I wish the media would pay greater attention to the fact that the Jackson family were Jehovah’s Witnesses. After all, the JWs are a twisted, patriarchal cult that has a history of covering up child abuse. I think it would be illuminating to see the Jackson family’s sordid past discussed within that particular

People always forget both things can be true. Michael was a pedophile and La Toya was exploiting that for her own benefit. It’s not an either or situation.

I think you’re right: it’s both. The Jackson family household was rife with abuse of all kinds and La Toya later milked the truth of their upbringing for attention.

Literally nobody forgave Dylan Roof except a few of those bible thumping Church ladies, you dumbass. Stop defending child predators

Shut the fuck up, Becky, you stupid whore.

If just a song got you through a difficult time in your life, then just maybe it really wasn’t all that difficult.

Ok, cool,. Well just let pedophiles who rape kids walk the streets.  That's cool.

I loved being in a union because I knew exactly how much money I was owed and when my raises were coming. Because it was a government job I could look up everyone’s pay in a public database. Now I’m job hunting and the wage disparity is disgusting. Wage transparency should be a law. You shouldn’t have to ask what a

Dolly Parton is the female Tom Cruise in that shes not really an actor, shes always “DOLLY PARTON”, but some roles require “DOLLY PARTON” as a character so they just write it for her and she says the lines as herself.

Honestly IME adults are the fucking worst. The worst flights I’ve spent have always involved entitled asshole adults being rude and annoying. And adults seem to be the ones that start fights after being asked to stop doing something, I’ve never had a 7 year old curse me out or threaten me for asking them to put their

YES. I was just thinking that I would 100x rather have a crying baby than blaring an Elmo cartoon on your iPad for the whole plane to hear. I just want people to observe the rules of polite society on an airplane. Crying babies aren’t really on the list of things that make for a miserable flight for me.

Yes, and abusers often go after vunerable prey, who have previous trauma, poor judgement, make bad decisions, whatever. And it makes me crazy when people use it to excuse criminals. It’s not ok to rape anyone, I don’t care if they’re crazy or greedy or weird, it’s still a fucking crime to rape them.

But he’s not the only person on the planet who was put out to work and treated as an adult early on.

Yes. And you should too. See also:

Something has always troubled me about the whole MJ story. If he loved and admired and desired to spend so much time including sharing his bed with children, why weren't there ever any little girls around. This alone makes me think that he was sexually attracted to young boys.

I get it. Joe Jackson was awful. So are a lot of people’s fathers.

This notion of “imperfect victims” makes my head hurt. MRAs and their ilk sink their teeth into this imperfection (i.e. “she called him after”, “how can we trust him-he uses”). Abuse traumatizes people and trauma can often lead to questionable decision-making. It’s not complicated. We need better language to support

He discusses the fact that an “air-tight” investigation is somewhat impossible with child sexual abuse, since there’s typically no material evidence and there are few, if any, witnesses. It’s usually “he-said-she-said.” And he acknowledges that these men were CHILDREN when these crimes occurred, and there may be

His answer to that question really doesn’t skirt the answer: That footage, from people who were somewhat disconnected and did not have close relationships with Michael Jackson or his victims, was not as compelling as the footage of the victims and their families. That was literally his answer. The investigators were

I see what you are saying, but don’t you think that getting to know these men, believing they were raped repeatedly, would make you a bit defensive of them - antagonistic towards those who doubt?
