Here's a throwback to the two SYTYCD routines Wade Robson won Outstanding Choreography Emmys for.

Also kind of OT: but I was wondering how ONTDers are embedding instagram posts in the comments? Usually whenever I try the instagram embed code is too many characters and livejournal says it exceeds the character limit.

Copy the Instagram link of the post. Open the “post an entry link” on LJ, then click on the insert media and paste the Instagram link. Then copy that and paste it in the ONTD comments

Thanks! I thought this no longer worked (I used to do it) because when I do this the visual editor just shows the instagram link instead of a visual of the embedded post. But looking at click preview it actually does embed the post after all! This is really good to know for both posts and comments that the insert media embed still works for instagram and I don't have to copy the original instagram embed from the source that is a billion characters anymore.

"Leaving Neverland" still haunts me

same

it was a very powerful documentary.

This is great, but I still hope for real justice to be done. Instead we hear about Spacey getting away with his crimes yet again, Singer still has a career, Kelly has yet to be rotting in jail, MJ somgs still play at my job... It just feels hopeless most of the time.

Mj fans are delusional.

What irks me about people criticizing the "Leaving Neverland" doc is that they refuse to see it. They criticize James and (mostly) Wade, but won't bother to see it.

I don't know if it's because they want to remain in denial, or because they don't believe the victims.

[insomniachobs]

Mixture of both I think. Though both come down to the same thing of not wanting to have their current point of view challenged.

My aunt is a huge mj fan and it started with the Jackson 5. She refuses to watch the documentary but still maintains that everyone is lying. It’s infuriating.

[evilfrenchfries]

It’s both. People want to remain in a bubble believing that he’s innocent so they can continue to listen to Thriller. Also, it’s always been easy for our society to dismiss abuse/rape survivors. Especially male survivors.
