Some things you just don't fucking joke about. YOU JUST DON'T.
Like, in regards to the MJ stuff, there are some relevant threads that just popped up on gaming side that should make it VERY clear how much sexual assault victims have on their plate as it is. If you don't know what I'm referring to and want to know how much sexual assault victims have on their plate as it is, read this thread. Seriously read it. Read it and consider how much sexual assault victims have on their plate as it is:
And not just that one, but unfortunately this other one as well:

Take the time to read those stories. Take the time to contemplate just how terrible what happened to those people are, just how much they have on their plates as it is. And then, having contemplated all that, think if you really want to defend some piece of garbage making jokes about how sexual assault victims are probably just liars and even if they're not, they probably like it. Think about, with how much they ALREADY have on their plates, if that's what they need, and that that is how, in any way, in even the slightest way, is worth defending at all.
Just think about that. Take the time to read them, see how much they went through. And then ask if yourselves if these are really just "jokes." If this stuff is really worth defending, that doing so helps victims in any way. That they don't have enough on their plates.
And of course, all this also goes for
Leaving Neverland, which people should really watch before forming ANY type of opinion on this. As people really should watch it regardless. But either way, after doing so, again, after everything they went through, ask yourselves if "jokes" like these are what MJ's victims need, that it helps them in any way. That this garbage is really in any way is defending, in any way whatever.
Because at least as far as I'm concerned, some things absolutely, positively shouldn't be joked about. And this is a perfect example of some of those things that shouldn't be joked about, at all, for very, very valid reasons. Because at least as far as I'm concerned, after reading stories like those, after watching documentaries like that, I personally can't comprehend how anyone with even a shred of empathy to them, even a shred, could have their takeaway be the most important thing being sticking up for pathetic "jokes" like this instead of calling them out whenever they see them and doing whatever they can for victims, but that's me.
