The epistemology of Michael Jackson fans

[Monster Energy]

Many people think this video gives off a very strange feeling about their relationship.

To accept that this music was made by a child predator and deeply disturbed individual is too difficult for many people.

Bullseye.

Reasoning with music fans is like reasoning with religious fanatics.

@Hojo (cant get this tag off) 

@Monster Energy i think its quite telling in that video how he puts the blame on the kid, hes like 'the kids want to stay with me, what could i do?'. Any normal adult would know that there has to be boundaries, imagine on a school trip, a 10 year old kid said to their teacher 'i want to sleep in the bed with you' and the school teacher was like 'what could I do, they wanted to do it'. That would not fly anywhere. 

Separately I found this video really interesting from his ex-publicist who doesnt seem to have anything to gain financially from telling his story -

Michael is really not very good at defending himself, even though he thinks he is doing a good job.

 

I’m going to watch the video. Thanks.

I agree, but if there were a video of Jesus abusing children, many religious people probably still wouldn’t see anything wrong with it. On the other hand, if there were actual footage of Michael doing something like that, even some of his most devoted fans would stop worshipping him.

Well, Jesus did kill a child.

No one cares.
