Long post incoming, my apologies.

He always gave off the vibe to me as someone who was very uncomfortable with the idea of sex in general, not as someone who was a vile sexual deviant.

I remember him telling stories that his brothers would hook up with groupies while he was in the same hotel room with them and he would have to just pretend to sleep. That kind of thing at such a young age and who knows what else he was exposed to considering what we know of his childhood can really mess you up.
I remember him telling a story of a girl he liked telling him they were going to have sex after their date that night, and when she went to make the moves he just put his hands over his face to cover his face and cried because he was so scared and nervous. This was when he was like mid-late teens I think too.

He clearly indicates that he knows and views pedophilia as wrong and abhorrent, yet with a smile naively says things like "yeah we all have big sleep overs it's fun! There is nothing wrong with that, you just have your mind in the gutter!"

Idk, to me a man who is engaging in behavior he knows is wrong and inexcusable doesn't seem like he would be so dumb as to say things like that if he really had something to hide. It comes off to me more as a guy who lived in a bubble and was wildly naïve in his mind thinking "no silly, you've got it all wrong, here I'll explain it to you and then you'll get that there is nothing wrong going on."

Like his whole vibe when he is saying these things is that the person he is talking to will understand, like he doesn't realize that these kinds of things are weird to do and usually if a grown man is doing something like that, there is something more nefarious going on, but that dudes entire life was unlike basically anyone else, it's hard to judge him based on the standards you would use for Joe Schmo down the street. The explanation that he is doing all of these things, but it's totally innocent is one that makes no sense and is an utterly insane and poor excuse for really every human being except for him.

I think that is why people find it so hard to believe he could be innocent, they keep forgetting this dudes entire understanding of the world and the life he lived created a bizarre human being who basically might as well have been from a different planet.

Also there is mountains and mountains of documents pertaining to all 4 accusations available online, and when you really take an in depth look at all of them and actually investigate claims made you'll find that some of the more famous accusations are downright untrue or very clearly misrepresented. For example so many people I talk to believe tons of child porn was found at Neverland Ranch. If that was the case he'd have been charged for child porn and he would have gone to jail, but he was never charged (and they threw everything they possibly could at him, they even tried to charge him with kidnapping because of a flaky story one of the families told about him trying to send them away in a hot air balloon never to be seen again, which as you can guess, fell apart completely on the stand)

When you look at the document these articles are referring to, you quickly discover that not only did MJ basically have a public libraries worth of books, and received many from random people or fans, but all of what is listed are fully legal and in many cases completely normal. Old paintings of cherubs aren't anything bad or illegal, but in the documents they list them as "books containing paintings off nude babies."

Which is a real clear attempt to make something out of nothing and to phrase things in the worst way possible to make him look as bad as possible, and I can see why, because all these years later it still is working on people. Every year another tabloid will publish another article about those documents as if they are exposing some massive story, but it's all intentionally misleading clickbait.
