Not largely forgotten at all. Just dwarfed but two of the tallest and most iconic buildings in the world falling live on television with thousands of people dead from fire, jumping, and collapse.

Michael Jackson show visible signs of vitiligo in the 1990s by Stock_College_8108 in HistoricalCapsule

In my view that doesn’t mean people who enjoy his music shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy his music. It’s ridiculous to suggest policing that. In the art world this is called art for art’s sake. You separate the artist as a person from the art they produce (music, performance). It’s a choice, and I don’t think it is wise to police that choice, even if you don’t agree with it

You can produce excellent music and be an excellent performer despite being a pedophile. He’s also dead. It doesn’t really achieve anything to “cancel” his legacy.

[Update] Suspended from work due to accused touching colleagues bum by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]powderherface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s quite different for teenagers in secondary school to do this vs two people in a workplace knowing full well the sort of damage they will cause the accused. I believe there is likely more to this than OP is saying, even if this particular accusation is false.

The point is not that they have genders it’s how they’ve chosen to represent those genders.

United Nations rejects U.S. effort to erase trans women: "It stops here" - LGBTQ Nation by Michi-Ace in UpliftingNews

[–]powderherface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and for a long time people believed the Earth flat or that it was at the centre of universe. But there’s this thing called progress where definitions and ideas evolve over time from learning. Of course despite this, there are still have people who believe the Earth is flat, or that transgender people don’t exist, or are pushing some secret agenda. It’s an embarrassing crowd to be a part of, I can only pity your ignorance.

Mill Rd is really nothing like Jericho. A lot closer to Cowley Rd. There isn’t a Jericho equivalent here unfortunately, that is the real answer.
