As the title suggests, this article presents just straight up facts about Jackson, and I think the facts alone are damning

His stans look at this like “welllll an adult man repeatedly slept in the same bed as random children and probably showed them porn for totally innocent reasons. One of the boys was also able to accurately draw the man’s penis for totally innocent reasons, too.” Do you hear yourselves? Would you ever make a fool out of yourself defending a guy who was accused of the same things if you didn’t like his songs?

Then his stans are like “ohhh, multiple people came forward with child sex abuse allegations that detail a similar pattern of behavior? Well that’s cuz the later accusers just studied off the previous ones—“ when in the fuck does that ever actually happen? Just come on. People need to be honest that they simply don't want to believe this is true

I think what's depressing is that this documentary didn't actually have the effect the Jackson estate feared it would. Like so many other abuse stories, enough people shrugged and moved on. It definitely gives you whiplash, though, to go on some people's social media pages, see them post things about how horrible Epstein was, and then turn around and earnestly say all of these child sex abuse accusations against their favorite wealthy, influential pop star were false. Oh, and did you know there have been new accusations made against Michael Jackson just this year?
