You said a lot, but what concerns and annoys me is that no good reason is given for why 15 year old bikini shoots are as good as a headshot to them.
Pizzagate is already legitimate. It didn't need her statements to make it so.
As for being a fan of the show -- absolutely. No one ever really denies Dan Schneider is a genius when it comes to producing these shows, just that he's a creep with some accusations levied against him (that don't make him guilty on their own) as well as an over exposure of his foot fetish using young teen models as the content.
The foot fetish is harmless, but points to further motives beneath the surface that reinforces the allegations against him. Why teen feet, why so often, why so prominent?
It's all over iCarly. It's all over Zoey 101. I can distinctly remember several episodes of his shows where it is prominently and specifically featured (heh) on display.
And again, it's not about the foot fetish but the sexualization of kids. Especially hiding that sexualization under an innocent facade that will never be able to be removed because it's not specifically pornography.
The fact that it has always been so prominent sends up smoke, and often where there is smoke there is fire.
He knows how to appeal to a wide audience. As a businessman and producer that is absolutely worth acknowledging. But there is definitely something underneath.
