I am the Wizard Master
I was thinking earlier about how much the public opinion on Michael Jackson's child abuse allegations have shifted since the release of Finding Neverland - while I haven't personally seen the documentary, it's my understanding that the documentary has firmly changed a lot of people's idea on Micheal's actions. This also aligns with a change for the better in public discourse around victims of abuse - I distinctly remember that the accepted consesus since the 90s was that the victim's parents were simply looking for a large settlement. What's also interesting to note is that belief in Michael Jackson's innocence seems to be firmly along racial lines in the US, very similar to the OJ Simpson trial that gripped the 90s.

Do you think Michael Jackson molested those children?

What if he was born white and did blackface all through his childhood, but then he ran out of makeup in the early 90s, and then he was just like gently caress it ima get plastic surgery to look like an elderly Asian woman and reinvent myself? :thunkin:

I never saw the new documentary so maybe some new irrefutable evidence came to light that I don't know about. But I always thought he was innocent, but extremely immature and childish with zero self awareness. If he had been born 30 years later he would have fallen into the otherkin community hard.

Michael Jackson? The guy who had little boys brought to his home so he could share his bed with them? Nah, I'm sure nothing untoward happened there at all.

The only thing he's guilty of is having the voice of an angel, and molesting children.

"That's what they all say!"
The classic evidence on the side of him molesting children was that kids were able to give a detailed description of his penis (as a consequence of his skin-lightening procedures, it was striped like a barber pole). Based on this, I leaned toward him being guilty.

Then I learned that this was public information due to a previous legal deposition, so the kids who said it might have been coached.

I bet he raped everything he could get his hands on. Adults, peoples pets, birdhouses, car mufflers, rubbing his hard, spermy penis on Bundt cakes, lottery scratchoffs, fuckin goddamn bowls of lobster bisque, squeezing couch cushions together. It was all about how his oppressive father didn’t let him rape the poo poo he wanted to while he was in the Jackson 5. He has all this pent up rape aggression from a squandered childhood. He always wanted to be an Asian woman, but like, with a dick, but his piece of poo poo dad wouldn’t let him. :shrug:

SUCK A MALE CAMEL'S DICK WITH MIRACLE WHIP!!
I heard that the reason he bought the rights to all the Beatles songs is because he wanted to remake the song "Here comes the sun" and hange it to "Here comes your son".

If he'd gotten in trouble for that he probably would have teamed up with Elton John, and remade one of Elton John's songs as a public service announcement. "Don't let the sun go down on me" would have become "Don't let your son go down on me".

I heard that his favorite song was that one by Mott The Hoople, you know the one I mean. It was called All The Young Dudes. Whenever he heard the song he'd change the lyrics a bit though.

His version of the chorus went like this:
All you young dudes
Lets all get nude
We'll drink Jesus Juice
Then I will splooge

Absolutely guilty and Leaving Neverland sealed the deal.

I’m still on the fence about it because I haven’t seen Leaving Neverland, and there have been at least two other documentaries made to contradict and disprove Leaving Neverland that seem just as credible as LN. My own belief is that he was oblivious to his weirdo childlike personality around hosting children at a giant ranch and how it was viewed by the press, fans, and general population, but never did anything that was inappropriate or diddly. He really shouldn’t have been around children, though.

If Leaving Neverland seals the deal should I see it, so be it. Then he’s guilty as gently caress.

I misremembered the striped penis details.

https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/03/10-undeniable-facts-about-the-michael-jackson-sexual-abuse-allegations

His penis and butt were striped because of vitiligo, and kids were able to accurately draw these marks. However, kids couldn't agree on if Jackson was circumcized.

MJ was definitely doing weird stuff with those kids but I doubt he actually raped them. Probably more like nudity, cuddling, touching which is obviously still extremely hosed up.
