So, the Simpsons are pulling the Michael Jackson episode from distribution - the one where Jackson plays the voice of a white mental patient who comes home with Homer from the mental hospital.

All of this is a result of a documentary entitled Leaving Neverland, which interviews in depth two men who were repeatedly sexually molested by Jackson as young boys.  Jackson of course was tried and acquitted on very similar charges back in the 90s.

I've seen and heard online discussions about whether it is right to still listen to Jackson's music, whether wedding DJs should play his music, that kind of thing.

So what say you Languish?  Is it right to still listen to Jackson's music?  Should radio stations stop playing his songs?  Or do you still doubt that Jackson was a serial sexual abuser?

I think the SJW's should burn everything MJ to the ground.

This is a good criteria/guideline.
