"Do your own research"
I haven't even watched the documentaries and wasn't old enough to understand the court cases/what the allegations were just remember the pedo jokes on late night tv or in eminem vids which I didn't have a frame of reference to understand due to my age. I know me and my family enjoyed his music and I remember everyone being sad about his death. I'm gen z or some would say a zillenial as I'm on the cusp.
Went to see the biopic with my family and I enjoyed it. I enjoy music and regularly go to concerts someone asked me who I would see if I could see anyone dead or alive and I picked MJ literally last week.
But I kept seeing "do your own research" every time the allegations were brought up on social media by people defending MJ and now I've done my own research I'm convinced this guy was probably a nonce.
Even if I knew nothing, no one can convince me a guy that looked like that is normal. MJ defenders could be right about family members or witnesses being money motivated. But I see news of parents selling their 6 year olds into child marriage/sexual slavery, in fact, it's probably happening right now in some part of the world unfortunately.
It's not far fetched that families wouldn't do it with substantially more money, fame and a celebrity involved, and even so families being money motivated wouldn't absolve MJ of wrongdoing anyway just means their parents were problematic too (especially those who did sleep overs after the allegations????).
