They should rename it. It's more obvious than ever that the allegations against Jackson are true.

Also everyone should take notes from what Quebec did after allegations that Claude Jutra (one of our most successful filmmakers) was revealed to have been a pedophile:

On February 17, 2016 La Presse published an interview with an alleged victim of Jutra, who requested to remain anonymous, relating sexual contact ranging from embrace to oral sex from the time the victim was 6 to 16. On the same day and based on the information in the same article, the Minister of Culture of Quebec, Hélène David, asked Cinéma Québec to remove the name Jutra from its prizes recognizing cinematic achievements in Quebec, which they did. She also mandated the Commission de toponymie (Quebec Toponymy Commission), a sub-agency of Office québécois de la langue française which reports to the Minister of Culture, to assemble a list of all streets and public places in the province bearing the name Jutra. On the same day, Montreal mayor Denis Coderre announced that

They almost make it sound easy!

It really should be that simple, no matter who the pedo is or what they did.

Jacko's fans are infesting every tweet that mentions the award with links to how Leaving Neverland is 'fake' and also spamming with pictures/gifs of the pedophile.

welcome to life on twitter since March LOL if you bring him up, the stans will come... sometimes it takes a couple days, but every time I mention him / Leaving Neverland the same people are in my mentions posting Tito Jackson podcasts and shit lmao

[saemcrh]

Oh I know lol, it's just so maddening to see. I was expecting praise for Missy but they were just there, everywhere.

Tweets will just say "video vanguard award" without his name and they're in the comments with "actually it's the #MichaelJacksonVideoVanguardAward".

They keep promoting these people who are saying things with less legitimacy than Wade and James' claims, but they're too dumb to see it. They're deranged morons. One of the things I saw linked was using a video of Chingy defending MJ, Chingy!

[evilfrenchfries]

They'll spam any mention of him and/or leaving neverland. But my block hand is strong.

[bellwetherr]

all they have to do is quietly call it the video vanguard award - no one would even notice the name drop. MTV & Viacom are so fucking stupid.

[unnecessaryhat]

or they could just stop giving the award out altogether and no one would notice.

[looneyboy83]

cancel all the bullshit award shows honestly.

[dianakingston]

Not this year, Missy Elliott damn well deserves it

[palosantos]

They should absolutely change the name because it’s a stain on the award.

[lawofcosines]

no one even calls the award by its full name. its so easy to remove jacko's name from it but watch mtv and viacom be stubborn and stupid as always

[_clochette_]

this. nobody would notice.
