In Disney's Coco everyone cared about evidence showing their favorite celebrity stole music, which is probably the most unrealistic part of it. (lemmy.world)

That kid would have gotten a million death threats and his house maybe burned down if in the real world if he came out with evidence to try and discredit someone's favorite dead celebrity.

Don't forget the less violent folks who find a way to "separate the art from the artist" and continue keeping memories of the villain alive through his music regardless of how much of a villain he was.

"He may have done that stuff. But it doesn't matter! It would be disrespectful to take down his monuments to the people he impacted positively"

"He's so hot; I'd totally let him off me!"

I remember being appalled at the people saying this stuff about Chris Brown (that they'd be happy to let him beat them) after he attacked Rhianna. Gross.

Edited for grammar.

Just like they did with Milli Villainilli

I don't recall anyone going after the folks that made "Leaving Neverland," but I also wasn't paying much attention.

I mean I just googled the name of one of the producers

Looks like they also got sued by the Jackson estate.

Haven't watched it in a while, but wasn't it the whole murder thing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

While we know the murder happened, the only evidence of any wrong doing in the real world were the lyrics of the songs in letters to Coco. Which may have had the date written on them.

Honestly, it would be a pretty pathetic amount of evidence in the real world and would drag on for decades with people demanding tests of the letters to try and find out their creation dates and authenticity, and arguing that him having drafts of partners songs didn't change anything.
