I hate meeting people who were raised by cool parents. ohhh you grew up listening to your dad’s record collection. fuck you. I had to invent Lou Reed from first principles

@YehudaJFriedman@AfeefNess@mattxiv You are literally trying right now to harass this poster for posts not favorable to Israel. We can all see that, the hasbara doesn’t work any more
@KingGog10@MaggieDynamo@MatthewFerrari You're getting pretty heated. It seems like you can't decide whether having kids in his bedroom is "nothing" or if it's a real critique that needs to be defended against. "He wasn't criminally convicted" isn't the catch-all you seem to think it is.
@KingGog10@MaggieDynamo@MatthewFerrari Sorry, in today's era "hell yes" it's highly concerning behavior but it's also a "nothing burger" because you personally wouldn't have cared back then?
@KingGog10@MaggieDynamo@MatthewFerrari I'm a sad worthless pathetic piece of shit for saying that it's highly concerning for an adult celebrity to invite kids into his bedroom, and that it's an important part of MJ's legacy that shouldn't be ignored?
@KingGog10@MaggieDynamo@MatthewFerrari You still seem to be defending Jackson from the abuse claim instead of what I'm actually saying: a celebrity adult inviting children into his bed is highly inappropriate and is enough alone for him to be criticized, even vilified
@KingGog10@MaggieDynamo@MatthewFerrari Wade Robson, Brett Barnes, and Macauley Culkin all report sleeping in Jackson's bed. At a certain point “no conviction = nothing happened” starts looking like a need for Jackson to remain untouchable instead of engaging with his actual, documented behavior
@KingGog10@MaggieDynamo@MatthewFerrari He had sleepovers with children without their parents present. That's what he did and discussed publicly. You're either saying "yeah that's fine with me" or "hmm maybe this guy acted inappropriately"
@KingGog10@MaggieDynamo@MatthewFerrari I'm "accusing" him of sharing his bed/bedroom with children, something he discussed in public openly lol. You're just uncomfortable with confronting that you're happy to say "ehh that's okay with me, he wasn't convicted of anything"
@KingGog10@MatthewFerrari Acquitted of sharing his bed with young boys? Like, he doesn’t have to be a convicted criminal to rightfully be treated as a pariah
@KingGog10@MaggieDynamo@MatthewFerrari It’s inappropriate and concerning for a grown man to invite children over for sleepovers regardless of where in the room he sleeps: yes or no?
@KingGog10@MaggieDynamo@MatthewFerrari What evidence do I have for which claim? That Michael Jackson shared his bed with children? You seem to be confused about what exactly I’m talking about, I never mentioned Leaving Neverland OR any of MJ’s accusers to make my point.
@KingGog10@MaggieDynamo@MatthewFerrari You’re still talking about criminal conviction. I’m saying that the established facts of MJ’s interactions with children fit the pattern of grooming closely enough for most people to make their own judgement that he acted inappropriately. You don’t find it inappropriate, own it
@KingGog10@MaggieDynamo@MatthewFerrari There’s plenty of evidence that he behaved inappropriately with children. You’re just saying that you’re not bothered by it in the way that most people are
