This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anyone who thinks Jackson wasn't a pedophile is willfully blind.

Being a great artist doesn't stop you from being a very sick man. His upbringing certainly is an extenuating circumstance, but it doesn't change the nature of his relationships with young boys.

Edit: to the people defending him, I put it to you that you are blinded by stardom. If any other man was fascinated with young boys in the same way, you'd think they were extremely weird at best and probably think much worse.

I don't really care for his music and his behavior was immature at best (all can be chaulked up to his father.) but I'll believe evidence of his misdeeds when I see it. Every single accusation was walked back and admitted to be pressured by parents or lawyers for an out of court settlement and every investigation, including by the FBI found zero wrong doing. If he had inappropriately touched a child we'd have some evidence about it.

Some accusations are also doubtful due to the use of sodium amytal
