It's almost as if Wade Robson is talking about himself here. His made up fantasy of being a sex abuse "victim" allows him to escape responsibility for his failure as a family bread winner and failure in his career. 
BTW, Wade, unlike your act of being a "sex abuse victim", MJ's difference wasn't some kind of self-created fantasy to play victim. He objectively and provably had a very different life than most.
Wade takes things out of context. The book specifically states that here we are talking about an irrational, not real difference. Alan grew up normal, there was no reason for him to feel different or isolated,unlike for MJ who's life as a child was objectively different.
Also Alan's feeling of different is specifically in regards to his sexuality. Wade omits a lot of things here, like Alan being oversexualized and sexualizing everything, already as a child.
If Wade Robson thinks that someone who's whole childhood was spent between studios and was beaten to stage has no right to feel different and is "playing victim" when he's talking about those experiences then that just shows his complete lack of empathy.
I would similarly feel empathy for Wade (like MJ did) for his stage mom taking his childhood away from him, if he wasn't the narcissistic sociopath that he became.
Wade is trying to create a connection like "Alan felt different and isolated. MJ felt different and isolated. That proves MJ was a pedophile."
It's akin to saying "Hitler liked dogs. Your friend likes dogs. Therefore your friend is a nazi."
