      Kricfalusi’s lawyer confirmed that “for a brief time, 25 years ago, he had a 16-year-old girlfriend”, but denied that Kricfalusi’s “avid pursuit” of Rice was sexual harassment or that he had ever possessed child pornography.[100] Kricfalusi released an apology to the women and his fans for his behavior, which he said was motivated by undiagnosed bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as “poor impulse control”.[5] Byrd and Rice criticized Kricfalusi’s statement as a non-apology and an attempt to deflect the blame.[101]

    Isn’t the whole legacy of its creator pretty firmly embedded in the content itself? Like it’s disturbing and without much substance.

    Wasn’t there supposed to be a revival of Ren and Stimpy that wasn’t going to involve the original creator?

      Yes

      Due to the allegations, Kricfalusi will not be involved in Comedy Central’s upcoming revival of The Ren & Stimpy Show, nor will he receive any financial compensation from it.[

        I feel that’s a non starter. What made the show “interesting” was the borderline disturbed humor and fucked up graphicness. I’m not convinced that recipe would work today, we are too uncomfortable with some of the places the show went.
