I feel like Dan was bullied growing up and didn’t feel like girls liked him. So when he got a little bit of power he exploited and controlled every girl and woman that came into his life. He is sick

[@jimmyrustler8983]

I was bullied growing up. Never had attention from girls in school, or my parents for that matter. Had fights almost every day in school. I'd never make anyone feel the way I was made to feel. I'm no people pleaser, but I'm kind and courteous to everyone. Dan's the antithesis of that, I've seen it happen to so many people. Hell, I've even had to work for people like him. The sad truth to it that shitty behaviour like theirs gets results in the form of dollars. We need to put a stop to it.

[@amylee8969]

@Devonbroyles I feel that way too. He resents kids and females b/c he was hurt and rejected by them (probably for being the “fat” awkward kid). In his twisted mind, he thinks all kids/girls should suffer like he suffered. Still no excuse for his behavior though.

[@elih6087]

I also feel like this is why he acts like "one of the kids". He was probably never seen as cool so he would then try to hang out with all these kids, acting like one of them to feel popular, to be a part of the cool kids.

To be fair, there were cuts in between. He started to well up as he was saying something, so they kept that in, but probably cut out the part where he calms himself down. They probably understood that keeping the crying in would be seen as manipulative (even though this whole thing is manipulative tbh) but if I was editing a video I would probably cut it the same way

@KandyRenee it doesn’t look highly edited. There’s one segment that switches cameras, and that’s about it. Prior to that cut, he’s already ceased the crying pretty quickly.

[@genepopa6905]

I noticed that comments are disabled on his video, so apparently he does not want to hear any criticism of his remarks. I watched it, and I noticed how earnestly sincere he comes across throughout. He is also incredibly polished; he doesn't seem to be reaching for any words, or taking a few moments to process how he should respond to a question. It comes across as him knowing exactly what he he is going to say before he's even asked the question. For all we know, he wrote the questions himself. In other words, it reeks of being scripted. And he's extremely selective of what issues he's willing to address. He repeatedly makes his pitch that, in essence, he was simply overworked and short-tempered, and he said and did some impertinent things, and that he owes some people some apologies (he hasn't even apologized to anyone in the years since his sacking?!?). But on the more serious allegations, the questions aren't even raised, so he isn't put in the uncomfortable position of having to provide any answers. And as the executive producer, I find it very hard to believe he played no role whatsoever in what his staff people were paid. He did argue that it's supposedly perfectly normal in television for two writers to split one salary, and claimed that it happened multiple times in his writers' rooms. However, I've read recently that apparently that's not true, it is in fact very illegal. I should hope the SWG pursues this matter with both Schneider and Nickelodeon, and ensures that writers are properly and lawfully paid for their work.

[@Imbigdead]

The age old phrase. He's not sorry about what he did, he's just sorry he got caught

[@amylee8969]

I think he was more upset and butthurt about people not liking the content in his shows than what he put the kids through. It was more like “How dare you not like my shows that I worked hard to make, that hurts my feelings.”

[@levii6126]

I got so mad at the end when he said “there should be a therapist there to make sure the kid really wants to be on tv and understands what’s going to happen”. Are you kidding me? No child would expect to be subjected to sexual harassment on a TV show. It wasn’t never about the kids not actually wanting to be on TV, it’s about YOU manipulating children on YOUR tv show. He tried to make it sound like they should’ve expected what happened. Literally victim blaming.

I can’t decide if he didn’t watch the docuseries at all and/or he’s just trying to gaslight everyone about what happened. Like. We all saw those parents give their testimonies. One child was FIRED because his mom was raising too many questions, and that’s when the parents knew not to make waves. But sure. Blame the parents. And to be fair, in some, probably most, cases the parents ARE disgusting scum (like Jennette McCurdy’s mother) but there WERE good, strong, loving, caring parents that were looking out for their children, and these predators pushed them out the way. The parents who were concerned DID raise concern, and they were silenced.

