Is this a reference to someone?
I’m guessing that guy from that swords cartoon on Cartoon network that got caught with CP vs. say, the creator of Samurai Jack (even though it’s simulated blood/ “oil”)
edit: it was the creator of magiswords.
Edit 2: I accidentally said Jackie Chan instead of Samurai Jack and NONE of you corrected me. No more drunk comments. I did really like Jackie Chans’ animated adventures, even though it was probably ccp propaganda.
Edit 3: “C C P” not “cop”. I should’ve capitalized it. Didn’t realize the “c” looked like an “o”. Jackie Chan is a shill for the CCP. Still enjoy the old kungfu movies/ animation and think it’s funny he’s a porn star that worked in Hong Kong.
I mean, Jackie Chan adventures was badass. Who cares if it’s coppaganda, if anything it’s mostly just unfortunate Chan kinda fell from grace.
Now that I think of it, I think that Mike Tyson show might have also been riffing off it.
They weren’t cops in Jackie Chan’s Animated Adventures, they’re like secret agents.
Chan plays a cop in the Police Story movies, which would be interesting to look at from a copaganda angle.
Then you have Dan Shneider
I mean, other than 4chan jokes there is practically no proof of any sexual misconduct. Yes, he is a weirdo and is known to verbally abuse subordinates, but AFAIK that’s that.
Nickelodeon was concerned enough to offer Jeannette McCurdy a lot of money to shut her up. She doesn’t use his name, but does describe an incident where it is clearly him pressuring her into drinking alcohol in her book. What she describes is similar to what other victims have described.
We also know that Brian Peck assaulted Drake Bell, and that almost everyone on set knew about it. There’s evidence of a culture of coercion and silence.
Unfortunately didn’t apply to the creator of Ren & Stimpy.
…do I want to read this?

I don’t know why I still get disappointed when I find out someone is a shitheel.
sigh
Reminds me of the South Park guys.
I regularly pray Mr. Rogers remains the counterexample to this trend 🙏
“Mr Rogers miraculously raises from the dead only to go around diddling kids”
I don’t think he remotely fits the “overly wholesome” aspect of this meme at all. He’s far more relatable to creator #1. He made shows about things that are difficult to talk about with kids. He frequently negotiated topics that others advised against. He was incredibly articulate and relatable when it came to even angry letters from ignorant parents. He communicated with children the same way he would with adults. He literally hired a working jazz club pianist to do the music and when asked what kids songs he was going to be playing, homie’s basically like, “Uh, you do you fam. YOU are the music program.” He even made episodes of his show that were FOR adults. He cared deeply about emotional health and knew how detrimental it is to your development at all stages in life. And he did this for decades as a devout and committed spiritual leader and never mentions God a single time. He knows how to be an example and I would be amazed if he were capable of hiding a sordid and deplorable existence.
He was also an incredible debater and speaker. He does use simpler language on the show but he is very capable. Just adding that because I’m obviously biased. I met him once and my mom wrote him an angry letter. She’s always been a piece of trash but I will never forget his kindness and joy.
