Do you think that outsiders (non-fans) think of the fan community of Michael Jackson as a cult?
Anyone who is outside of any fan group will think that fan group is cultish.. Ask a random MJ fan what he/she thinks of the LMP fans or the Justin Timberlake fans. Ask a random Prince fan what he/she thinks of a Madonna fan group. You'll hear the same old "OMG they are such a cult" response.
:clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping::clapping: I just hate the fan bashing. I think we will become a cult when others start telling us how to behave. That is what cults do, they tell people how to behave. Let people do what they wanna do.oh poo, yall. this is a far cry from 'dwindling fan base'..which the media wanted so badly to be true just a few years ago.
i'm not goin around condemning fans because they don't have a pat answer for reporters' questions. my life doesn't revolve around what kind of answer a fan gives to a reporter. it's not going to devalue the quality of my life. the media is reaching for a reason to hate MJ...so..the fan that says..cus he's a genius he wouldn't molest..is no big deal to me. so what if they say that. if you give a genius answer to a question, the media can still spin it to sound bad if they want. when MJ said he was not God..the media spun it and quoted in his place that he said he was God. so..it doesn't matter. the reality is...we and MJ got under the media's skin, because it was proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that MJ is a true sucess story. case closed. i'm glad he has a fanbase..and i aint complainin about it.
yes i think they do.
I totally agree. I also would turn it around and ask these people what proof do you have that he is guilty. When they bring up the settlement, I really go after them and tell how would a family accept money if their child was really abuse and then later try to sue MIchael again for money. And I shut them down. Most of the people I know do not believe none of the claims but the few people I have come in contact with often are relieved to hear my points and think Michael was innocent but just did not know, so when I break now the "facts" these people see the truth.this thread got me thinking all over again about some really dumb MJ fans.. lol!!
Over the crazyness what bugs me more (I think :mello is when reporters ask them why they think he's innocent and say NOTHING smart.. It's like I WOULD LOVE THAT CHANCE.. But they just blurt out stuff like.
"Because I just know it in my heart." OR "No one that is genius enough to make his music would be a molester."
I'm like??? Or when this fan said that he does not know if he's guilty or not but even if he is he should not go to jail because he's Michael Jackson..
TO ME that takes away every credibility in us fans that research and KNOW the facts..
You know those people sitting at home are thinking.. "OK this guy flew 30 thousand miles to sleep outside of the courthouse because he thinks he should be free even if he's guilty." Or to other fans, "they traveled, quite there job to support someone that have NO REAL FACTS on why he's innocent..
Man if I were interviewed, I would pull out of my head.. "Was Michael Jackson Framed?" article, 'Redemption', and all other facts I learned.. I would shut that reporter up...
And those damn little smirks the reporters got after dumb comments, actions, and answeres fans gave.. Then they say with the smirk.. "Over to you Connie".. Then the news reporters sitting at there desks make comments about how strange MJ fans are too..
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! lol!!
it's ok I'm calm see??
Exactly. I would aslo like to say that I supported every last one of MJ fans who went out to Santa Maria to support MJ. I do not care what you wore or what you did. You were there and the rest of the world stood up and took notice. I took notice too. I was proiud of every last one of you and this event shook up the entire world ans is gone down in hisory. Sneddon got the biggests scare in his life, so did the aviros and the media. I have no complaints. I have no complaints about any of MJ fans. There is no rules, do what you wanna, as long as you do not harm yourself or anyone else. That is my motto. Live and let live.Anyone who puts all fans in one basket is just being an idoit. ALL musicans have good/silly fans, mature/inmature fans, etc.
When it came to that trial, there was always going to be someone to say something. That DD chick was clearing a nut. She said Michael's fans were leaving him when the fan turn out was low; and when the fan turn was high, someone else wanted to make it look like fans were disrespecting the court and acting like it was a concert. So again, fans were going to made out to be "something" no matter what. Overall, I think many people who supported Michael agree with fans being there. Only haters and people who wanted Michael to look bad were the ones trying to find fault. I even remember Bill Oreilly calling fans in Las Vegas "pinheads" for supporting Michael when he arrived back from setting bail because he said fans do not not the truth. YET when Old Bill was accused of sexual assult, Bill THANKED HIS fans supporting him EVEN though HIS FANS did not know the truth (of course he settled out of court something in which he degraded Michael for doing and called Michael a "pervert" on November 19, 2003 when the guy from a magazine was defending/discussing Michael on his show. See how life is funny, Bill got accused that same year or the first part of 2004 and he tone himself down towards Michael).Exactly.

When we start to tell people how to behave, that is when we will become a cult, cause that is what cults do.unk:

sorry but accepting money and being greedy holds no weight b/c there are some parents who just don't care a bout their children's well being...just like the girl in the r kelly case...they got themoney and stayed mum.I totally agree. I also would turn it around and ask these people what proof do you have that he is guilty. When they bring up the settlement, I really go after them and tell how would a family accept money if their child was really abuse and then later try to sue MIchael again for money.
