I am a MJ fan and no i'm not brainwashed into thinking he was a pedophile. People think because you're a Michael Jackson fan that you see past the so called "horrible things" that people have said he has done. I really want people to understand what's really been going on for the past 30 years since these allegations first came out. You're looking at a man who was forced to grow up at the age of 5, constantly abused by a heartless father who only cared about money rather than his own children. He wasn't allowed to just be a kid and go on the playground to play or make friends (something we take for granted). Michael would always rehearse to sing and if he did one little thing wrong he would get beat for it. He has said in interviews multiple times that he was constantly made fun of by his father (which is the reason for the surgery) and if people also went back to his interviews why not observe his behavior, you can tell how uncomfortable he is when they ask those inappropriate questions they asked him. The moment this man started becoming bigger than Elvis Presley or the beatles the media turned on him and used his love for children against him. They said he wanted to turn white knowing damn well he had vitillago which is a skin disease that robs you of your pigmentation, they called him wacko Jacko which he despised and they still do it today even though he's been gone for over a decade. I believe its heartbreaking for what he endured in his life, no one should have to go through what he did and the fact that his first accusers back in 1993 Evan chandler a greedy, evil and disgusting human being commits suicide after a couple months when Michael passed should've been an eye opener and I personally believe it was out of guilt for what he put this poor man through over the years. Another fact I wanna lay out is if they really thought Michael did it why in the world would he have been allowed to have his children, I would think child services would've taken them away if they saw any wrongdoing. What about the real pedophiles who are never talked about like R Kelly, Woody Allen and Jeffery Jones does anyone ever talk about them or is it because you would rather jealously bash a man, who was beyond successful, who's talent can never be reached by these other so called artists and had a heart of gold. People are always jealous of the ones they can't reach so they try and bring them down and Michael Jackson is an example of that, the media has been brainwashing people for years and it shows but people would rather believe the lie rather than the truth and this isn't something that's gonna stop, it's something that's gonna go on for years to come and divide people.
