After this, I'm done. So apparently, it was now stated that Savino apologized for the sexual harassment allegations, citing how he was trying to "uplift a culture and cultivate a culture of respect." I do commend him for owning up to his mistakes, but I firmly believe that he shouldn't work for any section of the animation industry again. Look, don't get me wrong; I love the Loud House, but if anything, many fans are too obsessed with the show. This man had been accused or committing sexual harassment for years, as well as threatening to blacklist any woman who didn't conform to hsi demands. This guy had deleted his social media sometime after he was accused, which only made his actions even more shady....I'm sorry. I just don't think he deserves to be reinstated. With that whole "trying to uplift colleagues and cultivating a new culture," I can't help but find that hollow. This man was stated to have done this for years. Don't tell me after all those years in the animation industry he had no idea that what he was doing was wrong. That's like if I robbed a bank and then apologized by saying "I had no idea that I stole hard earned cash from a working man, and thus he and his family are suffering."

With the Loud House....yes, it feels odd to not have Savino over the show, but I feel that it's because some fans are heavily obsessed with the show, they just can't accept that someone that they look up to could do such a thing. I admit that's probably why I was skeptical of the claims in the first place. Ever since the Loud House debuted, it made me hopeful that Nickelodeon would get better content, and that in a way, Savino "saved" the network. So to realize that Savino may not be as good of a person as I initially thought, it unnerved me. I did want it to be false, but after more evidence piled up, I came to the conclusion that he must've been devious. I am saying that I forgive him for acknowledging that what he had done was wrong, but I do not pity him. He had done this awful stuff for years and just because he happened to make a great show does not cover it. I'll still love the show, but I sternly believe that he is either blacklisted from the industry, or that he deserves everything that he had gotten.
