Okay, I think it's finally time to open THAT can of worms...

Do you think the ongoing rumors about Dan being a pedophile have any merit to them?

On the one hand, I have seen a LOT of instances where Dan has been a teensy bit more friendly than normal with his female cast members in both clips and pictures. I think I can name an individual example for almost every young girl he's ever worked with. He always chooses interesting angles to film from; often focusing on butt and other places (as seen in the Zoey 101 pilot, iFight Shelby Marx and the Victorious episode, Wi-Fi in the Sky). And of course, especially nowadays, Dan has a habit of over-sexualizing his female stars. This was seen quite a bit in iCarly and Victorious, and there were even complaints back in the day that Dan was oversexualizing underaged girls in Zoey 101 (12 and 13 year olds were dressing like 16+ women). There is certainly a lot of this going on in S&C but at least the two leads are now legal adults which is why he is probably able to get away with ut more. Dan always seems to end up with notoriously attractive casts on any given show and he's only had one main show (D&J) where there have been male leads (it makes me think that maybe there were some complaints that led to him creating Henry Danger).

Now, I don't think Dan necessarily empregnanted Amanda Bynes or Jamie Lynn Spears but these rumors have to start somewhere right?

On the other hand, maybe it's like Buttersock said and he's just trying to be a fatherly figure to these kids. Especially since he strangely has none of his own. It strikes me as exceptionally odd that he would be in the business for so long and NO former child star would come forward. Even if he paid them large sums of cash it still seems suspicious that they wouldn't at least look more scarred.

What do you guys think? Does he give off the pedo vibes or is he just a caring father figure?
