Hokey smokes!

Holy shit, this is incredibly disturbing. Everything with Jason, and the
little girls. The baggies. I feel ill.

I only knew Dan from "Head of the Class" and didn't realize he was the same Dan
Schneider/Nickelodeon. 

And Dan Schneider, and his intense power and control. The stuff the women who
wrote for the shows had to say about working for him, the harassment and
degrading things they were made to do and say.

Also, his intense involvement in Amanda Bynes' life, to the point where he's
actively helping her to emancipate herself from her parents. WHY THE FUCK
DOES A TV PRODUCER HAVE THIS MUCH INVOLVEMENT IN A TEEN GIRL'S LIFE LIKE
THAT?

Just. God. Seeing all these clips and photos of him with Amanda in such
close, intimate settings...and then you think about how much she spiralled in
the following years...it's CHILLING. We're seeing a full on grooming in real
time here.

And we're not even going to get into the John Waye Gacy shit with Brian that
they're talking about now 'cause WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?

I didn't watch a lot of the shows Dan worked on, but I had no idea that he'd
worked on "All That" and "Kenan and Kel" back in the day. Or "What I Like
About You", I do remember watching that show on occasion back in the day. I'd
heard about some of the rumors involving him in recent years, but damn, these
details are horrifying.

And then of course black kids are being marginalized, and girls are being
judged on their appearance when they're just barely into puberty, and my god,
I just feel like I need a shower now. Ugh. UGH.
