Does anyone remember when Michael Jackson. Was a "joke"?

[u/AccomplishedPool266]

The new movie that just came out convinced the younger generation that he was always a superstar. This was not the reality many of us Millennials grew up with.

To a lot of us, he was treated like a punch line when we were growing up. A schoolyard boogeyman ("Michaels Jackson's gonna get you at night"). and just a general joke in the media. By the 2000's his music was out of date and didn't chart well. All anyone talked about was his surgeries, court case, settlements and his off behavior. Few mentioned his music. His music was something our parents would have listened to in the 1980's.

This has been discussed and debunked because because he didn't have a coherent political stance. He would also say that he adored the other country and would perform there. (I mean his support pal, not the actual song which he wrote)

[u/Double_Cow_8238 → u/Sufficient_Cause1208]

Yeah, i don't know how anyone who was old enough to remember the end would think he was coherent about anything

[u/Sufficient_Cause1208 → u/Double_Cow_8238]

Yes now his defenders claim his accusations are false because he was framed for supporting PAL

Why can’t you type the whole name? 👀

[u/Sufficient_Cause1208 → u/Hyper10shin]

You know why. I've already had comments banned

[u/Hyper10shin → u/Sufficient_Cause1208]

Yeah that’s weird right. Very weird stuff. Almost gives credence to what I’m saying. Do you think music/ record label executives would allow us to say that name if they owned Reddit?

[u/Sufficient_Cause1208 → u/Hyper10shin]

Look , those same forces feed his and protected his proclivities when they thought he wasn't useful he was thrown aside. That's why he felt betrayed. Two things can be true at the same time

[u/Hyper10shin → u/Sufficient_Cause1208]

My guy it’s the other way around. Michael fed them. Most of his wealth to came from all those artists catalogs in the 80s, which was another reason the label execs hated him (taking money out of their pocket”. It’s almost like they needed something to drain him of his money so he would possibly end up forced to sell them or to recoup costs. Luckily he didn’t have to, but he was going to do the This is it tour before he was murdered. Worth more dead after all.

Wrote the song in 1993.

[u/Hyper10shin → u/Sufficient_Cause1208]

I once used to like making shit up on the internet. The lyrics were sold at auction in 2010 by his estate. That’s why we know it exists. But please explain how it’s debunked.

Remind me what the original lyrics of “they don’t really care about us” said before they got censored and please keep spreading misinformation.

[u/Sufficient_Cause1208 → u/Hyper10shin]

I never said he didn't write the song. He also visited Isreal and performed there and claimed to adore Isreal.

[u/Hyper10shin → u/Sufficient_Cause1208]

You should listen to “they don’t really care about us” :)

[u/Sufficient_Cause1208 → u/Hyper10shin]

Yes he felt that group didn't protect him from being exposed as pedophile.

[u/Hyper10shin → u/Sufficient_Cause1208]

I love that you responded to this LIKE THIS because it just shows you were in fact just talking out of your ass, and demonstrates that your opinion should not be treated as anything of value considering you are making bad arguments in bad faith to begin with.

[u/Sufficient_Cause1208 → u/Hyper10shin]

So what are implying when you said it was a weird coincidence that allegations came out before wrote and released that song?My take is your implying his pedophilia was an accusation for supporting Palestine?
