Cancel Culture —- Michael Jackson

[Anonymous]

MJ was creepy. Where there’s smoke there’s fire and there was a TON of smoke surrounding him.

His family has been complicit in denying all the allegations, so inasmuch as the royalties for his music goes to them, I don’t listen to his music anymore.

Agree. He was clearly abused by his father and others. But that doesn’t excuse his obvious abuse of others. I do not listen to his music anymore.

I don’t believe those men, and I make it a point to listen to Jackson’s music because I think he was wrongly cancelled by society.

If you discovered that they are telling the truth would that change anything for you?

How would we discover they were telling the truth? It’s their word against a dead man. That’s why he hasn’t been canceled. That’s why they still play his music on the radio, in movies and in stores. MJ following is too big to cancel him over two random men who claim abuse after he is already dead. Even when he was alive people still overlooked the abuse allegations.

Say that video evidence came out that proved it without a doubt.

Would that change anything for you?

Change what? He’s still dead. Do I believe he is a creepy man? Absolutely. Do I believe sh*tty parents were basically his accomplices? Absolutely. But I also thought he was questionable when the very first allegations came out in the 90s. This new documentary didn’t make me question him anymore than I already did bc, he’s dead.

So, it doesn’t matter to you one way or another if MJ sexually abused children? You will play his music no matter what because you think he was “wrongly cancelled by society”?

NP. Yes, exactly. Although the reason I listen to his music is because it's great, because he's a talented musician

There’s a ton of other excellent music by talented musicians who didn’t abuse kids.

Listen — musicians are FAR from a flawless bunch. Most of them had substance abuse issues, cheated on their wives (for the men), etc. but for me, child abuse is beyond the pale.

He wasn’t canceled by society. He was canceled by you and a few others who need a documentary to make decisions. If you didn’t care in the 90s, idk why you pretend to care now. Idk if he sexually abused children. I believe he is odd and spent way too much time with children, whose parents offered them up on a silver platter. Waiting for someone to die to attack them doesn’t convince me of much. I listen to his music bc I enjoy it.

You still haven’t answered - if you knew for sure that he sexually abused kids would you continue to listen to him?

And those were your words “he was wrongly cancelled by society”.

You asked if it would change anything, not if someone would continue to listen to him. Be clear about your intentions. How would I know for sure? You mean if a clear video came out with him abusing children would I stop listening to him? Probably but, I won’t know until that imaginary video comes out. We know that all it takes for you to jump on a bandwagon is a documentary after someone is already dead.

Even if he did abuse anyone, he still made some great music. For me personally, negative actions don’t cancel out positive ones. YMMV.

I still listen to R. Kelly. The same as I listen to Marvin Gaye. Great music is great music.

What did Marvin Gaye do?

I would not leave my 2 little kids in the care of an eccentric celebrity without me being right next to them. They certainly would not be sleeping in his bed. If they wanted to spend time with him, they can do it with me in the room. The whole shit was very odd. Staying in a hotel and the kid sleeps with Michael instead of his mom. No way!

Enjoy your child rapist soundtrack.

Plenty of people do. You think you are saying something that is suppose to shock and upset someone. It doesn’t.

Says the person not shocked or upset by the rape of children.

I don't know what to believe but the man is not here to defend these allegations, so there is still doubt as to what happened.

He didn’t do a convincing job of refuting the allegations when he was here to defend himself.
