that’s one of the reasons im such a fan and been a fan since i was a kid. Finding out the BIGGEST celebrity that ever walked the earth had vitiligo just like me. I remember feeling like you couldn’t say SHIT to me after learning that. I went from thinking people with my condition are so rare (Never met anyone irl with vitiligo) and freaky to thinking im mini mj.

I’m black and almost fully depigmented like him. I also use the same cream he used to get rid of the melanated skin because i was toooo far gone too quick. My diagnosis to 90% depigmentation happened in a year (i was stressed asf).

Representation even in the uniquest ways is so important. He made me happier to be myself bc to me, as a kid, if mj had vitiligo it can’t be that bad!

I was front row at the Melbourne pop up and omgg… every single song was prerecorded 😭 even the breaths to make it sound live. They looked cute tho!

I have ‘chemically induced vitiligo’ from harsh bleaching creams my dad used to lather on me everyday. He stopped until i was 13 (i’m 20 now.) and the vitiligo started right when he stopped.

I’m basically fully depigmented now except for a few spots. I was stressed and bullied for most of high school so i think that’s why it was so fast.

He always mentions how ‘lucky’ i am that i got vitiligo and he wishes it was him and he’s been using the same creams for decades.

I’m no contact with him (he’s emotionally abusive in general.) and sometimes i wish i learned to love my natural skin before it changed so drastically so fast.

Let’s share some facts or stories abt our boy that most people wouldn’t know. I’ll go first! he loved the high school music trilogy 😭

The one glove
The HEE HEE
The jehri curl
The white/sparkly socks
the military jackets
the hat
The feetwork/moonwalk
The sunglasses
The voice

from literally head to toe he had a signature thing. You can take a picture of anywhere on his body and recognise that it’s MICHAEL JACKSON. Even a 2 second clip of him talking. And it didn’t feel gimicky

He was a GENIUS.

A few months ago ishowspeed that famous youtuber/streamer was doing an irl stream and my boyfriend came home one day all happy and excited and said he met a celebrity. I said who and he showed me the video of him chasing after ishowspeed, screaming, taking his shirt off to get his attention. He ended up getting a picture with him but even after he got the picture he kept following him. This is all on speed’s stream btw. I rewatch it sometimes and just ick. Like why is he acting like that… sometimes it disgusts me so much i wanna break up 😭 ur doing all that for a man that doesn’t know you. GET UP. It genuinely makes me queasy. I cringe every time i remember it. Just a rant it’s not that serious

Edit: CELEBRITY* not celebrity’s
