So I finally got to watch the documentary on Youtube last night right before it got nuked. Lucky me.
The descriptions of the sex acts are pretty graphic. But I was expecting that. Wade Robson's mother tore her family apart seeking fame for Wade. I found her destestable. I am still in awe that all these mothers allowed a grown ass man to sleep with their little boys. Because he acted like a child? That somehow makes it safe?
I have no doubt he was lonely and probably enjoyed becoming part of familes because his own was so fucked up. The whole Jackson family is off the charts on crazy and dysfuctional. Maybe Neverland was supposed to be the playground he could finally be free in and the kids were the friends he was never allowed to have. But I still have a hard time now believing it was all innocent. I have gone through periods of believing he was a pedo and believing he was not. After seeing this documentary I just wanted to smack both mothers for being so damn stupid and irresponsible. Even if Michael was not a pedo you just don't leave your kid alone for days on end in the bedroom of a strange man you just met.
The mothers were wowed by things like an extensive wine collection, trips, beautiful guest rooms, gifts and all the amenities that came with being the friend of a celebrity. You see this talked abut when people bring up sleazy producers who make the parents feel like stars too so they will leave their kids alone with creepos. Look how crazy moneystruck Corey Feldman's parents got. I've seen an interview with his crazy narcotic brain melted mother where she seems to have no concept of what money means and comes off like a kid given $20 by grandma. You just keep spending it until it's gone.
These parents were just given the star treatment and got distracted. Wade and James were only very minor child celebrities by contrast. But their moms seemed a world away living the fantasy life while Michael went off alone with their sons with no other adult present. He was separating and isolating using his wealth and genorocity as an invisible barrier.
I just can't see how the hell it all went on for so long without the moms getting a lightbulb moment. It should have been "no you can't sleep with my son" right from the start. Pedo or not you just don't encourage these things that potentially put your child in danger. Just because he was childlike doesn't make it alright. He was a man in his 30s and you are letting a seven year old walk off alone into a bedroom with him. Michael Jackson wasn't a little boy you send your son off to play with. He was an adult.
And there’s a hundred pages of people with MJ themed avatars and names saying he dindu nuffin because of some combination of “he was never committed” or “they defended him before.” 150 pages in someone has the gall to say the media only cares because the victims are white men, but they were little boys. They legitimately don’t care about victims and just want to protect the man who did a silly dance with Eddie Murphy
Something said (I think by Safechuck) near the end was that his fans only know Michael Jackson the entertainer. He knew Michael Jackson the person.
Just look at all the people who will defend their pet celebrity to hell and back regardless of whatever evidence comes out or allegations are made over and over again to the point where they cannot be ignored. Someone isn't magically innocent because you like their music or movies. That's not how it works.
And with Michael, despite turning himself paler than the average mayo man, the black community still likes to paint it all as wypipo trying to tear down a black man who succeeded. But that's also not how guilt works. eing a successful black man does not somehow magically exclude you from guilt. You can still do bad things. Bill Cosby is just a bit of an anomaly in the sense that black people didn't like that he pretty much told them to stop being niggers, pick up a school book and raise themselves up. They got pissed at his infamous pound cake story. But he was telling the truth. Your life should be worth more to you than being shot over a piece of pound cake. So blacks always seem kind of divided on Cosby even though he is technically beloved. Of course he is now a black man in prison. So there is that to think about.
Haven't seen the documentary, for all I know MJ could very well be guilty, however I also think that trying to scrub away all traces of MJ's influence from American culture is fucking exceptional. Just accept that people like his music and go after the man himself instead of just blindly attacking fans of it or anything that features or references him. Hell, I even
saw some people go after DMC's Faust Hat dance, even though it was likely mocapped 1-2 YEARS before Leaving Neverland even aired. MJ might've been an evil piece of shit, but completely censoring his presence from pop culture will just make his blind supporters look like martyrs.
Example:
CNN Talking About Al Jean removing MJ's Simpsons episode
It's ludicrous. His career spanned decades. It's like trying to wipe Elvis off the pop culture map. MJ was probably the last celebrity of his kind. He was enormous in his heyday. He was everywhere. And even in the more Wacko Jacko days where he got more and more wacko he was still all over the news all the time because he was wacko. How are you gonna erase all that and just pretend he wasn't a thing?
All based on a documentary that doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know and just goes into sickening detail about stuff we already heard about? Why wasn't MJ getting cancelled years before this? He's been dead ten years but now we are clutching pearls? Give me a break. It's all about looking good in the metoo era. No one wants to be "that guy" who looks like they are promoting MJ after Leaving Neverland aired. I doubt they care much about the victims. This is a chance to just look like they do.
