I'm shocked that a man who worshipped, idolized and was mentored by a thieving psychopath would turn out to be like that. Bakshi or Clampett? |

John K was always a scummy ass that was and is inexplicably worshiped among certain subsets of animation fans. I echo the "Not particularly surprised" crowd.

He has made his mark in animation industry, being one of the people bringing an end to strictly toy commercial cartoons of the old. but he definitely isn't someone young animators should look up to. EVEN if he wasn't accused of sexual abuse. he was a scum before the accusations and is even bigger scum now.. i'm there with you in the "not particular surprised" crowd |

Ren & Stimpy was one of my favorites when I was a kid. It's a shame that I now have to know it was created by a monster. Join the club. John K was a genius when it came to drawing and bringing to life a cartoon, and a truly abominable human being. There is one episode of Ren & Stimpy, created after he left, which consisted of scenes based on real life incidents involving John K. |

....
...you know what was a really good cartoon? Animaniacs.
To be serious, this is genuinely upsetting to hear. I had issues with John K's attitudes in the past regarding modern cartoons, but this is a far more troubling situation than just debating the merits of drawings.

Keeps ranting about how bad animators keep getting, claims Trey Parker and Matt Stone stole one of his ideas, and listen to this, language warning though: |

.... ...you know what was a really good cartoon? Animaniacs. And guess who slandered that once? He also had a weird hatred for The Real Ghostbusters (going back to when he worked on the Mighty Mouse cartoon). Ironically, Bob Camp (who of course later worked on R&S) loved the show and the character designs in paticular. |

Seems now there is a few exes of John K claiming they seen CP on John K's computer.
Also keep seeing references to the creator of Ranma 1/2 being busted for CP recently.

I really can't remotely claim to be surprised. It's a pretty open secret that the guy's a total ass.

Rurouni Kenshin, you're thinking of, not Ranma 1/2. Rumiko Takahashi has not been busted for CP, to my knowledge, thank Christ. Nobuhiro Watsuki is the Rurouni Kenshin creator, and was arrested for possession and if I remember, did not deny it and freely admitted it when caught. |

Watsuki being busted for CP possession was heartbreaking enough. I think it'd be even worse if Takahashi got busted, too, especially with her going out of her way NOT to sexualize underaged characters compared to some other Japanese mangaka and animators. |

(language) This video features one of the women who are accusing him, and her mannerisms tell the story. Oh god that would've been uncomfortable to watch even without knowing about his scumminess. I remember seeing that video years ago and thinking she seem creeped out by him. He creeped me out too. |
