Sakurai actually called me to tell me that the reason why we haven’t seen any Olympic Games this year, is because we are getting:

Smash Ultimate At The Olympic Games on the switch 2.

The game will also feature Dante from Devil may cry & Knuckles

Just finished Quiet on Set. That was a ride.

Though I do have… thoughts… about it… Dan Schneider definitely forced kids to film lewd material but some of the “examples” they show in the doc are some of the biggest examples of pearl clutching I’ve ever scene.

Given how wildly inappropriate a lot of the victorious scenes get and how none of the cast was sober half the time on it;

It’s not that hard to see that the earlier examples were intentional lewd material. They just got worse over time because Dan knew he could get away with it, so he kept pushing his luck.

So for the most part I can definitely see most of those earlier show examples being 100% intended as innuendos.

Especially when 90s tv was full of that. Look to shows that were animated for example, like Animaniacs. Writers back then were quick and subtle with their dirty humor, something Dan gave up as time went on. Which really began his downfall as people pieced two and two together.

him trying to clear his name with T-Bo doesn’t help. People like Nathan Kress and Jerry Trainor already leaving that Nick life due to the documentary

…while the Ned’s Declassified cast regrettably mocked it as a way to cope

Some of it is definitely bad. But I see people flipping their **** over Ariana putting her toe in her mouth or squeezing that potato and I'm like "this is nothing". Plus all the instances of characters getting slimed. Like, it's a gross out comedy trope. It's not always a *** shot joke.

A couple days ago Matt Bozon was talking about Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution and one thing he said was he really wanted the game to include e-Reader support for it back in the day.

Along with him needing another dev kit to make that happen, it would've been a really bad idea to do so with the e-Reader doing bad numbers in America and talking about a then-struggling IP.

That's the point, there's plausible deniability. Someone can point out how it's weird and the creeps can go "That's not creepy at all! You're just thinking dirty/looking for things to get mad at/etc." to throw any concerned parties off the trail.

People get off to the strangest things, things that may appear innocent to anyone not in the know. And considering we already know this guy is a turbo-freak, you can't discount that other stuff.

You're falling for the oldest trick in the book, dude.

Also the toe in mouth thing is 100% fetish stuff, don't even try me.

OK, yeah it is, but I also see people go absolutely bananas over it like it's the most disgusting thing in the world and I'm just like "good god you'd think they just watched her... put a different body part in her mouth".

From what I remember, a Disney fighting game was briefly pitched years ago, but was scrapped because Disney thought it would hurt their brand to have characters like the princesses fighting each other.

Now that they have Elseworlds-like stuff such as Kingdom Hearts, Lorcana, and other miscellaneus mobile games where the characters fight each other, maybe Disney's upper brass is loosening up on their character restrictions enough to change their minds on getting a piece of the platform fighter pie.
Again, Smash Bros has shown many gaming companies the revenue and popularity of the idea of fighting wish matchups is the biggest imagination for everyone. Even Sakurai previous stated about villager being not possible before Smash 4.
Also, the last spirit wave has arrived. It is spirits from Super Mario Bros Wonder and the upcoming Princess Peach Showtime coming in 3 days.

That's not the point though. What she's doing is arguably not that ridiculous, but the problem comes from the fact that she was directed to do it by a grown man who was clearly getting gratification from it.

You're kind of a seeing the forest for the trees rn.

This 100%, argue about the potato all you want, but giving the fact there’s a literal R word joke in victorious between cat and Robbie; it’s really easily to see, Dan sexualized the hell out of Ariana and that’s not ok, and I say this as someone who else thinks she’s kind of a ***** now. But given what the network put her through, i can see why. She’s probably more jaded by it then she realizes, but can’t do much because it launched her career.

The foot stuff as Noi said was also pure fetish, like Dan doesn’t even hide that.

More importantly the fact scheinder grew his beard out all these years later, definitely gives me the vibes that he does not want to be recognized because he knows he’s cooked.

I'm not saying it's not. It's just to me, a few of the people's reactions, in both the doc and quinton's videos, don't seem to have this nuance in mind and come off kinda kink shamey. Like, when someone see's Ariana put her toe in her mouth and says it's "the most disgusting thing they've ever seen" with no elaboration, you don't exactly get the whole context of "like what you like but it's gross that the fat kid from head of the class forced a minor to act out his perverse fantasies". You kinda just get "feet stuff is the grossest thing of all time". Maybe that's missing the forest through the trees. But maybe people should like... say more than just their initial reactions when talking about this kind of stuff.