[@Amberlyn520]

I’m sorry , but both Dan, the parents, and the executives were exploiting kids. Even the women that were sharing the salary. They were writers ✍️ and knew the show was meant for kids. It all came down to money 💵 and exploitation. Being selfish! Put yourself in the parents shoes and if you saw with your own eyes what was happening why would you as a responsible and loving parent continue to let your child do sexually suggestive material for money. That’s crazy. They were the adults! They were in charge of the outcomes of their children’s well being.

Dan basically says he wants to apologize... but never actually does. If he really meant it, he'd reach out to each and every person in the doc, and even those that weren't. He hasn't. He's already built his empire and he comes off as if he currently has no shame about anything he did. Cut the jokes out? The damage has already been done. My heart absolutely breaks for Drake Bell and what he went through. I couldn't watch his interview without crying my eyes out. The fact that his father had his suspicions and it happened anyway, especially when he warned Drake's mother and she simply didn't listen... omg 😢💔 She failed her son, point blank. A year and 4 months is *NOT LONG ENOUGH* for what Brian Peck did to him!!! I also cried when they found all the child porn and a child's undergarment in Jason Handy's house and what he wrote in his journal. Absolutely disgusting and horrifying. And Boogie.... you say you can't speak on anyone's journey, but then you go and speak about Amanda? 🧐 If you can't speak on another's journey.... why are you conducting this interview? Why not go to the victims and ask them if they'd care to speak further about their journey? You literally praise Dan for the work he's done, including the success of the black actors. What about those black actors that were treated poorly and those that had to go to therapy? Screw them, right? Disgusting. You gave him the opportunity to paint himself in a better light. Dan and his fake tears played you like a fiddle and you don't even see it smh. The *ONLY THING* I can agree with is suggesting a therapist on set. Some kids might not know how to tell their parents they don't feel comfortable, safe, or they're not interested in the industry. A therapist might be able to pick up on subtle body language clues and can tell when something is wrong. Kids need a lot more protection than that though... asking parents to leave the room while the adults speak to them is highly unacceptable. No minors should be left alone in a room full of adults. This whole thing makes me sick... especially when Brian got a job at Disney after all of this. What in the actual fk?? I'm officially *DONE* with Disney! Hearing some of my favorite childhood celebrities defended a child predator is absolutely mind boggling to me. Seeing adults actually victim blame a *CHILD* and claiming the adult was the victim is in a whole different world of its own. I've caught small glimpses of shows on Nickelodeon here and there and I just never understood what people saw in them. They simply weren't funny, imo. I'm deeply sorry to each and every one of you that suffered at the hands of Dan Schneider, Brian Peck, Jason Handy, Cody Longo, Marty Weiss, and Ezell Channel. Watching this doc and this interview was hard, I can't even imagine having to actually live through it. You all have my deepest sympathy and I wish you all nothing but healing and happiness.

He's suing because he has a fragile ego (hence the abuse and temper tantrums when people ever questioned his authority) and wants to silence the victims (again) the makers of the platform that boosted their voices (makers of the documentary).

"If I would have known back then, I would have changed it." You always knew what you were doing, Dan.

You knowingly SEPARATED children from their legal guardians, the ONLY ones who could (and you knew potentially WOULD, have they known) protect and remove them from that enviroment, JUST TO CONTINUE THE SHOW. A child can't emotionally take that information like an adult could. A child can't proceed to take action in that situation. THE PARENTS AND GUARDIANS needed to be primarily informed of that, and you deliberately withheld that from them. They only knew because of rumours and then the news. And guess what? Not only did it happen that time, but it did again. AND THEN AGAIN. 3 child predat*rs on the set, guess what (who) the common denominator is here! But yeah, pressuring a female coworker to scream "I'M A SL*T!" in a room full of people by threatening to put her job on the line if not totally comes out of naiveness of being a boss for the first time!

By doing so she's opened the discussion up to being a battleground for a culture war because she feels the need to espouse blatant racism and sexism with victim's accounts. Imagine how damaging it would be to hear, after being sexually abused at a young age, that you are inherently part of the problem because you have white skin and XY chromosomes.
