All the reports are tip toeing around him being a pedophile. It is a disgrace. Yes he was really really famous and he made some great music but once you are a pedophile that lone fact should now define your entire life. You have lost the right to be admired in any way.

He paid up in civil court though, too me that is the same thing. Its like saying OJ was innocent.

yr thinking of OJ, jacko didn't have a civil court suit brought against him.  he settled the 93 allegations out of court.

Yeah, but everyone knows about all the ugly stuff, no reason that it all needs to be dragged out again now.  Doesn't change what I think about him as a performer or make me like his music any less.

Although I'm not gonna lie, there have been a few tasteless jokes on Twitter that have made me chuckle.

I know, but settling=guilt no? Even though you hear that nonsense about settling while admitting no guilt. I know if I was accused of the worst crime imaginable I would not settle if I was not guilty.

No. It is more important now than ever to point out that he was a bad person. Otherwise, you are saying that its ok to be a pedophile as long as you are really good at something we all enjoy.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be totally swept under the rug, but it's certainly a topic that has been a big deal for more than 10 years now so it's not like it hasn't been talked about to death.  No one is saying it's ok to be a pedophile (allegedly).
