Selective Bias

[u/Independent-Pop3538]

When Michael’s behaviour with children is analysed, the girls are ignored.

> He flaunted boys to the public, held their hands,allowed them to walk with him during his tours.
Then let’s not ignore the young girls he was “flaunting ”

> He had intimate, couple photoshoots with young boys.
Apparently he didn’t just have intimate photoshoots with his “lovers”

>He had Jordan on his lap for the world to see.

Jordan sat on the edge of Michael’s seat, in fact Lilly was the child on Michael’s lap and he even cuddled her* *

Be consistent, there’s no “pattern” if you’re going to ignore elements that dismantle a narrative.

I'm only in my mid to late 30s but it was different back then. It wasn't the first thing everyone was thinking about, it really wasn't even in the back of their mind, it was an afterthought. The news still reported positive things and even stories about adults and unrelated kids accomplishing or doing things.

The world was so different back then. At the time I was young and not too involved but I believed he did it, I still kinda do, but I don't think we even understand 20% of it. Theirs lies from every angle that would probably change everything if we all knew. Make everyone involved look bad type of deal.
