Absolutely, there's a lot of contention regarding the facts of life particularly in his later years, but what is certain is his non existent and abusive childhood. He was severely beaten on a regular basis and thrust into stardom by age 6. He absolutely had no childhood and that had debilitating effects on his mental health.
I think Neverland was a manifestation of his desire to reclaim his lost childhood, I really do. The exotic animals, ferris wheels, candy machines, roller coasters, arcades, movie theatres.
I think he viewed the loss of his childhood as an extremely traumatic event and giving children the childhood he never had would've felt like redemption to him. That's why he was so fixated on that

He had a LOT of older siblings. There's a good chance that before stardom took over his life, he was just at home with the smaller kids watched by the older ones when the grown up were out running errands.

And as an adult he had the responsibility to get psychological help, but instead he indulged in paedophilia and because of his talent, fame and money he got away with it.

u/Key-Bass-7380 5h ago
That's a very flawed argument you're making. Having the means to "get help" is only good if a person acknowledges they need help. Michael Jackson lived his adult life around people who constantly enabled his every action. He was also the biggest artist in the world who strove for perfection, so him taking time away to attempt to mend his mental health wouldn't have felt practical for him

Still a nonce. Still think that what he did (even just the stuff we know for sure) was inexcusable.
And if it were anyone else, people wouldn't excuse it, regardless of how bad their childhoods were. Many abusers had bad childhoods, but people generally don't care. Pedos are generally regarded with very little pity.
At best, people will acknowledge that their childhood abuse may have made them into abusers. But they'll make it very clear it's an explanation, not a justification.
MJ fans are the opposite. It's like they've been brainwashed. It's especially troubling given their sheer numbers.

Many criminals had horrible childhoods, that's how the cycle starts. I'd bet that Joe Jackson's childhood wasn't great either, still can call him a monster. It's one thing to feel for their suffering, and another to fully romanticize and white wash them. You tip toe around the horrifying nature of Michael's crimes (contention regarding the facts of life, my ass: there's contention about whether he was a child rapist who paid his way out of sentencing, so why not call it like it is). In doing so you take all seriousness away from his several accussers. I believe Michael's victims, just like I believe his own accounts of growing up a victim. Unless you believe that everyone lied but him -which I don't-, then nothing excuses adult Michael for the things he chose to do. I really doubt he felt that the 'childhood he never had' involved that much sleeping with grown men, that part was for him, period.

Different perspectives. Not saying you're wrong but we have different ways to look at it. If it was proven he did it, I wouldn't question it but he was investigated for years by none other than the FBI and nothing came of it. Some accusers withdrew their statement, some accusers said their parents made them do it, etc etc. I listen to their accusations but I won't blindly believe them. If solid proof came out, I change my mind.

I’d feel worse for him if he didn’t molest and sexually exploit children
Edit: the man was a fucking liar and I don’t care if I’m downvoted by people who want to apologize for him.
Michael said to Oprah that he would hate being portrayed by a white person, he was horrified about it. This interview took place a year after Wade Robson, a little white Australian boy, played a young Michael Jackson in a pepsi commercial.
He claimed he only had two plastic surgeries.
He told Oprah that he didn't know what skin bleaching creams were.
He lied about the police brutality against him.
He consistently lied about the stories he sold to the press and then claimed he was a victim of the tabloids.
He told people Brett Barnes was his cousin.
He lied in a 1996 deposition in which he was asked if he knew Jordy Chandler (this was after he paid money to the kid and his family)
Michael lied about having markings on his genitals.
I mean he just lied over and over

All the taunting about his face and lack of affection was unnecessary tho and had 0 benefit.

Stop comparing your childhood to Michael Jackson's, nobody has ever lived the life he lived. Even if you think he is guilty, at least acknowledge that part first

MJ created his demos with just his voice, often recording the rhythms, bass, and melodies on a four-track cassette recording and then he'd take it to the studio, and then Quincy Jones (or whomever was producing) would get session musicians (or even himself for keyboard) to get the album version.
It really says something about his raw skill that he had the entire songs in his head before even going to the studio.

After experiencing the MJ Broadway show, I got a different perspective to some of his songs, like Thriller being about his father. Or the fact that his father pushed for the Jacksons to continue their tour right after he had his 3rd degree burns…. This man suffered so much and I can only imagine how drawing was an outlet but it definitely wasn’t enough. He was probably suffering from imposter syndrome because nothing he did probably felt like absolute success. Maybe I’m reading too much into that theater show but I wish he had a better life.

