Are you one of those aggressive Michael Jackson apologists who viciously attacks anybody who doesn’t believe he was 100% “innocent” or choose to engage in a Kremlin style misinformation campaign against his accusers?
If you are, then perhaps you should chill out for a few minutes and reflect on what you’re actually supporting.
Yes, I know it can be confusing to get a accurate picture of Michael Jackson, especially when you get a group of people who said he did terrible things, and another group who say he was the sweetest man on this earth.
The truth is, Michael Jackson was neither the devil nor a saint.
He was, however, a deeply troubled man, a man who clearly had an unhealthy interest in young boys. That unhealthy interest was so intense that he chose to spend hundreds (if not thousands) of nights behind closed doors with young boys, and still did it even after being accused of child molestation.
Now, of course, your pro Jackson sites will try to paint a very different picture. A picture that Jackson was a special case, a man who had no childhood and therefore was doing nothing more than reliving what he never had.
If that was the case, then ask yourself where are the other men and women who do the same as Jackson, and entice young children into their private quarters and bed for “innocent” sleepovers?
I won’t deny that Jackson’s upbringing and abusive father had a negative effect on his life, but most criminals whether they are serial killers or child molesters come from bad backgrounds.
Your probably not that interested or eager to learn about paedophile characteristics, but it should be your first port of call before you make any decision on Jackson.
I’m not going to go into any details about the allegations of child molestation against Jackson or any of the counterarguments. What I want to impress on you here is whether you are actually prepared to support the behaviour of unrelated man/boy sleepovers if it involved anybody else.
Let’s say, for example, your around 40 years old. You have a couple of young children that are aged between 7 and 12. Would you post an advert on Gumtree or Craigslist offering your children to fully grown adult men or women, who had bad childhoods, days, weeks, months or even years of one-on-one access to your children so they could relive a childhood they never had, just like Jackson?
If your answer is no then I’m asking you why? After all, you feel universally comfortable that Jackson did it, so why not a complete stranger and your own kids?
Okay, how about this. Would you wear a T-shirt that said “I openly support unrelated man/boy sleepovers” to your place of work or outside the school gates with other parents as you wait to pick up your child?
If your answer is again no, then why? Aren’t you the world’s biggest hypocrite in saying it’s okay for a famous celebrity to entice young boys into his private quarters for “innocent” one-on-one sleepovers, but definitely not okay under any other circumstances.
Yes, I know. Fansites will tell you that Jackson was an international pop star, and we should all universally believe in his innocent Peter Pan persona. But, the truth is, neither you or I personally knew Jackson, and some of those who knew him best of all, have accused him of child molestation and rape. If you need any proof that Jackson lived a very different and troubled life, then look at the final months of his life where he played Russian roulette with propofol until his luck finally ran out.
If you’re a MJ apologist, and you’re reading this I don’t, for the record, necessarily think you’re a bad person. I think many of you are victims of small minority of deeply troubled and malicious individuals who will pump out an aggressive misinformation campaign against Jackson’s accusers, and get you to regurgitate their dirty work.
Just remember, there may be a point in your life when you need to support somebody who’s been sexually abused by a man or a woman who displayed all the same characteristics as Jackson. Would you be so coldhearted and subject that person to the same morally bankrupt tactics that so many Jackson apologists use towards his accusers?
If you don’t believe in unrelated man/boy sleepovers, then think twice before you condemn Jackson’s accusers or doubters. If you want to support such behaviour, then carry on and I’m sure you’ll get lots of kisses and hugs from paedophile organisations such as NAMBLA.
