I've seen a lot of discussion in various threads about Finding Neverland and wanted to be able to discuss it in depth without derailing. What did you think of it? Do you believe them? Do you think the movie will help educate people on the subject of child sexual abuse? What do you think of the parents?

I thought it was an amazing movie, despite being really difficult to sit through. I absolutely believe the victims 100% and I think a lot of people will learn from it if they're not Jacko stand who will just dismiss every word they say. It meant a lot to me because I was abused as a child in a very similar fashion (I was 7 with a 16 year old "boyfriend" who groomed me pretty much the exact same way- minus the celebrity element obviously). I also like how they discussed how in the case of celebrity abusers, the works is already groomed in a bizarre way and that's why you have people who will never believe the allegations no matter how much evidence.

I also found the response by the people in his life very telling. I was expecting his loved ones to dismiss it as all lies, but I was not expecting anyone to have the attitude of "well, his sexual needs were his sexual needs and they were happy to be there". I'm still trying to wrap my head around that statement.

As for the parents, I have a really hard time believing that throughout this entire thing, they didn't get some inkling of a red flag. I believe they were willfully turning a blind eye for the perks that came with being close to Jacko.

Thanks for making this thread anon, but the doc title is "Leaving Neverland"

No. 392335

There are tards all over the place talking about how it's all a pack of disgusting lies because both Wade and James say that they loved MJ, and are, weirdly, saying that the doc itself is promoting pedophilia. Or that the movie is making too much of a big deal about the fact that this was done to boys. Or that it wasn't factual enough. When people try to make a case against Dylan Farrow or Dr. Christine Blasey Ford by calling 'inconsistencies in their stories' into play, we are rightfully disgusted and tell pigs like that to fuck off. I don't care who these kids sued, are suing, would sue, want to sue, etc. The supposed holes in the story that would support MJ aren't even relevant half the time.

If Tarana Burke was in the audience for the Oprah interview, that's good enough for me.

I think these stans can safely die in all the fires, because the question still remains: why was a thirtysomething man sleeping with children who weren't his? Why did he continue to do it even after he was busted in the court of public opinion? Easiest answer is best answer. He was a pedophile.

If people don't understand how grooming pedophiles work; something I find hard to believe since we have a 'were you groomed as a child' thread right here on lc, maybe the stans should watch Chicken Hawk, which is a very good and very disgusting doc about how these predators think. It's always the kid's idea. The adult is, due to whatever circumstance, just a child at heart and means them no harm. MJ was doing nothing new or even particularly revolutionary when it came to fucking little boys. He was part of a long, gross tradition.

It's weird that such strides have been made w/r/t understanding the ways in which abusers get away with it, but when a celebrity enters the picture, all that knowledge flies right out the window and the asskissing starts. MJ and R. Kelly are guilty as sin. Deal with it.

I've said a variant of this on about ten different sites now and this will likely be the last posts I make about it anywhere, lol. MJ fans need to handle the fact that their idol raped children and either dismiss it and continue to listen to the music, or say 'hey, I can't accept that.' It's pretty simple.

I can't "this" enough. He was spending such a surplus time alone behind closed doors with these kids, sleeping in the same bed with them, even after the public started asking questions. Most guys I know (and hell even some girls) avoid being alone with kids outside their family like the plague because they don't even want the possibility that people will question if something's up. Why the hell would a full grown man continue such beyond red flag behavior when people already were suspecting he was abusing them unless he truly was?

No. 392373

Thinking more critically about it now, I feel there is way too much evidence pointing toward MJ's guilt especially now with this documentary. When I was just a dumb teen and didn't know any better, I fell hook, line, and sinker for the whole tragic "he was a child himself and didn't know any better" story that was passed around by his defenders. However, the fact that he had that "art photo" book of nude boys and other questionable things always bothered me. I was naive back then though and dismissed it as part of his eccentricity, probably just coincidental and just part of his collection of random, weird shit. I reasoned that what he owned wasn't technically illegal I guess and maybe the people who accused him just wanted money. I was around people who loved the shit out of his music and were convinced he was innocent which didn't help in being able to have clear judgment of the whole thing.

The documentary definitely did a good job in being able to make sense of all of MJ's eccentricities and highlighting how sinister the whole was. I definitely believe the victims. It all just makes too much sense.

