Why was Michael Jackson not completely cancelled?

Mostly because he was Michael Jackson.

FWIW, I always found him incredibly creepy.

It was fake smear.

He was never found guilty

Nearly all male artists/figures were cancellable. I used to love MJ. If he comes on, I still like his music, but I feel a pang of sadness that he was a sick abuser and I feel sad he must’ve been abused himself. As a result, my family doesn’t listen to his music together and I don’t teach my kids about him.
