I said this for a long time. He's an Ahole but not a p-do. It seems like there is a witch hunt to lump him in that group and has been for a while. It's really sick what people do with the media tool
Yeah the dan schneider stuff was pretty mid. He's a misogynist with a high schooler sense of humor. Thinks it's hilarious to get subtle adult shit past censors (which isn't uncommon for kids shows, see Shrek). Toxic boss. Violated labor laws. None of this was new.
But definitely not a p-dophile. Seems like he got lumped in with the other two
I'm not going to deny Alexa Nikolas' experience but she's a bit of a grifter if you take one look at her channel.
Christy Carlson Romano had the best description for "Quiet on Set" she called it "Trauma tourism, these are people who are not part of the community, they add nothing to the community, they just want to gawk and exploit it."
This is a little off topic, but since we're talking about manipulative editing, I found it pretty off putting how during the Brian Peck episode, they kept dramatically cutting to pictures of him, almost like a jump scare. Especially because they acted like they were candid photos when a LOT of them were in character as (gag) Pickle Boy, who's whole shtick was being creepy
A character that he was voluntarily agreeing to play - he didn't have to do a bit part, and he was connected enough to say “no” to anything. And people like this who think they're too powerful to get caught, they love to “confess” through comedy, the innuendo was part of the appeal to him.
Its important to note that Alexa Nikolas was a disgruntled employee.
She was fired for feuding with Jamie Lynn on set. Of course her experience was toxic- she was fired.
Just watching her YouTube channel, she seems very unhinged & would likely accuse anyone of anything based on how you look at her.
She even went after lovable Matt Bennett for being a DJ using Nickelodeon songs.
"Disgruntled employee" bro she was a 13 year old girl
Yeah they also painted convicted felons as sympathetic victims, all while there's evidence this man is actively grooming a minor. Pathetic.

I mean, Reddit and X do this on a daily basis.

That's kind of the same feel I got watching it. Gays being male feminist p-dophiles and then "well dan had a frat boy sense of humor". Literally the only one who supported Bell at the time. Was waiting for them to get into the bad stuff and it never happened, just "and then meetoo saved the day!
"

I felt the same. Dan seems like a total kunt to work with and creepy, but they didn't go into any p-do stuff he did. Though the c*m shot shit and other suggestive things with children were absolutely disgusting

I mean, having child actors perform sexually suggestive material is definitely p-do stuff.
But that doc was a disaster. The female writers whining that he didn't think they were funny and the black kid being mad over ...something... really just distracted from talking about how everyone in Hollywood is a libertarian.

Yeah, I don't know why they sandwiched that bullshit around the brutal child r*pe shit.

Wasn't he a huge footstrag around all the teenage girls on the shows he produced? Doesn't that count as being a p-do?

Anyone who defends downplays the (obvious) p-do behavior from Dan Schneider is more than likely a p-do themselves. This isn't that hard to figure out.
