The Disturbing Nickelodeon Iceberg

For a lot of the comments telling me of things I missed. Instead of replying to them all I will mention a lot of them are ones that I deemed "too well known" for this list. However there were some very interesting ones that I havent heard of that you guys have mentioned. Thanks so much for the help and the support. I will most likely be making more of these in the future! :)

They're too scared to give Dan Schneider a restraining order because of how excited he'd get at the mention of "500 feet"

It is sad how SpongeBob went from being just an ordinary Nicktoon, to Nickelodeon’s life-support. If they end SpongeBob, Nickelodeon will most likely shut down.

The sad part is Nickelodeon offered Jennette McCurdy $300,000 to stay quiet about her interactions with Dan Schneider. She refused and talks about it in her book “I’m glad my mom died”. She refers to him as the creator. I just finished the book this morning and I feel so bad for her as she suffered things she shouldn’t have from both her mom forcing her into acting and Dan giving her coffee mixed with alcohol as a minor

That Rugrats storyboard was beyond disturbing. It really makes you wonder just how many creeps were working at Nickelodeon.

Dan Schneider got a bit too excited when Nick put their foot down

The older I've gotten the more I've realized that anyone involved in Children's programming is definitely suspect

The fact Disney hired Brian Peck to work with and around children right after he was released from jail speaks a lot on them as well

I've been in animation classes and have worked on comics. You would be surprised how often these story board jams get out of hand. Like there's always that one artist who thinks the more shocking it is, the funnier it is. In reality, it's just uncomfortable

Corey Feldman was right. Child predators are everywhere in children’s media.

I wish I could say Schneider was fired for being a creep but it was really because his shows weren't as profitable anymore and he yelled at bunch of execufives in a meeting. Nick doesn't care if their employees are creeps.

A few things 1- I hate how most of the show I grew up on had a lot of creeps or abuse behind them. 2- I hate that he’s using being bipolar as a cover for being a creep. I’m bipolar and never once even and will never do anything like that.

i went to that Nickelodeon resort in like 2013 and it was *horrible*, there were people in huge dora and spongebob costumes and it was so scary, the pools were also super small with a bunch of people in them and the slime bucket was just colored water. i recently went again in the summer of 2021 and it no longer has Nickelodeon’s name attached to it but the same issues still stand lmao

Fun fact: There was one guy who worked for Nickelodeon that was caught on Chris Hansen's "To Catch a Predator". They caught him and aired the episode for all to see.

The sad part is that Nickelodeon, in its years leading up to their golden age was all about producing innovative and experimental programming and gave kids a space to be messy and subversive. They were "cool, alternative" counterpart to Disney. The problem is that they became a victim of their own success, milking what they believed was working and became afraid to take chances. It's sad that these days they're most known for being the "SpongeBob" channel.

Somebody needs to check the hard drive of those people that worked on the storyboard jam immediately

Respect to bro for breaking this 2 years before everyone else

There’s another murder case that‘s connect to a Nickelodeon cartoon. Randy Stair (Andrew Blaze). Basically this guy had an extremely unhealthy obsession with Ember Mclain, one of the antagonists from Danny Phantom. He was so obsessed with her, to the point where he thought she was a real person, and he saw her as this “Goddess”, believing that she understands him or something. He created a bunch of OCs for a cartoon he made called Ember’s Ghost Squad (basically just recolors of Ember but in different clothes, different hair color, etc..), the stuff he made for the cartoon were pretty messed up and dark, just full on edgy. He believed that he was part of this squad, where once you die, you turn into a ghost girl. He later shot up the supermarket he worked at, killing 3 of his co workers before turning the gun on himself. The fact that Ember’s ability to control people with music makes this case even more disturbing, considering that Randy listened to her song for hours nonstop.

Kurt Cobain walking into a studio to make a song for ren and stimpy is so 90’s

You know what's sad? My parents taught me that you can redeem yourself if you own your faults and apologize. But true sorrow doesn't always do that, does it? If Dan remorsefully apologized to his actors, he would still be unforgivable. Sometimes your past and mistakes do define you, don't they?
