Anna;4287431 said:For goodness sake, as I've already said, the behaviour I'm talking about is all the close relationships with young boys and letting kids sleep in his room and his bed. Some of you keep talking about the details and why it wasn't dodgy. I know the details, I know it wasn't dodgy! That's not my point. My point is that it looks like paedophile behaviour to the rest of society and Michael knew this.
Michael is responsible for his own actions and choices and the results.

somewhereinthedark;4287474 said:Never ever worry about what haters think of Michael Jackson fans. Have you ever seen how Prince, Beyoncé, Janet, Elvis, Madonna and other artists’ fans react and defend them against negativity. The haters who call MJ fans crazy are deploying a tactic of reverse psychology. They THINK if they belittle MJ fans that they will shame or dissuade them from defending Michael. DON’T FALL FOR THAT WEAK PLOY. I have been going through that with haters for 30+ years. Guess what that little ploy of the haters has only made me stronger and MORE supportive . I don’t think that kind of thing has ever worked with fans my age. It seems to bother the newer and younger fans more.Nowever, MJfans are the BEST, MOST INTELLIGENT and AWARE fans in the world. Being a MJ fan is never boring and I wouldn’t trade that fandom for any other artist.

Well said. If it wasnt a bedroom it would have been anywhere as safchuck made up. Mj was accused when he wasnt even around (arvizos) so how do you protect yourself from that.
i miss michael
I miss MJ too
I didn't mean to divise us.
somewhereinthedark;4287469 said:For goodness sake, I don’t agree with your narrative. You CONTINUE to say things like “close relationships with young BOYS and letting kids sleep on his rom and bed”. That is the kind of thing that the media spews because of cretins like Dieam DEMONd.These are the LIES that are used to brainwash a guillible public. I just didn’t know fans would fall for that.
Why aren’t you adding the DETAILS and FACTS that would tear this manipulation down. The DETAILS contain the FACTS. The facts are that Michael has close relationships with GIRLS and BOYS and all of those children AND their PARENTS were welcomed into Michael’s suite. The bottomline is that REAL pedophiles would never have been as open as Michael was around children. Of course, some people have been manipulated by the media’s portrayal. Most REAL pedophiles are fathers, grandfathers, uncle, priest, coaches, next door neighbors and even mothers, aunts, etc. I have a friend who says she was molested at church when she was 5 years old by a WOMAN. These are the so-called “normal” people who are the REAL pedophiles
Therefore, I am not going to sit around and accept that narrative that the media and sadly some fans promote. Btw, some seem to think that when a fan passionately disagrees with that tabloid narrative that he/she is over reacting. That seems to only apply if you are a Michael Jackson fan. Other artist’s fans react the same way, and people accept it. FTR, I have always been passionate about justice and the falsely accused. It doesn’t matter if it’s Michael or anyone else. Right is right and wrong is wrong. I will not accept manipulations from fans or haters.
Let’s agree to disagree. That’s fine. You can still have your opinion and I will still have mine. Peace!!
It doesn't matter how much you try to bend it. 99% of the time someone who does what Michael did will turn out to be a paedophile. That is why he got screwed over, repeatedly. All the mental gymnastics in the world can't absolve a competent adult man of responsibility for his own behaviour.

SmoothGangsta;4287555 said:I think the point is that it was stupid of MJ to continue with this behaviour. Even after it already caused him problems once, doesn't really matter if he was doing anything wrong or not when it comes to how he was perceived, the perception is there for most people.
I agree but I think Anna is wrong with the 99% comment. Real pedos do not invite families, do interviews to do in their homes for CAMERAS to look around like he did with Oprah, etc. I would believe Dan Reed is a pedo and the people who degrade MJ. They give the image of what most pedos are and how they behave. And these families chase MJ to be around him, not the other way around.I think the point is that it was stupid of MJ to continue with this behaviour.

Don't be contrary with me. I'm talking generally, regarding his pattern of relationships with boys and letting kids sleep in his room, not every specific detail particular to Michael's life.ScreenOrigami;4287540 said:Interesting. Can we see a list of those (at least) 99 other people who “did what Michael did” and were found guilty? I’d love to look into their cases. I wasn’t aware there are so many others out there traveling the world with families they befriended and working their asses off to raise money for charity. Also interested in seeing all the other private amusement parks they built, and how they trained their staff to help children with disabilities enjoy the park. And all of this to hide their evil agenda.
We're not talking about the big picture, or all the details which the fans know. That's what you can't seem to grasp. We're talking about public perception based on their knowledge of Michael's known and admitted behaviour, which constitutes the facts in the most basic form. That behaviour enabled those leeches to come out with the fake allegations in the first place and make them seem instantly believable to the masses.ScreenOrigami;4287557 said:What is this “most people” that I hear so often based upon? I haven’t been a fan until recently, so I came to this whole situation pretty unbiased, and at no point during my research I felt that anything was suspicious about MJ, when the big picture is taken into consideration. It’s the way the media portrayed MJ that raised suspicion. And now imagine he had changed his way of life after the first accusation – I guarantee the media would have interpreted it as admission of guilt, just like they interpreted the settlement as such. They would have kept portraying him as an abuser, no matter what. Classic catch-22 situation.
I mean, he did change after the trial. And it didn’t help with the whole situation at all.
Yes, this is exactly my point. ****ing hell.SmoothGangsta;4287555 said:I think the point is that it was stupid of MJ to continue with this behaviour.

ScreenOrigami;4287572 said:This is straight from the tabloids and does not in any way portray the actual circumstances. I’m surprised we’re even having this conversation here. Didn’t expect this when I came here a few months ago, as this whole thing is so easy to see through.
Anna;4287573 said:Michael had close friendships with many boys. That is a fact, not tabloid gossip. These people have names and everything.
ScreenOrigami;4287574 said:Involved in these friendships were whole families, not only “the boys”. This is all very well documented in the 2005 trial transcripts.
