I get really tired of going back and forth on all these weird little things, when the facts as MJ admitted them are concerning. Here are the major things everyone agrees on:
- he slept in beds with A LOT of boys of prepubescent boys
- he settled lawsuits for millions of dollars for molestation claims from some of those boys
- and after paying out the millions of dollars, he didn't stop sleeping in beds with prepubescent boys.
#3 is especially damning. If it was so hurtful to be called a pedo and he was so innocent why the fuck would he keep doing the exact thing that got him accused and in trouble? If it was just innocent sleeping then why would he find it worthwhile to continue? If it were completely innocent why did he keep doing this shit after he had his own kids to sleep next to? His own explanations do not even get near explaining away the problems with the set of facts he admits to. The simple explanation is that he molested some kids. What specific kids got molested and if they were in the leaving neverland documentary isn't really relevant, I'm talking about what can be concluded based only on the facts that MJ volunteered to the world.
that isn't how it works lol, Josh isn't a moral authority. He is an authority on the rules of his own forum and who gets to stay or go. Razorfist is a lolcow with a thread and josh RTs stuff about lolcows. It may go as far as that, or not, I don't really care because I can make up my own mind.
I'm surprised you haven't shared your motivations for defending MJ (from the "things that personally piss you off" thread):
you have a heavy emotional investment in MJ being innocent. It might be helpful for other people to know this before they decide to argue with you or not.
