Drake Bell says Nickelodeon's response to #QuietonSet is "pretty empty."

Amber Frank, who played on Nickelodeon’s ‘The Haunted Hathaways’, recalls horrifying and disgusting situation she witnessed while working at the network:

“Nickelodeon sent computers over to production when we were starting filming the show and when they were turned on there was child p*rn on them. Nobody was held accountable. There was no investigation…It’s beyond heartbreaking to know that a company that was employing children failed miserably at protecting them.”

[lydzi]

what the fuck did I just read oO

[sandstorm]

So they're probably still doing this shit because Haunted Hathaways isn't THAT old.

[tree_star123]

ugh that's so shameful it sucks that these productions of children for children are not protected the other day I watched a documentary on boys scout and it's like how does this happen there's no vetting system or actual punishment

So many…”jizz” references in those shows…

I was a few years older than a lot of the shows they referenced but i was such a Katrina from All That fan so i clung to every word of hers.

There’s one thing to be *wink wink* to parents to keep them entertained while they watch nonsense with their kids and then there’s…that.

I also felt strange that Drake was not willing to give details just for the doc to share those details a minute later. I know it’s public record now but I hope they let him know they’d be showing it. And his dad…it broke my heart.

I read a headline, will admit I didn’t follow up, that the creator of Ren and Stimpy is a POS and now I’m afraid to rewatch that show as well.

I watched a documentary about Ren and Stimpy recently and I was afraid it would gloss over what a POS Kricfalusi was but thankfully it didn't. They did interviews with some of the women he targeted and he gave a total BS response but there are multiple people he groomed. It was my favorite cartoon as a kid (I loved gross stuff lol) but yeah it makes me not want to go back and watch it now.

[lamppost1911]

Oh wow, I didn’t realize there was a full fledged doc about it!

I loooooved the show as well (and yes, it was so gross lol), so no judgement.

So terrible to hear what happened behind the scenes, ugh.

[komichi]

Oh geeez. I loved Ren & Stimpy and as an aspiring animator I followed his blog pretty religiously. He taught me a lot about art. I stopped following after things about mistreating women came out... I had no idea about him grooming people. Fuck.

[kawaiiairbender]

I haven't watched the doc but I think Nick's response is pretty empty too.

I keep thinking about when it came out that the creator of Ren and Stimpy had two underage girlfriends that everyone knew about.

There has been inappropriate things and child exploitation going on since the early 90s. That's the environment they've been fostering.

[wapiko]

so i finally watched the doc and ngl i felt very uncomfortable with how many times they showed the "sexual" scenes from the shows, especially the ariana grande ones.

same OP, I binged it on Friday and just...yikes.

I had no idea how bad these shows were because I had just aged out of the humor around 2005/2006 but I loved Drake and Josh and I had no idea all of this was going on.

[skyler_white_yo]

I know I should watch this and maybe I will this afternoon.
I did see the guy from Blues Clues made a post checking in on everyone. And while I was too old for blues clues when it came out his tik tok post made me cry

Steve seems like good people.

[itsme_eloise]

he seems like a good egg. i know we're all adults now who have seen the downfall of every institution we were raised with but it's just really nice to be able to be recognized by something sweet from childhood that stayed that way.

[xpirate_queenx]

Steve is such a legitimately good person.
