Why do people call Michael Jackson ‘Wacko Jacko’?

Because they hated him for being "weird" and eccentric. They mocked him for being an animal lover, for having a legitimate skin disease that was confirmed in his autopsy, and for loving children for being themselves around him. He was only ever comfortable around kids because he was somewhat childish himself. Anyone that watches his Neverland videos would understand that. He was hated especially by the media and by jealous people. His only fault was being naive and trusted way too many people that took advantage of him. Only those that are heartless and cruel would call him such names. He was a good person that was very misunderstood and misportrayed by the media. Very unfortunate. Also, to clarify he wasn't a paedophile. The trials were ridiculous and weren't just about extortion, but to destroy a powerful black man. He just couldn't understand how society works, and given the child abuse he suffered from his father and constant bullying of his physical appearance, it's no wonder he became even more eccentric. A lot of the allegations were false and blown out of proportion. Such a pity that the media continues to call him by that awful name. They really can't leave the Jackson family alone can't they?
