Why does Twitter worship Michael Jackson so much?

I just can’t stop loving you 😩

Twitter's not a monolith, tons of people there (including me) have criticized him

A lot of the worship is coming from teens and young adults who didn't live through the child molestation scandals

R2 “ A lot of the worship is coming from teens and young adults who didn't live through the child molestation scandals”

Which is crazy to me because Gen Z is quick to call out other celebrities for being predators/groomers/creeps/etc.

German fraus. Not kidding. They're fucking crazy about Michael Jackson.

Take heart, OP, Twitter has an overblown profile in America and the first world. Just remember, 80% of the human beings on this planet don't have Twitter, have never seen Twitter and it has no influence on their lives whatsoever.

It's useful to bear this in mind whenever you happen to come across some dumb as shit thing from Twitter.

especially since he confessed in song:

I want to love you pretty young thing

Pretty young? He wasn’t kidding!

He was. I loved him so much. I’m do lucky that I grew up listening to his music at the height of his career.

Couldn’t stand him then & especially can stand him now. I’m appalled he’s still on the radio. Much less Broadway.

r7, he's dead.

I’m so sick of reading about Michael Jackson. There’s so much propaganda posts about him on Reddit and how he totally didn’t abuse children.

OP, why are you even on Twitter? It's a fucking shitshow.

Leaving aside the pedo stuff he peaked at 12. While he was always a great performer, his solo stuff is overrated and doesn't hold up IMO. When I listen to my favorite 80s pop and R&B he's not even on the list. Give me the Gap Band, Prince and Electro for starters.

Ignore the unfunny Bill Cosby bits - this special shows the Five at their best.

I don't Twitter.

Yet somehow, my life is still complete.

Deplorables thrive on Twitter these days. They know he was a pedo, so they create these posts to trigger the libs who are still on Twitter.

Anyone who isn't in a massive state of denial has left his fandom.

I’m Glad he’s dead . He can’t hurt anymore children

Because he’s a fucking legend!

You'd have to be deaf dumb and blind not to see what he did.

It shouldn't surprise me to see how celebrated some of the worst people are, but it still does.

[...]

A lot of people like freaks.

R17, exactly! It’s deranged hero Worship

Gen Z and millennials worship MJ's pedo ass. I've noticed that if you call him out on twitter, you get lots of hate from the woke crowd, yet white celebs who date younger girls (not children) like Leo di Caprio are called out by this same crowd all the time.

Even on here there are morons who will defend him relentlessly - that one called the Train Station Troll, for instance.

Because he was black............and white.

Chinese propaganda.

OP, if you are tired of him being worshipped on twitter, why do you need to start ANOTHER thread about him here? And why are people here talking about him like he's still alive? He's dead you idiots. You all sound fucking senile.

OP seems to think that saying something is proof its' true.

Dolt.

I read this and thought you were talking about Sondheim.

R25 He’s physically dead but he’s very much still present in the culture. He has a successful Broadway musical and will be getting a biopic soon.

R21 That’s what I don’t understand. They call Leo a predator on there all the time because he dates women under 25 but are perfectly fine with MJ’s close friendships and sleepovers with young boys?

r28 his work is still present in pop culture and his estate is has authorized a biopic. *HE* does not have anything, he's DEAD. Get a grip.

R30 He’s dead but his alleged victims aren’t.

MJ’s estate and die hard fans have successfully smeared his accusers all over the internet. This is one of the few spaces on the internet that believes MJ is guilty.

Reddit straight up removes posts that insinuates MJ’s guilt, like this one.

How MJ isn’t canceled makes no sense.

So many people today have zero critical thinking skills.

It’s like they’re not even human. Just spoon fed BS zombies.

It's the OJ Simpson Syndrome. If Jacko had been white he'd have been reviled and abandoned way back in the 90s.

I despise Michael Jackson fans online so much. Fuck them.

I wish more people challenged get the BS they post on Twitter, Reddit, etc.

Truly the nastiest and most delusional fanbase.

The MJ fans on LSA are by far the worst.

FUCK MICHAEL JACKSON AND HIS FANS

I HATE THOSE ASSHOLES

What did Michael do to Bubbles? You know he did something to that poor ape.

Because his music is fantastic, OP, and he was an amazing dancer.

His music was good in the 80s and never again. Gross pedo with pedo apologist fans.

They always give breaks to white men, OP.

[quote] I’m appalled he’s still on the radio

Oh, do shut up, Mary!

R46 shut up pedo apologist

Shut your whore mouth, R47.

Disgusting drug addicted pedo and his cult of followers are akin to anti vaxxer MAGA trolls.

R48 who touched you? You can tell me.

R50 Muriel

I finally joined Facebook during lockdown. I’m not on it everyday, have no profile other than a made up name, and only use it to browse. For some reason a couple of months ago I started to receive loads of Whacko posts in my newsfeed. At first I just assumed that they were all from one group, but then realised there are dozens of these groups. They all have weird names like Kingdom Of Magic, most of the members seem to be black Africans, and god and religion features strongly.

They are all completely bat shit crazy, “you was too beautiful and pure for this world” “you had the innocence of a child that the corrupt world couldn’t understand”. Crap like this. All of the pics of Whacko are heavily filtered and photoshopped so he looks like a cartoon, instead of a ghoul. I sometimes reply to posts saying things like Michael licked young boys asses, that kind of stuff. They mostly reply by saying that that’s what my daddy did to me when I was young and I enjoyed it.

They are fucking weirdo’s, and mostly seem to be younger people. It really is quite scary.

Yes, Gen Z love Jacko especially black kids.
