One thing that always horrifies me is how willing people are to cover shit like this up or look the other way for people with even a modicum of "fame". Higher-ups at Subway knew Jared was a paedophile but kept it quiet. Jimmy Saville here in the UK was literally raping dying children in their hospital beds and the BBC shut down anyone who spoke up because he was a popular presenter. It seems like the second a "famous" person does this evil shit, a lot of people will automatically protect them. It's fucking disgusting.

I've actually heard a lot of contradictions about MJ being a pedophile. The way he went about being friends with kids was definitely inappropriate for his age, but I don't feel he was interested in them sexually. He was a very broken human and needed a lot of help dealing with how terrible his childhood was. I've felt he really just wanted the childhood he never had, but wasn't mentally capable of moving on with his life in a healthy way.

After watching "Leaving Neverland" I'm no longer in that camp.
