Not fair - I agree with OP.

Not fair because of what you think? You are not in charge of anything.

Because you can't practice mind control. "We" do what we want.

So you would support someone who was probably a pedophile. Gross.

Your opinions of me is nothing. Smaller than a gnat. Invisible.

Michael had plenty of mental health issues especially body dysmorphia but I tend to believe he was more asexual than pedophilic.
His supposed bio kids were not his. He didn’t sleep with Debbie.

I think he mentally thought he was still a kid and didn’t have sexual desire for either women, men, or kids.

I think this too and I think it was something his parents did to have him keep his young voice.

Because it is excellent music? I don’t understand your question.

I still listen to some MJ, it’s good music. I am not thinking about him as a person. Just enjoying the art. Just like I can enjoy a painting without knowing for sure that the artist was a person of integrity.

What did Cardi B do?

Exist while being black

I just finished a book called Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma by Claire Dederer about this very issue. Interesting read for anyone who is/was a fan of Allen, Polanski, Jackson, Picasso, …

Most exist without drugging, robbing, and sexually assaulting…

The OP doesn't understand why her mind doesn't control the world.

I find the Woody Allen thing conflicting. Most of the negativity around him comes from Mia. Mia had plenty of her own problems. Several of her adopted kids are dead, several have accused her of abuse, and not all the kids support Dylan and her accusations against Allen. What is the truth? Nobody knows.

Ummmmm…because he’s completely innocent.

After watching a few documentaries about it, I don’t think he abused Dylan. But he did marry his daughter and even though they hadn’t lived together and he hadn’t spent much time with her until she went to college, it is still twisted and weird.

Doesn’t change Woody Allen’s grooming behavior. (Come on! He made it official with Soon Yi the minute she turned 18!)
And the “nobody knows” comment isn’t accurate. Dylan Farrow “knows” what he did to her and has been telling her story publicly for years.
Years.
People just dont want to “know” this about him so they pretend that she must have been coached by a disgruntled Mia AnD if Soon Yi is fine now as an adult, then it’s perfectly okay that he groomed her as a child and then married her as soon as she was an adult. it’s fine.

Same with Polanski. The accuser says she’s gotten past it and is fine now. Doesn’t change the fact that he, as a grown adult in a position of power over her potential career, drugged and had sex with her when she was 14.

People don’t like to admit when their idols are such flawed humans. Cognitive dissonance

While I see an argument about not supporting an artist you otherwise admire if said support would contribute to him monetarily, Michael Jackson is dead. Buying every song he ever made ten times each would not contribute to supporting him in any way.

Someone can be a terrible person, a criminal, a monster and still make great art. I do not get canceling the art with the artist especially if said artist can’t benefit from it. I judge art, music, and things in general on whether I like it, not whether its creator comports with my morals. Are we going to cancel Apple products because Steve Jobs who’s now dead was a jerk?

I also still enjoy Ignition.

I recently read R Kelly's victims receive royalties from his songs.

RE: MJ, society is different now than it was in 2012. Same way OJ was acquitted, but if tried today, would like be convicted.