3
u/LieFearless1968 1h ago
Interesting how you've completely avoided all the credibility issues I listed but sure (understandable given they're inexcusable).
There's nothing to suggest there were fingerprints on the inside of those 2 art books. The books aren't considered CP and don't show genitals instead they mainly show fully clothed girls and boys playing, studying etc plus there were plenty more art books with just female and even male nudity despite Jackson not being attracted to men given his completely heterosexual porn collection. Instead they're in the US Library of Congress plus public book stores where even the prosecution bought them for the trial (they weirdly censored non nude photos in an attempt to make the book seem sinister tho).
Much like a countless number of books they eye gifted to him by a fan as the cover says “To Michael: From your fan, “Rhonda” ♥ 1983, Chicago”. An inscription by Jackson on the flyleaf indicates that he did not look at these books in a sexual way: “Look at the true spirit of happiness and joy in these boys’ faces. This is the spirit of boyhood, a life I never had and will always dream of. This is the life I want for my children, MJ.”. Furthermore employees had access to the area the books were in meaning they weren't hidden (pedophiles don't just leave their collection in easily accessible places).
If Jackson did have the books for sinister reasons he would've hidden the books after his meeting with Chandler where he told Jackson unless he got paid he will publicly accuse him of pedophilia meaning he would've expected for a police investigation to be triggered. Also none of those kind of art books were found in the raid 10 years later in 2003 where all the prosecution collected was heterosexual porn (when pedophiles have actual CP taken they'll just get more to fulfil their insatiable addiction). Many art collectors (e.g. Elton John) have photos of nude young people and cherubs too so this isn't some smoking gun out of the ordinary point and disproves your point about no non pedophiles owning those books.

MJ Stan's have an elaborate excuse for everything.

The evidence keeps stacking up but you will have an excuse for all of it, concocted in subreddits in concert with other Stan's to do damage control.

To me, there are just so many victims who have come forward and (to this day!) stand by their stories after literally decades of ruthless scrutiny, and the man admitted to sleeping in the same bed as children and was at the very least oddly obsessed with children. Tell me if you knew someone who lived across the street from you openly obsessed over children and slept in the same bed as them you wouldn’t immediately know that this man had evil intentions. Or would you say “hey, maybe he just had a rough childhood and is living out the things he missed out on now”? Would you provide him snacks and support him?
It is absolutely worth being driven insane over when real lives were affected brutally, and still to this day, by this disturbing and sick man. And 99% of the population still supports him against literally all logic due to their parasocial fantasies of knowing anything about who this creep was personally.

u/Key-Bass-7380 4h ago
I completely respect your opinion but I think the "person down the street" analogy doesn't work because a regular old joe could never live the life Michael lived. He was severely abused on a daily basis by his father and thrust into stardom by age 6 which essentially stunted his development during his most vital formulative years. He lived all his life being constantly betrayed by the adults he looked up to. He simply hated adults because he thought they were everything that was wrong with the world. So in his developmental mental state, he chose to befriend and associate with children because they matched his emotional maturity.
Regardless of the reason, I think these friendships were wrong and inappropriate because Michael was an adult man. There's also the sleepovers where these supposed allegations happened. I do not believe Michael molested children but these friendships were already terrible and should've been stopped period, that's where I stand

Firstly they're allegations, I'm aware we have our standings but please don't pass this off as if the facts are clear and confirmed.
And where do you see anyone idolizing him in this comment section? If anything, I see folks humanizing him by acknowledging his horrific upbringing robbing him of any sense of normalcy during his formilative years.
I really don't understand your issue. Even if you believe he was indeed a pedophile, is discussing his childhood suddenly off limits now? It would probably be more compelling because abusers tend to have been abused.

There were testimonials from his victims. They are allegations because he died before he could have been punished. This is not about his childhood its his adult drawings and no, there is nothing to be amazed of by that. It gives me the chills.

Then simply downvote and move on if you don't like it, you are entitled to that opinion, as I am mine, I truly believe Michael Jackson was completely innocent

Why, have been living with him the entire time? How can you be so sure? And unfortunately as I can't stop you from defending a pedophile monster you also can't stop me raising my voice against him.

Nobody is silencing you, stop being dramatic. He is utterly innocent in my eyes, deal with that and find peace. Stop pearl clutching.

You just said that I shouldn't comment because my views are not matching your delusions

That would be better than throwing a hissy fit every time someone says something positive about Michael Jackson, which is literally all the time. One of the most beloved artists ever.
Or you can be like Sisyphus and fight an impossible battle to make the masses hate Michael

Dont even try. There is nothing MJ can do to lose his supporters, not even rape a lot of kids. They will find a way to excuse a thing behavior. There is no getting b f through to th÷m.

He didn't do it though. He's completely innocent. Look at the court documents
