I'm pretty sure that didn't really become a thing until the early 90s. I was only 4 in '87 but I remember a few weird tidbits like his obsession with Liz Taylor and The Elephant Man, as well as the obvious skin color thing, but if anybody talked about kids it wasn't the center of the media's attention.

I talked to a friend who felt that Michael had an enormous appeal to kids: that she considered him more of a fellow kid than an as an adult. Pop skews young as a rule, but MJ could probably be considered a weird species of kids entertainer. His spoken-word bit with Paul McCartney on "The Girl Is Mine" is also cringe-inducing.
