Can't believe anyone still defends Jacko. And people don't just defend him, they ATTACK anyone who criticises him. They're kooky Obviously Jacko was true artist but like many artists he was very flawed (to put it mildly) He was a very, very creepy, abnormal individual Owned rare, coveted NAMBLA-associated arty child porn books Got a beard (Presley) right when the accusations came out Showed porn to the boys (their finger prints were found on his porno mags) and gave them alcohol, openly admitted to sleeping in bed with them Showed them scary movies like the Exorcist so that they were creeped out and more willing to sleep in bed with him Tried to pacify the parents of the children once they started asking questions by buying them Cartier watches and other luxuries Anyone who tries to argue he wasn't a paedo is absolutely deluded Acquittal does not equal innocence I never cared that much about the topic but seeing the hate that comes from talking about him and his abuse has radicalised me a little, especially considering everyone gets hysterical when talking about other alleged abusers Another common response is "he's dead, let the poor man rest in peace" By that logic, no one should be making any hagiographic biopics about him either
