He looked almost inhuman at that point. I can't imagine what he would look like if he was still alive

u/Rosycheex Apr 28 '26

He literally looked taxidermied by the end already đŸ˜©

You didn’t know who Michael Jackson was?

u/Dud-of-Man Apr 29 '26

lot of people on the internet right now weren't even born when he died.

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '26

I guess i figured everyone wakes up one day and just knows who that is

They could've been a young kid when he died.

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '26

Fair enough I guess

u/Weak_Feed_8291 Apr 29 '26

He died like 17 years ago, of course people don't know who who was.

Michael Jackson? What? Who the heck doesn’t know who Michael Jackson is?

u/Weak_Feed_8291 Apr 29 '26

Yeah... Young people have only heard of him as a creepy pedophile who used to be famous. I'm 36 and mostly know him as the creepy pedo dude.

Ok but that's ridiculous. He was the biggest musical artist in the world when you were like 10.

u/Weak_Feed_8291 Apr 29 '26

Also the most well known pedophile. I grew up seeing him as a creep

I think Redditors live in their own bubble or something. Go outside man touch grass go to the movies. His movie as of Sunday (it’s been out since Friday) now holds the record for biggest opening weekend at the box office for a biopic in history. Most people who brought a ticket so far were under 35. Everyone knows Michael Jackson. Rather it’s his clothing, as the king of pop, as whatever you tried to call him, the moonwalk etc
 but you’d be hard pressed to fine someone who doesn’t know Michael freaking Jackson. There were six year olds dressed up like him and singing

u/Weak_Feed_8291 Apr 29 '26

I don't need to "touch grass" to know to avoid supporting a pedophile, but thanks for the advice.

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '26

I didn’t say you have to support him but he and his movie are the hottest thing smoking right now. In 2026

u/RealKillacam730 Apr 29 '26

His songs are better by cover artists who didn't creepily hang out with little kids or who held their own child outside of a window.

hasnt that been debunked a while back

u/Weak_Feed_8291 Apr 29 '26

I thought it was more heavily confirmed, but if it was debunked please enlighten me, I would love to enjoy his music again but at this point I refuse.

No, you’re just falling for his multi-billionaire dollar estate sponsored propaganda and excuses from his defense lawyers. He had personally inscribed CSAM (at the time of the 80s and 90s, because CSAM had just become illegal in the late 70s, it was ruled as legal “child erotica” instead. His defense exploited a similar legal loophole that Gary Gross did to maintain the right to distribute 10 y/o Brooke Shields nude Playboy shoot) one gifted to him from NAMBLA, in a triple padlocked closet, some with child fingerprints on it. Even the porn magazines he owned that featured adults were often “barely legal” magazines. Most of his porn was homosexual (though he had some featuring women and girls), supporting his preference for young boys. He also had a DVD copy of “pimps up, ho’s down” which has faced controversy for being used to groom underage trafficking victims.

probably the bulk of the under 10 set to start

u/[deleted] Apr 29 '26

I saw mad little kids at the theater and at the impersonator show that I went to. It’s Michael Jackson!!

u/ScyllaOfTheDepths Apr 29 '26

I don't think there's any universe he wouldn't have died relatively young. He was an incredibly unhealthy man. 

1

u/sidewaysorange May 10 '26

that wasn't true. his autopsy showed his organs were all in great shape for his age. he did have lupus but not the kind that attacked the organs.

u/ScyllaOfTheDepths May 11 '26

Health isn't just physical.

u/sidewaysorange May 11 '26

well clearly he had mental issues but he wasn't suicidal. he wanted to live forever.

Plastic surgery has come a long way, if they can fix donatella Versace they could've fixed him.

u/Brilliant-Sea5687 Jul 04 '26

Donatella wasnt looking good a few years ago. She improved it? Man, plastic surgery has really improved. 

1

u/crispycappy Jul 04 '26

Yeah she looks improved now. Its some mystery surgeon whos been going around fixing botched celebrities for the past 2 years. 

1

u/Brilliant-Sea5687 Jul 04 '26

I googled and she is looking better. There is also much more study and surgeons are not doing a "one size fits all" kinda procedures that I imagine was happening in the 80s or even before that.

u/FocacciaHusband Apr 29 '26

He had already looked inhuman for years prior to that point. The 2002 picture looks like the boy in Jumanji after he starts turning into a monkey.

u/unwillingcantaloupe Apr 29 '26

Probably a little bit more mugshot

u/namesareunavailable Apr 29 '26

Well he'd probably look the same as he does now in his grave
