There was once a man of fame, whose name was dragged into shame, he cannot rest in peace, When he's always torn, piece by piece, by those exploiting his name

God damn... Is there no place where I can escape without discussing this thing. It feels so damn political. There are the ones who hate him and the ones who refuse to believe it and protect him. Why must one pick a side? Maybe I have to watch it to find out.

Watched it. Here's my thoughts:
"This is such a controversial documentary. It has essentially become political. Either you believe Michael Jackson is a child molester and hate him, or you do not believe it and hate people for shitting on his name and legacy. My thought is that Michael Jackson has probably done it, but it does not mean I have to hate his music or his legacy. I feel like there are some legit criticism to this documentary however. My first criticism is how their retelling of the events feel more like slander than anything else. They make Michael Jackson out to be some sex addicted sick fuck that has no other interests than to abuse children. Even though this may all be true, it feels like there is some exaggeration here. They do not interview any of the deniers, and solely has interviews from people supporting their agenda. This makes for a very biased documentary, which again, I am critical of as it does not dare to be objective. Honestly, I still believe Jackson has abused children even though McCulkin still denies it, but if the documentary would have interviewed him as well, I would respect it much more. Every individual in this film seems to push an agenda for money, and that is where I lose respect for them, because they do not explicitly make it seem so. Also, god damn, why does it have to be so long? It has such an unwarranted long run-time. It could easily have been cut down to 2 hours. Instead it goes on and on. I believe most of what they are saying, but I cannot say it is a good documentary looking besides its message." 2/5

I recently read about Wade Robson's story and as someone who was raised by a sociopath I can confirm that this is 100% authentic. You'd have to be crazy to think these days that Michael Jackson didn't molest children. Aside from the countless sexual assault accusations, he would isolate himself with scores of different children on a weekly basis. And when I read about Jackson's comments accusing his prosecutors of being racists whilst constantly violating these little white kids it reminds me what a manipulative, race-baiting piece of shit he was. MJ was a sociopathic predatory, pure and simple.
What's just as disgusting as this story itself is the fact that MJ fans have been sending death threats to these two just for speaking out about his abuse.
This story reminds me why I despise the entertainment industry, and why celebrities are among the worst kinds of people.

You knopw, I used to be one of those people who believed the hype, but even I thought it was odd how people started loving MJ after he died, even though years befoe they would've been making jokes like "Why did Michael Jackson rushed to KMart? Because he heard all kids' pants were half off!". How was it that they weren't saying "burn in hell, pedo!" ?
Now, after watching one of those interviews where he denies being a molester, plus a few others of his, I'm not so sure. Maybe he was innocent all along. A little messed up by his childhood, but not a pedophile.

While a grown ass man hanging out with children is sketchy, to say the least. When the accuser says his penis hasn't a sleeve, but it actually does, that leads to questioning their testimony.
Thus begins the great Circumcised Debate of 2019. And to think Dan E. Kool will miss this.
