re: Quiet On Set: Nickelodeon Documentary

There's a lot of discussion online about this doc, and folks go "Well, people like Ariana Grande and other signed NDAs so they'll never talk about this."

NDAs can't be enforced to cover for illegal activity. The catch is that you have to disclose in legal proceedings for said alleged crimes. You can't break the allegations on something like this documentary first."

Drake Bell had been through the legal process for the Brian Peck abuse prosecution, so if there was ever any sort of NDA, it wouldn't be able to be enforced.

Anyone else who signed one and took a payoff to keep quiet would need to seek to file charges in order to avoid any penalties for breaking the NDA.

Seeing that people like James Marsden and Tarran Killam were rushing to Peck's defense in his sentencing is sickening. Makes me wonder if they were victims themselves, but now that they're established names then they can just get along to go along with it all.

Again, he was credibly accused and basically admitted it in a statement of asking a female writer to act like she was being sodomized while pitching a joke.

How is that the same as raping a child in your mind?

No one here is saying Dan Schneider is a great guy. We are saying that grouping him up with actual child molesters is disingenuous.

Why in the world are you guys coming out of the woodwork to defend a pedophile?

This right here is the issue of how they set up this documentary. In no way shape or form did they accuse or even insinuate that Dan Schneider did anything sexual with a minor. They made a stretch of an argument that maybe he had a foot fetish and included sexual innuendos in his sketches. Guess what? Almost every kids movie has some jokes for the adults that go over the kids heads.

Again, I am not saying Schneider is a stand up guy. I am saying that this documentary was very disingenuous in lumping together a shitty boss with actual child rapists as if they were equal.

quote:

He wrote and produced scenes, to be acted out by kids, that were sexual in nature. The sexual nature of those scenes went over the heads of young kids, so what audience was he writing to? Who was he trying to entertain with showing a teenaged girl getting sticky stuff squirted on her face? Even though he hasn't been accused (yet) of raping a kid, I think he can stil be called a predator.

---

He had multiple shows that spanned decades. The fact that they pulled a few scenes where it could be surmised that it was to mimic a sexual situation is speculation. Even the female writer that hated Dan said the scenes were never pitched as a sexual innuendo but just as something funny. Kids like slap stick comedy. Sticky stuff being sprayed in someone's face is funny. You know what else kids think is funny? Feet. My 4 year old daughter loves to joke about her stinky toes. Does that mean that someone in my family has a foot fetish? Should someone have said "hey this looks to explicit and should be cut"? Sure. But to say because they sprayed stuff in a kids faces and made feet jokes to get laughs means he molests children is disingenuous.

If Dan was a child predator, then they would have accused him of actually touching kids. They didn't. Hell Drake Bell said that Dan was the only one on his side once they arrested Peck. I would think a child molester would try to protect the other child molester in fear of a wider investigation.

I hate that yall are making me defend this guy. He was a shitty person. He just wasn't in the same league of shitty people as a guy who fricked Drake Bell in the arse repeatedly. But this doc lumped them all together like it was equal offenses.

quote:

he employed a guy who proudly displays his John Wayne Gacy penpal collection.

He sure didn't. The studio that employed Dan schneider hired and employed the child rapist. Another disingenuous aspect of this doc is they acted like Schneider was in charge of everything. He was only in charge of the writers room. He had a say in casting and in some other areas but he did not hire and employ anyone. Nor did he get final call on which sketches made it to air. The studio execs did.

making the documentary like this was done purposefully. They are trying to make it seem like being an a-hole misogynist is the same as or worse than being a child rapist. Thats what the left wants. They want to be able to cancel whoever they want just because they aren't PC and nice. The best way to do that is to blur the lines between being a mean person and being an actual criminal.

---

I disagree. I believe they didn't press hard enough on Schneider, and let him get away with what was likely worse than those who were charged because they pulled back when they got to "hostile work environment" and "a-hole boss producer with a God complex."

The Dan Schneider story hasn't by any means been told to its full depth.

You seem to just want to label Dan Schneider a pedophile despite the hit piece documentary providing zero evidence or even insinuation of it. Your whole argument is "Yeah but I bet he did." Zero substance to it at all.

This documentary was mostly directed at Dan Schneider. If they had evidence of him being worse than a misogynistic a-hole boss then they would have definitely put it in the doc. They held no punches when it came to the Peck raping Drake Bell, why do you think they "went soft" on Schneider? That makes zero sense. They interviewed multiple cast member in the doc and not one even slightly suggested that Schneider was inappropriate with them in a sexual manner.

Knowing Business insiders tactics, they went all in trying to get evidence that Schneider molested kids and found nothing so they pivoted to the toxic white male misogynist angle and lumped him in with the actual pedophiles.

i will also concede that from what i have seen of the doc the network isn't catching enough shite. After all the Ren & Stimpy guy was banging teenagers too

---

Yeah, I'm not buying that of all of Nick's operations in LA, only 3 guys got busted for diddling kids.

If they do a companion piece on Disney, they'll need 20 episodes.

People like Ariana Grande maintaining silence in situations like this coming to light only tell me that whenever happened to her was an acceptable price of admission to get wherever she is now. You saw the same thing with folks who defended Weinstein, because they punched their tickets already.

Which makes them complicit.

They have blood on their hands.
