They the big three like they started a league but right he feel like Muhammad Ali

Winter in shambles

but his death date is my phones password

Mike innocent

this gif got me rolling

I mean you titled this one way, then offer a completely different context to your argument as to why, but I don’t disagree with the title premise

I’ve only ever seen people sidestep the matter of a grown man inviting peoples children to his home & sleeping in the same bed as them, anyone who tries to rationalize or dismiss that deserves infinite concussions

You gon make me call my bros for assistance

How can you say it would’ve been worse? It’s not like the story could’ve been bigger, it was the biggest story at the time. Plus the media only showed it one way. It’s not like they let the army of MJ fans on tv to counter whatever Nancy Grace was saying. It’s not like any of the jokers on Twitter were doing anything more damaging than the South Park guys.

Just look at the way the last MJ doc was looked at. There were plenty of resources on social media to counter there claims and hurt their credibility.

Double plat on this is crazy

King of Pop slander is not permitted
Also KingofPop slander is not permitted (although it's always funny seeing him cook a thread)

I guess him dying did give people enough time to miss him though, I've noticed other than when Leaving Neverland (total hitpiece btw) that people generally have a much better opinion of him now than his last few years where he always the butt of jokes and the media did EVERYTHING they could to make him look like s***. The pedo accusations were just one part of it, I remember how f***ing nuts people went over him "dangling" his kid over a balcony
Dude couldn't take a s*** without it being spun to make him look like the worst person to ever exist which isn't all that surprising considering he was making enemies with the industry (ahem Sony) and openly spoke out about the elites

Disagree heavily with OP though. I don't think it did anything to save his legacy at all. I don't have a magic ball but I have the opposite opinion if MJ was alive today, He'd prob have a better reputation although he was in pretty rough shape by the time he died so for him to keep living he'd have to make some pretty drastic changes, dude was on a pretty extreme cocktail of d**** and had been for a while IIRC he started his pain med abuse after the pepsi commercial fire

MJ was about to make his big comeback tour, Watch "This is It" if you haven't seen it btw, Really good doc.
That tour sold out quick asf and was looking to be a huge success financially and for his image.
Really do wish he lived on though, One of the greatest performers ever, It makes me really sad how he got treated, I don't think he was perfect or anything like bro why did you have to get so much plastic surgery but there were and still are SO MANY MISCONCEPTIONS about him, I mean people still believe dude bleached his skin to look white and that he didn't actually have vitiligo.
Also I'm on the side of opinion where he wasn't a pedophile just a bit of a weirdo which isn't surprising at all given his upbringing and megastar lifestyle, I mean, if he was a predator like some claim, he would have def been smashing Corey Feldman who to this day says MJ was one of the few adults who didn't abuse him

What a sick thread

You imbeciles need to get your pop culture brains bleached and just appreciate art for what it is

"dying was good because how people perceived him" why are you even breathing if that's what your brain produces

I'm with you on this one

That’s his gimmick.

He thinks he better than everyone else

It’s pretty sad actually

Shut up dweeb

Leaving Neverland was quite arguably their best ever shot. He wasn't here to defend himself. You can't get sued for defaming the dead.

They could, and did, publicise everything they possibly could. Gave it awards, promoted the living s*** out of it.

They even put them on the front cover of magazines like they were a boyband and released a soundtrack.

I think the MJ fans intense fight to promote facts, and discovering things like the Train Station not being built at the time abuse was claimed went a very long way. People could see that it wasn't as they were told.

In 2005, people were convinced MJ was going to be convicted. Nancy disGrace said she would eat crow if he was acquitted. People had no idea what really went down every day in court because the transcripts weren't readily available like they would be now.

The accusers were laughed out of court - most of the verdicts decided very quickly into deliberation.

Lmfao. Looks like a legit card.

Michael Jackson fans are scum tbh, it’s a good way to wade out the pedos, if they support MJ then you’re basically supporting the poster guy for peadophilia, the most famous, richest peadophile that ever lived, and your reason is ‘I WAN DANCE TO IT HUR DURRRRR”

At the end of the day, you wouldn’t let your child sleep in a bed with Michael Jackson for one hour nevermind 30 days in a row. He touched those kids on one of those nights. If you WOULD let your child sleep with MJ, then you shouldn’t have kids.

And sorry not sorry, but a grown ass man in his 30s/40s sleeping with kids, is heavily leaning into his pedo than it is ‘overgrown child’ and there is no grown man alive I would make a case for sleeping in bed with children that aren’t his. There’s no reason other than sexual for a grown man. MJ was not disabled or anything abused yes disabled no, he knew what he was doing

Just imagine for a second.

Eminem, the biggest most famous artist since MJ, starts sleeping with 10 year old boys in his bed for months straight, and his fans start claiming well Marshall’s mom abused him when he was younger so he is just living out his long gone childhood. You’d put me in f***ing cuffs and on the register for even defending it.

Taylor swift starts sleeping with little kids from her shows for months straight. Switches out kids every month. Says it’s because her mom abused her to play guitar and sing when she was younger so she wants to be a child again in her 30s.

Only MJ gets this special treatment.
