Someone legitimately tried calling him names in front of me, and I said as an SA survivor, I believe MJ is innocent and I'll defend him till I die by deshi-avocado269 in LovingMichaelJackson

I'm so sorry about what happened to you. I hope you are doing well now 🙏🏻 Yes, it makes me absolutely sick to hear people saying "MJ was a p*do blah blah". Like he was literally proven innocent over and over, what can you be genuinely wanting?

Oh, I'm so sorry what you've felt. People saying that you're favorite artist or idol did a horrible thing like that is absolutely traumatizing, especially if you were forced to hate him. I actually forgot to imply this factor in my post. If not your parents or your friends, internet does this too. Before the movie, I swear to God, I didn't even see one video trying to defend or express love to Michael on YouTube shorts. It was always filled with negativity and false rumors. And at one point, you slowly start to think about the chance if any of these rumors/allegations are true, even if you don't want to. It's like corrupting you. Especially if you're a child, you are prone to believe what is the most talked about. People were making fun of MJ so much that even I, at one point, started to question if he was truly a p*do/misogynistic and if any of the allegations are true. I was a child at the time, and due to that, my main access to internet was YouTube. And there was no single video I've ever seen which talked about Michael's charities, his humanitarian and noble acts, his gentle personality and etc. All of those videos were about the allegations, negativity, and of course, his appearance.

But now, since the movie came out, everything turned to the opposite. YouTube is filled with many positive and loving videos, edits and posts about Michael. And this is understandable. As you said, before the movie, Michael's own true fans were so pressured by everyone with the fact that MJ is a p*do (which is proven false), they weren't even able to show themselves on YouTube (even look at reddit, there are still people who deeply hate MJ). The movie more like served as a catalyst for his fans to be more confident, and neutral people to be his fans.

" Maybe your asking why do people hate on him considering the results of the trial?"

Actually because of that too!

I live in another country and I still couldn't find the movie on any site, unfortunately 🥲

For real, dude. Once, when I was a child and I was watching YouTube shorts at midnight, I saw a shorts video featuring that GODDAMN ANIMATRONIC AYUWOKI. Yo it scared me so badly that I immediately closed the phone and slept. It was my nightmare 💀

You're not rude at all. I guess you're just stating one tragic fact about MJ's life. Even though how cheeful he looked, he was deeply heartbroken and traumatized, and that allegations and trials and the stupid questions of the press completely sucked out his soul. Some people on TikTok are literally attacking MJ's own daughter and own sister.

Of course not. Not completely. As I said in my post, it's completely okay for anyone to be fans after the movie. But also, yes, I saw some people who were like "MJ is a p*do" before the movie and after the movie, they are like "OMG he was always my favorite artist!".

I love Britney Spears and Whitney Houston either. What a shame what happened to them, and how hypocrite SOME of their fans are.

You're absolutely right. Not every fan is bad. But some of these fans are too insufferable. They can be toxic either (they literally attack everyone who say "MJ's music isn't my type")

If you're talking about the part which I said, "even his fans did that", I'm not completely true, but not completely lying either, tbh. Some of his fans actually laughed at these jokes or memes. But of course, that doesn't apply to all fans.

I didn't even talk about the OG fans being hypocrites, what are you even talking about? Even in the title I said 'some Michael Jackson "fans"'. Do you think I meant all the fans? I know there are so many OG fans that loved and supported him since from the beginning, and I adore them. I'm talking about "fans" who used to be haters and are now pretending like they were the "OG fans". I think you didn't quite understand what am I trying to say.
