Also a pedophile, but one we mostly overlook because he made some great songs and was awesome in a muppet movie.
edit- lol yep. People hate when you point out this one is a pedo. He gets a free pass because of his awesome music. Which, admittedly, i still listen too as well.
I have looked into this, he is certainly not a serial pedophile or serial rapist by any stretch. The single account that seems credible does not feel that she herself is a victim. The only other person with an account that paints him as any sort of predator is basically regarded as not credible, from what I’ve read. Any accusation will make a celebrity problematic to a certain extent of course, my instinct is always to side with a victim telling their story, but I don’t feel that bad about enjoying his music given the nature of the accusations. As contrasted by basically every time I hear a Michael Jackson song at this point.
His personal beliefs and actions aside, he did some real good for queer folk, so at least there is some kind of positive to associate. I’ll reiterate though that it is very unfortunate that there is an accusation at all and I certainly take it into consideration when listening now.
*Edited in some additional context and put “serial” before the word “rapist”

She may not feel like a victim but if she was underage then it shouldn’t make him less guilty. I’m unfamiliar with the case you’re referring to.

Nah, get caught with pictures of naked 13 years olds and tell me how that goes for you.

Yeah because clearly there’s a huge difference between 12 and 13, we all know girls reach puberty on their 13th birthday.
Fucking pedo apologist.

They don’t want to use their brains. They just want to be outraged and mad at others.
