For many Michael Jackson fans, specifically those who have spent the last three months spamming internet comments sections and Twitter threads with messages of support for their idol, a new 30-minute documentary will be described as the ultimate exoneration of the King of Pop.

Leaving Neverland, the ground-shifting film that saw two men allege with harrowing detail years of sexual abuse by Jackson, will continue to be described as an elaborate hoax, and this new rebuttal, a documentary titled Neverland Firsthand that has been posted to YouTube, will be described as promoting conclusive evidence against both men. It will continue to reverberate with sacred regard around the pro-Jackson corners of the internet.

That Neverland Firsthand is ludicrous will not factor into its Jackson-fandom mythos. Already it has been dubbed by many fans “real journalism”, the slow pace of its traction outside of YouTube illustrative of a media-led conspiracy designed to destroy Jackson’s legacy. “They’ll never show this on mainstream media,” reads one of its most-liked comments on YouTube, one reflective of much of the response within Jackson fan circles. “Why isn’t this on Netflix?” reads another. “If they don’t have [an] agenda with all [of] these one-sided stories to kill Michael again, then I don’t know what it is,” declares another commenter. “Journalism is dead. Humanity is dead.”