When minors are involved I'll kink shame until I'm red in the face.

And I'm black so It's gonna take a while.

Actually thinking on it, all of victorious could get its own documentary because that production was a **** show.

From Jade’s actress being groomed by a writter and now dmcaing anyone who tries to talk about it, to everything with Ariana, to Becks actor saying he was literally not sober at all in the show and doesn’t remember a single thing about filming it, and that most of the cast weren’t sober either, to there being no patentable authority on set, and a bunch of other stuff that’s mainly rumors and speculation, like how they black listed Victoria Justice.

Like that show alone definitely warranted a police investigation tbh.

Let’s also not forget that Nick was ok with them airing this documentary, but wanted to pay Jennete $300k not to speak about her time at the network.

There’s definitely darker skeletons hiding at Nick, and it’s not hard to see where they lay by following the trail.

Wasm't Ariana also a minor when she did all that stuff?

In fact, weren't all the Nick stars minors? And they were forced to to fetish co tent of the pleasure of adults, disguised as gross out humor for kids?

Like idk, you don't earn the benefit of the doubt when it's an open secret the producers are all Epstien Jr.

Yes, yes they were, and what’s worse is as time went on, they made sure less adults were actually on set for these kids.

All of this further taints the good memories I had of watching Drake & Josh and iCarly as a kid.

Those were some of the first live-action sitcoms I got into and actually found funny, not to mention enjoying the more serious storylines they had. Learning just how many of the young actors were hurt while working on these shows and the sheer extent of it is just awful.

You know, I was thinking about what happened to Victoria Justice, she seemed like the next big thing and then just... disappeared. No idea that she was blacklisted.

And on that topic, Sam and Cat might require another one because from my knowledge, it was even worse.

Worst part is Josh seemingly sides with Dan Scheinder and actually hates drake and Josh. Which is crazy because despite the issues he had with production, drake seemed to genuinely try to be his friend and enjoy the show, while Josh ignored anything going around him or didn’t care because he was tired of being the fat funny kid. Which I get sucks, but taking Dan’s side is wild.

It’s not officially confirmed she was blacklisted, but it’s obvious to see that’s what happened.

Basically something went down around the second to last season of Victorius.

Victoria had several kick movies, her own albums and songs, was on several other shows as a headliner of the network, but then come the last season of the show, she’s barely in it at all.


It shifts focus to have more of Jade and cat, and hell they never even gave it a finale. It ended on a random one off episode where sinjin and beck become friends over NASCAR.

No one else really gets a focus by that point and there’s no conclusion to anything. Then the show quietly fades out of existence from the network. It’s widely speculated that due to the fact Victoria tried to get gigs after Nick and couldn’t, that she must have known something and tried to stand up to the abuse and Nick black listed her.

Which makes a lot of sense, as now she just does fashion, when she was on top of the world before. All of a sudden it was all Ariana first and they pretended Victoria never existed

That is horrible. I think the USA should reform how blacklisting works, as we give too much power to businesses.

Say, can someone give me the full details as to what is happening with Nickelodeon or whatever?
It’s a lot but basically goes back to the start of the network and Dan scheinder’s horrendous behavior on set.

A documentary came out recently called quiet on set that is the first official sources to bring these accusations to light and cover the stories, YouTubers picked up on over the past few years, that the network tried to bury.

Sometimes I wonder if people look at me weird for hanging around ya all.


What with me being almost 33. :drsad:
To be fair, there’s a fair share of people quite older than you here. This is just a chill environment to talk about games or the world without the toxicity of other social sites.

That is not good at all. Nickelodeon should get in a lot of legal trouble for this.

They should, but sadly they probably won’t. At best we can hope it leads to more stories told and Dan Scheinder having an official investigation launched, or at least that this never happens at the network again. But I won’t hold my breath.

Like I said, the United States gives too much power to businesses. It's quite sad.

to make the Elizabeth thing worse, she was wanting one of the producers/writers despite being underaged (16 to his 30s)…they are now married
