That is my point. MJ beat the case AND he is dead, yet we get this https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/...ndance-776934/ .
Where's Elvis' sexual abuse documentary?
Michael Jackson is still mega-culturally relevant. That means there's still money to be made dragging his name through the mud, as well as the disquieting possibly that he might have done something and gotten away with it. Comparitively, is Elvis still important enough to give a damn over? Cousin Wilbur over at the farm might lose his ****, but who else will care? When I was young, I could name five Elvis songs off the top of my head. My thirteen year old niece doesn't even know who he was.

A conflux of R. Kelly's victims and angry moms thereof are speaking out now, that's why there's a documentary now.
And there were complaints sworn against Kelly at least since the early aughts.
That (blatantly) ain't the case with Elvis.
Why are peeps more worried about what MIGHT happen to R.Kelly than what likely DID happen to Dominque Kramer?
Last I checked she (and her Mom) was also Black. Where's the pearl clutching on (their) behalf?
I think it's good to show that violence can have terrible consequences, but you're 100% on the mark about Halo. They are really abusing her healing factor in ways that are pretty gross. Are they setting us up for a payoff where it finally doesn't save her? More to the point, why are they singling her out for so much punishment? I don't like it. It feels so edge lord-ey. "Hey guys, here's a sweet natured young woman blessed with a gentle personality: Now watch us turn her a squeezed tube. It's okay, she always comes back!"
So mean.

Is there a Rick James sex abuse documentary? Or one about James Brown beating his wives? I mean, I actually agree with your larger point that there's a double standard when it comes to black men in general. But I'm not so sure that what's going on with R Kelly now is a good example of it.
Yeah, barely anyone is having any real consequences from any of the metoo stuff. I don't see a huge black white issue here. Just need to burn it all.

Last we saw Elvis past with teen girls has came up now in some biographies and had he not married Priscilla in 1967 there was talk her father would get him charged with the Mann Act for taking a teenage girl across state lines. (This after giving his approval for her to live with him , but as Priscilla Presley claims they never did anything til they married..no idea if that is true or not) .
Jerry Lee Lewis had his career go into the shitter for years due to his marriage to his 13 year old cousin. People weren't happy with Lewis and his career while it did return with going into country music in late 1960's , he never was at the peak he was at before that. So you could point at Lewis who took a big hit then.

Erykah Badu gets backlash for "R. Kelly defense"

I want healing for you and anyone you have hurt as a result of you being hurt. Is that strange to you ? That’s all I’ve ever said. Anything else has been fabricated or taken out of context.”
On the one hand, I get what she was saying or trying to say. On the other, it's kind of an inability to read the room and it was probably best not to talk about Kelly at all.

In the decades since, people still use the persona, music, & likeness of Elvis in various commercials, TV Shows, and movies. You can actually earn a living as an Elvis impersonator. A wrestler, Honky Tonk Man, was based on Elvis.
In the decades since, we have seen commercials use "great balls of fire" to promote products. The song was used in Top Gun.
If we are not going to urinate on their graves, then at the very least, folks should not continue promoting their musical legacies.
I think folks just need to understand that DC is really into grim-dark stuff.
I hold great affection for bronze age DC & Marvel. However, I have to cheery pick DC post Alan Moore & Frank Miller. It's like people read their DC work, focused solely on the darkness, and applied it to their books, films, and now animation.
