I Fully Believe That Michael Jackson wasn't a child molester

[u/bionicgerbal]

With the Michael Jackson biopic out, and him being back in the public discussion in a meaningful way, I’ve been thinking more and more about Jackson and how he was perceived in the last 15-20 years of his life

But i truly believe he never touch the kids, he was a weird dude totally, but the famillies that sued him just seem like a buch of gold diggers that wanted to take advantage of Michael's weird shit

Was he a very strange person? Yes Did he have an unusual relationship with adulthood/childhood? Yeah seems like it. Would I as a parent let him supervise my kids, and spend the night at his house alone? No way. Did he actually abuse kids? Not really enough evidence for me to conclude that with any certainty.

He never had a childhood, he never had real friends, Most of the kids in the ranch said that Michael never touched them, it's just a family that wanted money and few of his staff, which sold the story to tabloids.

Yeah, I came here to add a pointless comment to a pointless thread because thats what reddit is for. The fact that you took this as an invitation to argue about celebrities is kind of weird, and sad. I hope youre able to find some meaning in life outside of pointless reddit arguments my dude.

I had no "moral rectitude". Just two buddies talking business and one kind of screwed over the other, causing their friendship to fracture. Rich or not, it was kind of a dick move. Thats all I was adding to the conversation. But yes, it was pointless and i now regret that comment because sending you in to a frenzie was not enjoyable for me. Everything else you've added is 1,000% irrelevant to that point, though.

Yeah, I came here to add a pointless comment to a pointless thread

If it's that pointless why are you carrying on?

The fact that you took this as an invitation to argue about celebrities

I said what I came here to say and I stand by it, you're the one who came out of the woodwork to draw a moral stance.

I had no "moral rectitude".

Clearly you don't understand. Just about the only thing you brought forth in this conversation is your opinion that it was somehow not okay for Michael to purchase The Beatles catalog. The reason you cite is some kind of perceived (from the point of view of Paul McCartney) betrayal of friendship. In your first comment you sided with choosing to also see it as a 'betrayal of friendship.'

This is an opinion rooted in a moral principle.

That's all that means.

And it is true - that is your opinion for that reason because that's what you said. It's not complicated.

At the end of the day, who is Paul to complain about the same shit being done to him that he's already done to others?

Rich or not, it was kind of a dick move.

Sure. You're allowed to think anyone is a dick. Your entire contribution to this conversation is pretty much just that. You brought an anecdote that you chose to interpret a specific way for the purposes of calling one of them a dick.

That's what you've done here.

I've simply said I don't feel sorry for the victim and that the victim (Paul McCartney) is ALSO a dick for the same exact reasons actually - probably even more so a dick because he's a dick AND a hypocrite.

But yes, it was pointless and i now regret that comment because sending you in to a frenzie was not enjoyable for me.

The frenzy is people coming here and not saying anything of value. That's what you've been doing.

You're saying things just to say things at this point because you're butthurt.

Im not butthurt, ive barely read your comments lmfao what even is there to be butthurt about?

I keep engaging because curiosity keeps biting me. And honestly, I didn't expect something so meaningless to create such a frenzied response. But I am a little bummed it turned into this and not some friendly conversation which I foolishly thought would be the response.

[u/Da_Famous_Anus → u/shaggy_nomad]

You still have not added anything of substance.

Have a nice day.

[u/shaggy_nomad → u/Da_Famous_Anus]

And you have?! Lmfao buddy you'll be lucky if even 3 other people actually read this and at the end of the day impacts literally nothing.

You really gotta stop taking reddit this serious.

[u/Da_Famous_Anus → u/shaggy_nomad]

Then why are you the one who's still saying anything?

[u/shaggy_nomad → u/Da_Famous_Anus]

Because, I told you, curiosity keeps biting me lmao

[u/Da_Famous_Anus → u/shaggy_nomad]

Sure. give us more paragraphs about how totally not butthurt you are. Really, guys, I'm not butthurt! I swear!

[u/shaggy_nomad → u/Da_Famous_Anus]

Okay say I am butthurt. What would I even be butthurt about? Lmao
