"where there's smoke there's fire" position. At the same time, as a big fan of the man's music and career, in the back of my mind there was always lingering doubt. Largely because none of what he was being accused of (primarily the charge of being a "relentless, calculated predator" didn't fit what I knew about him via interviews, etc. But "what I knew about him" was admittedly only what I had seen over years of following him sort of peripherally, I never really dug deep into the details of the accusations, the trials, etc. Until recently.

Yea and I won't watch this film. This is a tough situation for me from an ideological standpoint. Because on one hand, I am vehemently pro-victim, in that I'm *alwys* urging people to believe victims until proven otherwise. Because for so long, victims of rape, child abuse, etc. have been ignored and destroyed. i.e. the #metoo movement, huge proponent and ally of that movement.
But on the other hand, in a case like this, here's two victims telling a story, yet there seems to be a MOUNTAIN of evidence to dispute what they're saying. It's way, way more than just "why'd they wait so long to tell their story" which is, IMO, such a weak defense absent other contradictory evidence. So while my natural inclination is to believe victims no matter what, this situation has way way way too many red flags (to use a term the dude in this video used) for me to just blindly believe these dudes.

Yea that's what's so remarkable about this entire thing (in addition to his linguistic gymnastics ... holy shit that dude can turn a phrase): everything he said was backed by solid, concrete evidence. Not just word of mouth, not just some unverifiable information, but hard, near-indisputable evidence. Like he's not just persuading you, he's leaving you no option but to be convinced that everything we've seen and heard over the years has been total and complete horseshit.
One of the more convincing parts of the 3 parts of this dude's rant was when Aphrodite was talking about how she wanted to write a pro-MJ book post-acquittal and she was *literally* silenced by the entire publishing community. That shit was fucking MINDBLOWING. For starters, it's wild that all publishers banded together/conspired like that against one person for reasons unknown. But another shocking aspect of that was how they framed it as a financial decision; like the publishers decided to silence pro-MJ folks because they were pissed that they didn't get their "the King of Pop is a pedo" story to publish worldwide. But wouldn't a pro-MJ book, specifically post-acquittal, be nearly as profitable ? MJ has RABID fans all over the fucking world. I can't imagine how anything about him wouldn't have made them money.
Disgusting, deplorable behavior by the publishing companies if that story is to be believed.
>you show this to someone and they're like > >"but would you let your kids sleep in his bed tho" > >I'm like "Nigga, you know the answer is no. Stop being >stupid".
Yes. I don't think any pro-MJ person has ever disputed the fact that MJ was a strange motherfucker who didn't do himself any favors by how he handled his time w/children. So that attempt at deflection is sort of irrelevant. The parents of these kids share a ton of the blame for this entire thing, to varying degrees.

Yea. It's truly a tragedy how this man was treated throughout his life. He gave the world plenty but I think, as impossible as it sounds considering all he DID do, that he had so so so much more to offer the world but was handicapped from doing so by various institutions, whether due to greed, jealousy, fear, or what have you.
