What kind of "proofs" do I want? lol How about any. Just as I do with any other accusation these mobs mindlessly rally behind. Just as I do with anything in general, for that matter. Because that's how critical thinking works. That's how science and law work. Sorry, but him just being weird isn't going to cut it. Despite everyone's best efforts, this isn't Salem quite yet.
And I'm not sure what universe others were living in, but I grew up repeatedly hearing talk shows, comedians, radio hosts, tabloids, the news, documentaries, etc repeatedly go against this guy (from the 90s to today). From my perspective, having not delved into the case then, people spoke so confidently and regularly of his guilt that I always thought it was just a matter of fact. So to hear people act like his privileged celebrity status got him out of trouble seems somewhat laughable. Heck, even after he decided to take the pain-in-the-ass route of taking that second accuser to a months-long, highly publicized trial, rather than settling (because everyone acted as if that was an indicator of guilt), and got that not guilty verdict, all of the aforementioned mob continued to paint him as guilty anyway. Because people clearly just believe what they want to believe, evidence be damned.
If anything, it's the man's celebrity that kept this narrative going. There's just too much money, clicks, and/or notoriety in making an accusation against him or publishing a rumor about him. And with thousands of children (and their families) coming to his house every year, it's hardly surprising that some capitalized on this reputation and the media's neverending salivation for a juicy "I got molested" story.
Like them, you've clearly already decided what you want to believe just because... I dunno? Your gut feeling? Your unwavering trust in randos who say stories? Anything but evidence, really. Because, again, there’s none of that. So let’s just default to our chosen faith, eh?

Again - what kind of evidence you expect 10 years old children? Inserting huge hidden camera in their pockets?
If crime was not filmed for everyone to see it doesnt mean it didnt happen. If no one caught you stealing something it doesnt mean its not a crime and you can steal.
Thats why this cancel culture started. So they can punish and cancel celebrities who commited crimes against women and children and got away with it because victims were afraid to speak up because they dont have proofs since abuser didnt record themselves commiting crime.
Your evidence is that your idol brought 10 years random children to live with him in his house and on tour and then replacing them once they aged out. Its wasnt one boy, it wasnt two. This is why no one spoke up when he was in heights of his fame. Because no one would believe them because he was so famous and powerful and his fans would attack victims.
