As I said it was not a sarcastic, it was a legitimate question without judgement.

I don't believe MJ is guilty and many other people feel the same way, we want proper evidence that's all coherent stories of the alleged abuse.

There's too many inconsistencies and contradictions . So yes although there's probably SOME fans out there that will never accept MJ might be guilty there's other people who just can't see him as a child molester as it doesn't fit together , plus he was investigated for a long time and was found innocent.

And finding MJ strange and child like doesn't automatically mean he abused kids. But i think he made poor decisions through naivety . I also think his upbringing had alot to do with it . He was a mega star and one of the biggest targets for extortion scams .

I understand that but its not the question I have asked, twice.

What if there were irrefutable evidence, what would your stance be then? Read back for full question as its late and ive quoted it twice

I would honestly be devastated , like many other people . It's a difficult one really .

I was a Lost Prophets fan before it was revealed the lead singer was a paedophile , i was shocked and felt disgusted as i didn't see it coming. I stopped listening to their music .

Some people can separate the artist from the music , there's people out there that think MJ is guilty but they DON'T want his music to be muted and they'll STILL happily listen to his music .

It depends how strongly you feel , obviously anything to do with violence & abuse can completely change things regarding how you feel about that person . But celebrities get cancelled all the time and people are very fickle.
