I think it is fair to critique Michael Jackson's legacy as 'The King of Pop' and a man accused of child molesting several times.

I think post-1993 Michael Jackson is the Wacko Jacko, who changed his appearance almost to being a white guy, slept with little boys, and dangled his child outside a hotel.

Pre-1993 is one of the most influential people to music ever.  I equate his impact to Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and Elvis, they all have stood the test of time, and didn't cater to one market of fans. 

I was in elementary school when Thriller came out, and that was all that was talked about from 1983-84.  The girls loved Michael Jackson in my class, and I think he won 8 Grammy's that year?  For anyone who wasn't alive when MTV started in 1981, Thriller was the first long video as I believe it was 14 minutes long?  And in the first few months of 1984, the video was on EVERY hour.  Now think of MTV and that they don't even play music anymore!
