Creator of Ren and Stimpy Accused of preying on underage girls - Sensationalist Headlines

https://www.buzzfeed.com/arianelange/john-kricfalusi-ren-stimpy-underage-sexual-abuse?utm_term=.txEr4VZ0l#.ynK3oymZ5 The article reads like a story so its better to read it in the article

Yeah,I'm starting to believe that every guy in Hollywood has done something fucked up to women and young girls.

And now anyone with a Ren and Stimpy tattoo starts to rethink their life.

I was wondering when John K. would come up.

Yeah, there have been persistent rumors about him being a creeper for years. Sad to see that they may be true.

It's a little hard to believe when the source is Buzzfeed

Buzzfeed news is legit though. idg the hate, yes they post shitty clickbait articles but the news is pretty okayish and can sometimes be really great investigative journalism stuff.

Seeing as I almost married one of his start up students, there is no rumor about it. He proudly paraded "his girls" around in public, on campus at CalArts, and there were many Interns at Spumco, all public knowledge.

Like if you actually read the article, a ton of effort and research was put into it. This isn't some fucking trashy tabloid shit.

Yes now is the time to start rethinking those tattoos... not back when they got them in the first place, no no.

Not really surprised. John K is infamous for being a temperamental creepoid.

all of your heroes are creeps

Yep, it's confirmed, every celebrity needs to have a tamper proof chastity cage around their genitals which can only be opened by qualified FBI agents on their premises in a dedicated room for consensual legal sex.

How the fuck was he not reported to the police by anyone? I don't understand how anyone can even stand to breath the same air as someone who they know is creeping on children. The relationship was odd to him, but it seemed to be accepted at the studio, where former employees say Kricfalusi fostered a libertine atmosphere in which taking offense was itself offensive. They were making shows with sexual themes; there were raunchy nude drawings on display. Shit like this is why I don't want to work with other people. If creating an environment where people aren't offended by free artistic expression means also creating an environment where people aren't offended by fucking statutory rape, then that environment shouldn't exist. Disgusting.

A lot of it has to do with fear of being ostracized or facing consequences for speaking up, much like a lot of the voices that have been speaking out this past year or so. And now finally action is being taken.

And I thought just Nick's live-action show creators were creeps

It seems that Dan Schneider the large hard-on collider was not the only questionable individual in town.

This honestly doesn't surprise me as he gave off the "total creeper" vibe (assuming this is true of course). There were rumors of this for a while (preying on underaged girls and young women). Like don't get me wrong, John K. is (or at least was) a fantastic artist and animator and was a major player in the 90's animation renaissance. But he had incredibly draconian concepts of his field and treated anyone underneath him like garbage. On a semi-unrelated note, did he ever finish that "Cans Without Labels" animation that he went to Kickstarter for? Or did he just run off with $130,000+?

i backed that, the answer is no

That's disappointing but not surprising. He's notorious for taking extremely long to finish stuff (if he does at all). Nickelodeon back in the day had to really get on him to finish episodes of "Ren and Stimpy". I wonder if anyone has taken to reporting him for not delivering.

"Accused of" this shit's been public knowledge for years now but im so glad Katie & Robyn were brave enough to actually go public with this. the sooner we weed out the scum from positions of power the better

He wasn't the only Big Dick at Nick

They should all take example from the Big Nick at Dick, a taller than average hardworking fellow at Dick's sporting goods.

thigh high succubi does not appreciate your flippant comments on this child sex abuse investigation

Coupled with what I've read on the article, this is beyond appalling. To think that it was an open secret in the studio, that his colleagues pretty much knew about it yet did nothing. They hold a fair share of responsibility over this as well.

yeah this isn't surprising in the least, he did make adult party afterall

Well, you can do that without diddling kids.

Bob Ross is pure, take that back.

don't take fatty arbuckle from me

This is terrible to hear. I still love the show though, just gonna be awkward watching it when I know a total creep was behind it. Still, gotta separate the art from the artist I suppose.
