroborating evidence. Like Epstein. Or trump. |

You've been fooled by propaganda. His image was attacked and destroyed because he wouldn't sell his music catalog. |

All of whom have since either quietly retracted their testimony and/or admitted they lied.
A false accusation can't be corroborated
Are you this mad about them too? Or do you only pick on the easy targets to make yourself feel big? |

The relevant Wikipedia page coalates the mountain of all the evidence related- I hadn't read it till recently when someone linked it and I really have no stake in this, I don't really care about mj, but the evidence really doest point to him being a pedophile. It points to him having an unhealthy and innapropriate relationship with children and the idea of childhood. But theres honestly a really big gap between what it points to and being a pedophile who has sex with children https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Michael_Jackson_sexual_abuse_allegations?wprov=sfla1 |

I like how he thinks that just mentioning Epstein and Trump, when talking about pedos, makes him right. |

People also came out saying their parents were money hungry cunts who wanted a piece of the pie. THEY were okay to let their kids sleepover at a complete strangers home, but no one blames them skmehow. |

Lots of people blame them. I blame them. They blame them. They said so, on camera, with examples of how they failed. One of which was getting financial rewards for looking the other way. |

He slept in the bed with children that werent his own and were obsessed with them. Its not a thing a normal adult does. |

100% he was not normal and was abused his whole life. Whether he was fondling anyone or not, we'll never know for certain, but none of those kids should have been allowed to do that just to leave a safety margin. It's not impossible that he became a rich target for extortion, but he was off enough that it would def have been grounds for pedo like restraining orders. |

Not the one you replied to, but I did, and it was very hard to dismiss. I still don't think I have, completely. Maybe I should, logically, but emotionally it was hard to let go. Still conflicted about it, because the conspiracy against Michael scenario is just as probable. |

The video is a lot longer than 90 minutes. The transcript is around 100 pages. The language is simple so you'd read it in an evening. |

Cinema is not a valid reference source, even "documentaries" aren't required to be 100% true. FFS, even penguins were propagandized for generations before the public was allowed to learn that they're ridiculously homocidal rapists, etc. 🤷🏼♂️ The latter came from the field journals penned during the first excursion through their territories, way back when. The cover up that swiftly followed said expedition's report was bankrolled by the running class & its academic policy makers. |