The whole thing used to be on Youtube but I think it was taken down recently. When I went looking for it all I could find were people trying to discredit the victims with videos like "evidence of multiple interview takes" and "Safechuck and Robson vs. REAL abuse victims" which is pretty depressing. Imagine trying to actively discredit rape survivors just because you like some dead pedo's music.

It's amazing to me how people will stan this hard for someone just because they like his media content. I get the denial if it's someone you're really close to and genuinely can't see doing something like that, but for some person you don't know at all just because you like their music? Disgusting.

Honestly, I still listen to Jacko and enjoy his music. Yeah, I think he's a terrible person, but I can still enjoy the art he made. I learned a long time ago to separate the person from their art for this very reason. Just because someone's talented doesn't mean they can't be a monster.

I watched it a few days after it came out and can we just talk about the moms for a second? I get that being manipulated is one thing but both of the mother's talk about how they 'd get worried and then MJ would find a way to rationalize what he was doing. Aren't both Robson and Safechuck also not on good terms with their mothers because of how long they ignored the signs or trusted Michael over her own intuition?

In both cases, the mothers maintain a relationship with MJ despite the painfully obvious creepiness about him. The sleeping in the same bed thing, spending a suspicious amount of time alone with their sons, the relentless faxing back and forth, every time the moms had a suspicion it was always quelled by someone telling them not to worry. I know its hard to prove that anything is going on especially when the victims are still loyal to their abuser but I just feel really conflicted about how I should feel about the mothers, are they just bad parents? Were they just that well manipulated? I don't know how to feel about it

Bad parenting is definitely in the mix.

Yeah both the mothers in the documentary left a really bad taste in my mouth, especially when they talked about all the gifts mj gave them.

I'm honestly more mad at the parents than Michael Jackson tbh. Predators gonna prey, but parents are supposed to be protecting their children and it's so clear these people chose to turn a blind eye, despite it being so overwhelmingly obvious what was happening. all because they wanted the lifestyle they were getting in return for essentially whoring off their kids. Michael Jackson is a sick pedophile, but the idea of a parent letting this happen is even more upsetting to me than the crime itself.

Agreed, people pimping out their kids makes me angry…and it's surprisingly common.

Yeah watching the documentary I just got madder and madder at the parents. You let your kid sleep in the same bed with a 30-year old man, he's placing your hotel rooms further and further away from his and your son's and your only thought is "gee, that's weird"? These obsessive stage parents fucking knew what was happening, they pimped their children out in exchange for a luxury lifestyle.

I don't think anyone born after 1985 fully realizes what sort of a fucking worldwide GOD Michael Jackson was during his prime, I can fully accept that these naive kids felt absolutely privileged to "make him happy" as they put it in the documentary. And that's why their parents should've stepped in and put a stop to it. They didn't. And because of that their children are forever scarred. Over some money. God damn.

Michael had many many influences in regards to dancing. Even the moonwalk (which before MJ was called backslide) you can see videos of people doing it back into the 1920s

Also spats and cropped pants combo was not originated by Bob Fosse lol. It’s been done many times throughout the years. Pic attached is Fred Astaire who MJ many times credited as one of his biggest inspirations. Sammy Davis jr, James Brown, etc…

He drew moves from many dancers and they were in turn inspired by those that came before them. That’s not “stealing”.

Excuse my blogpost but I really needed to get it off my chest.
I've overheard coworkers talking about how Michael Jackson 'was literally a kid stuck in an adult's body', how he wanted to buy all the toys at a store, how he treated the boys as his age equal because he thought he was a kid…. and for that reason, was not a pedo for sure. They spoke about him like he was an just an autistic asexual manchild and
I just wanted to scream! I have small experience with a pedo and read a lot about how those fuckers work. I can't believe that people can be so unaware! Literally every pedo claims that he has a childlike soul, enjoys childish activities (or pretends to, to lure victims)… How can you be so blind? I myself collect toys, but that does not change the fact that I am an adult person and I can't imagine anyone claiming otherwise. 'Normies' (excuse me for using that word) can be so clueless sometimes…

Aaron Carter's intense defending of MJ is very odd to me after watching the Lou Pearlman doc and finding that he acted the same way. He vehemently denied the idea that Pearlman could have been a predator in a strangely childish way. I think, among his drug and ED problems, Carter has been sexually abused by both these people but can't come to terms with it. His denial is so much stronger than anyone else's, even in the face of so many accusations, that it feels like he's trying to protect his psyche.
