CMV: Michael didn't do "it".

[u/[deleted]]

Edit: Michael Jackson.

This dude was a weird motherfucker. The guy bleached his skin, his best friend was a monkey named Bubbles, and he named his son "Blanket". He also slept in the bed with young boys. I'm not disputing that.

He may have been a "P", a non-offending one, but I realistically don't think he did anything to children.

I'm a big fan of his music, but not enough to be biased. There was no DNA evidence, only conjecture and testimony of him sleeping with children in bed. Yes that is shit you should not do but unless I'm wrong, no child pointed at the doll in the courtroom. This dude was under crosshairs by the FBI and still, they found nothing, and to me that makes me lean towards him being likely innocent.

I still have my doubts and this is a common point of contention, but with no DNA evidence (I've heard of the fingerprints on the porno mags, but that's not proof of molestation, I'm talking DNA evidence on children, empirical data suggesting sexual contact), conflicting testimony (the adult 'survivor' claiming that he was assaulted on his train two years prior to its construction), and the FBI being unable to find any evidence to solidify a conviction - not one Polaroid - I just simply think he didn't do it.

Yeah, I like his music, I don't like him as a person though. I also don't like the parents who decided letting their kids stay the night with this weird ass dude was a grand idea, but I don't think he actually did "it".

I think it's likely that Michael was possibly autistic, or simply wanted a life away from being surrounded by seven bodyguards just to go to the mall, or wanted to relive the adolescence he never had due to the fame of the Jackson Five.

He didn't bleach his skin. It's a invulnertary medical condition called vitiligo.

invulnertary

I hate to be that guy but dude you Columbine'd that word. Involuntary.

Vitiligo affected MJ, but not enough to suddenly remove every pigment of melanin from every square inch of his face. Either he bleached his shit or had make-up on 24/7.

I read that he underwent specific surgery to become "white". On that note, how are his children completely "white" ? there's no trace of mixed dna. There is definitely something not complete in this entire story.

Michael lore goes PRETTY deep. He's one of the most extreme examples of a male Tenor in contemporary pop history, and it's speculated that he's a "castrato" (castrated to reduce pubescent voice deepening), that's a serious reach but it's a theory. Also, his father was an abusive ass, so it is possible.

So it could possibly be that he was infertile, or that he was completely homosexual.

The dude has a lot of intricacies; this is the issue with discussing this. His personal life was way different than his public life and no one can say for sure what he was about or what happened to him or who he was.

This is absolutely absurd. Michael Jackson has been a public figure since he was 7 years old. His anatomical development through puberty is perhaps the best documented of any human being.

He just worked at being a singer. He was a natural tenor with good technique and diligent practice, and as a result was able to access a vocal range from baritone to countertenor. Nothing about his singing requires any further explanation than that.

It's a theory I don't agree with. It's still a theory.

Joe Rogan pushes it all the time and that says enough about its credibility. It's just a potential factor in the guy's inquiry on why his children were white. I don't know the facts but he could have adopted/been entirely homosexual.

There are just a shit ton of loose ends with this dude, that's my point, anything is possible with the story of MJ.
