Oh snl. Interestingly, that mj musical joke didn't seem to land. Prooobably because it's a hit musical for a REASON. The mj jokes are tiiired, when will they learn? The rest of weekend update was wild π«£
@Brandon79820219 @WilliamPenned @yeetmefam0000@AeroCat11 (Apparently, I have to use synonyms because the actual words heteronormative and cisgender are too offensive for folks)
@Brandon79820219 @WilliamPenned @yeetmefam0000@AeroCat11 So "radical" means allowing age-appropriate literature about those identities to be available in high schools? Even though there are plenty just like it about straight/non-gender queer people? Even though straight/non-gender queer literature will inevitably still be a majority?
@Brandon79820219 @WilliamPenned @yeetmefam0000@AeroCat11 So because there's a majority, it must mean the minority isn't valid/doesn't exist? They shouldn't be represented or included? Is that what you're saying?
@Brandon79820219@yeetmefam0000@AeroCat11 So if a teen that identifies as gender queer wanted to read a book about gender queerness- just like straight, cisgender, heteronormative teens can easily find books about heteronormative ways of being - you would have no problem with it. Because you can just ignore it. Right?
@BeachBubbles1 @SteveMc41030997@Amina110979@RaspberryR3d@Reckoner27k Did you listen to the defense testimony as well? Did you read the documents that discredit the ones you chose to listen to? Did you look into the history of extortion from those who testified? Don't talk about testimony evidence unless you can do so fairly
@BeachBubbles1 @SteveMc41030997@Amina110979@RaspberryR3d@Reckoner27k You state an opinion like it's fact. MJ has been investigated multiple times. No shred of evidence proves your opinion. Plenty of evidence proves that people have lied about him. You saying MJ molested countless boys is about as credible as me saying you have done the same. π€·ββοΈ
@Amina110979@SteveMc41030997@RaspberryR3d@Reckoner27k True. But if this guy is trying to be the "bigger man" like he claims, surely he'd be open to accepting other points of view on this and stop calling anyone who disagrees with him pedo supporters π
@SteveMc41030997@RaspberryR3d@Amina110979@Reckoner27k Which is why mj did it as a kid. That's how he grew up. An adult mentor of his admitted as such - that he shared a bed with young mj. It happens more often than you think and that doesn't mean anything inappropriate went down.
@SteveMc41030997@RaspberryR3d@Amina110979@Reckoner27k I remember there was a thread on Twitter (nah I'm not gonna try to find it, it was too long ago) of people from various countries who admitted they shared bed with ppl unrelated to them - neighbors, friends. No abuse went down. Ppl do it when there's no other space to sleep
@SteveMc41030997@RebsTweet@RaspberryR3d@Amina110979@Reckoner27k Then look into the other side. Look into the actual racism in the music industry. Look into the racist history of those who persecuted MJ. Read about how racism plays into the court of public opinion, especially media coverage in the 80s/90s. These are all factors.
@SteveMc41030997@RaspberryR3d@Amina110979@Reckoner27k You are calling ppl who support an artist who has been investigated and found not guilty pedo enthusiasts or worse. You don't think that hurts? I'm not saying you're racist or that it's right to call you one. But ppl are passionate bc folks haven't listened for *decades*
@RebsTweet@SteveMc41030997@RaspberryR3d@Amina110979@Reckoner27k Definitely missed the point. Steve, you can point out mjs weird and strange behavior all day and watch that insane doc twice, claiming to not understand the support mj still gets, but never is that same energy applied to *other* weird and strange behavior by the white favs.
@SteveMc41030997@RaspberryR3d@Amina110979@Reckoner27k That was years after these allegations came out and PLENTY of celebrities have done weirder and wilder things and werent deemed a criminal for the rest of their lives, even after being thoroughly investigated.
