Has anyone else kinda opened their eyes on the whole controversy surrounding him?
If you don't know, or are possible confused about what or who I'm talking about, let me explain.
Dan Schneider is an American actor, writer and producer, and the creator of Schneider's Bakery, a production company that has made shows that have probably made your childhood. Shows like The Amanda Show, All That, iCarly, Drake and Josh, Zoey101, and many other shows.
Now, as some of you may know, this year in March, Nickelodeon decided to cut all ties with Schneider, mainly because of creative differences, and because most of his shows have ended production anyway. Here's the link to the article explaining the situation.
Now, the article goes on to explain that Dan Schneider has had multiple sexual abuse allegations against him, also explaining that he has had some temper issues in the past.
Before I continue, I know what you're thinking.
"There is no reliability to this and you're using YouTube to further explain and blah blah blah.
Yes. True, but I'm not looking at satirical posts or videos, I'm looking at posts and videos that use, for the most part reliable information and valid points. Here's a video I currently finished, where I'm basically summing up most of the same points:
So let's discuss:
The Sexual Abuse:
First and foremost, lets start off with the obvious, Dan Schneider made our childhoods pretty good through funny, yet odd content. With odd being the key word here. He's just an odd, odd man. Here's some nicknames for him, most of them funny, but, still:
Anyway back to the odd man, again, with odd being the key word.
For starters, should we talk about his obvious foot fetish? If you remember any of the Schneider's Bakery shows, you'll probably remember scenes where people do a lot of things with feet. Like in iCarly when they draw on their feet? Or in Victorious when she shoots a bow and arrow with her feet?
Literally I'm not making it up. If you look up anything related to Dan Schneider and feet, weird s--- will pop up.
Another big thing involves Zoey101 and the star Jamie Lynn Spears and her becoming pregnant at 16, thus leading to the show's cancellation. I won't explain how much her daughter kind of resembles Dan, but it's kinda disturbing. Granted, the star herself has said that's its someone else's, there isn't part of me that doubts that it could be his. And while I don't believe any specific actress has come out to say anything, Noah Munck who played Gibby basically said that weird things did happen with Dan, and while he doesn't seem to believe the allegations specifically, he doesn't want to defend Schneider just in case the allegations are not wrong.
On a website known as Crazy Days and Nights, a user known as "himmmm" believed to be Robert Downey Jr, based on other posts by the users and the users connections to other actresses and actors, said the following about Schneider.
"He's a monster. The WORST predator alive. And if you wonder why nobody will confront or charge him? He's in charge of multiple HIT SHOWS for Nick which rakes in oceans of money. Tens of millions of dollars multiplied by many years and many shows (not to mention his merchandising royalties). So Viacom-Nick warn him to cool it ? then pay for his damn lawyers. What about the parents? No tweener parent who shoved their kid into the limelight from birth is going to cross him either, and risk career suicide and loss of revenue (and residuals and future career). No matter how bad it beep up the kids. Especially if there's MULTIPLE kid actors in the family. And the kid's agents are complicit too. Just ask the Spears family. A LOT of settlements get paid out of Viacom's accounts."
There's more to the article, but that's the meat of it.
I'll post more soon, but for now, I'll stop here as I've been typing for thirty minutes now. If this thread needs to be moved then by all means do what you must, but for now, thoughts on this?
This thread is locked, therefore no new posts can be made.
