Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

John Kricfalusi, creator of Ren & Stimpy. That man is a demon.

The Rick & Morty guy kind of ruined his show, too.

New season with replaced voice actor is really good.

Tldr. Basically, he was a piece of shit tyrant edgelord who kept trying to push boundaries and didn't quite understand humor. His show was only made good by everybody around him trying to rein him in and fix his fuck ups. Also for good measure, he's a sex pest.

I once met Bob Camp in Atlantic City in 2015 and he told me this whole story. He said he hated JohnK and that he was possibly the most deranged person he had ever met. He then told me that the only thing that came out of this that was good in the end was SpongeBob.

Sick Little Monkeys: The Unauthorized Ren & Stimpy Story is the book that he referred me to if I wanted more details.

Watched a documentary about him recently and it seems like he was using the show/animation staff as therapy, which is incredibly wrong.

Sweet didn't know this was made! I would also recommend Sick Little Monkeys by Thad Komorowski if you are interested in the behind the scenes stuff.

Didn't know all this about him. Not surprised. It was so gross, God knows how it informed our development. It's really uncomfortable to watch as an adult. And my goodness - did you watch the adult version when they brought it back years ago? Jfc
