Maher slaps Nickelodeon hard
“As one of the few people in the public eye who never had children at the end of their lives, someone should tell me why I always have to protect my children,” Maher said. he claimed.
“I don’t even like them, but I think it’s every adult’s job to protect them,” he added.

Maher picked up a lambasting brush and began painting Nickelodeon’s abominations. It wasn’t a studio, it was a Neverland Ranch with craft services,” he shared about the network’s portrayal after watching the series. “It’s just scene after scene of the child stars of the time being subjected to clearly inappropriate and sexual derogation. …I felt sick, so I went camping with John Waters. I went to.”
Maher didn’t stop criticizing Quiet for the content on set. He highlighted the “hypocrisy” that pervades the industry and how it is a “dangerous workplace” for children.

Maher suggested that the “fire” protests against DeSantis revealed a double standard, similar to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ comments about Disney.
“Why is a children’s content factory like Disney so different from a Nickelodeon factory?” the host asked.
And in the words of Willie Sutton, he retorted: “Because that’s where the money is.”
“The reason we find pedophiles on children’s television is because there are children there,” Maher said, adding, “DeSantis wasn’t wrong. We’ve become so tribal now. And if the wrong political party advocates child abuse, the left will support child abuse.”

He went on to say: “Wokeness is no longer an extension of liberalism. It’s more likely that we’ll take something too far and end up with the opposite,” he added, adding, “We’re not teaching our children to hate or criticize people who are different from them.” “We teach them not to do things like that and say, ‘Wow, I’m proud of you for getting there,'” he added. Everything is for that purpose. ” But at some point, inclusion turns into promotion. ”
