#1 is doing the show for the children: they love when it feels risqué and adult-y.
#2 is doing the show to get parents’ trust.
Ive read through this entire thread and I still don’t know who or what this is referring to.
Let me know if you find out lol
I think left is Bryke (Bryan Konietzko and Michael DeMartino), the creators of Avatar the Last Airbender.
Right is probably that foot guy. Dan Schneider. I don’t know if he’s a pedo or not, but he’s certainly a bit creepy.
Not convicted of anything, if you watch that show on Nickelodeon pedophiles then he comes out as a really good guy (to the kids, he sucks to the adults). He was the only one who offered to help Drake after he was raped and he didn’t push anything
But his shows were sexually suggestive and involved kids so it can’t be him
Not surprising Schneider would have Drakes back. Drake was his cash cow. This occurred between the Amanda Show and Drake and Josh, and Peck got arrested during the latter’s run. Bell was Schneider’s bottom bitch, Peck overstepped.
Now that I know what I’ve read, I wouldn’t be surprised if Schneider is the left, but he still gives me some vibes.
But Avatar doesn’t have a lot of blood or any sexual themes. While Schneider’s shows had really weird scenes putting children in sexually suggestive situations. I also don’t know anything about the creators of Avatar becoming bodyguards
There’s at least one sexual joke in Avatar, when Sokka is “expecting” Suki to come to his tent and Zuko comes instead.

But yeah probably not bodyguards, and afaict far from retiring. Last I had heard they are trying to massively expand the Avatar universe, after walking away from Netflix for creative differences.
I was really just trying to think of the best and worst creators from Nickelodeon.
Unfortunately didn’t apply to the creator of Ren & Stimpy.
…do I want to read this?

I don’t know why I still get disappointed when I find out someone is a shitheel.
sigh
He’s completely responsible for sabotaging his own career. Difficult to work with, allergic to deadlines, and a weirdo sex pest.
One made things he likes himself that happened to be for kids, but is otherwise a regular guy.
The other one really likes kids stuff, a bit too much even.
Then you have Dan Shneider
Reminds me of the South Park guys.
Hey, one of them clearly knew kids a lot better than the other.
What does that make Mr. Rogers
He was too busy being good to everyone around him to have time for anything else.
I wrote in another comment, but if you examine his life, he was NOT a conformist. My favorite thing about his unconventional style was that he knew he needed a radical music program but had enough humility to know he needed someone else to direct it (he was a very talented musician). So he found the local and famous jazz club pianist and directed him to play whatever sort of music he desired. Johnny Costa, one of my personal icons, was very confused at first because he thought his music would be far too advanced or technical for a children’s show. And if you watch the show, you will notice that he plays every single song in a unique way, every single time. Can you imagine that? Playing the same music for 30 years and almost never playing the same thing. He was an absolute master of not hitting the note that your brain expected him to play, yet still playing enough to resolve and release the tension of the melody. It really is beautiful music.
Whoa, tangent. But seriously, MR was a rebel and the highest calibre of person that Pittsburgh has to offer.
Only thing I don’t like about it is the visual representation of the villain as a cleancut man with glasses and the good guy as a short haired chubby dude.
You know what a pedophile looks like? Literally anybody.
