Honestly, my knowledge of Victorious only goes as far as Quinton Reviews, which is very bloated - you can ignore the parts you don't want to watch. His intermissions within intermissions were just his way of pushing other content he wanted to do but was stuck in some weird quest to finish the 9 videos he did, only mentioning Schneider in one video.

Schneider being a creep just shows he shouldn't be working with kids, teenagers, and many consenting adults in general. The people around him were weirdos.

Here's my theory: the sexual innuendos, while funny occasionally, were supposed to be aimed at the parents. The sexual content (them wearing bikinis, the foot stuff), in addition to themselves, were aimed at boys and girls who were going through their sexual awakening. It's pretty disgusting looking back on Schneider's content which got more brazen as time went on. I watched iCarly as a kid, if I still watched Nickelodeon I would have been the prime demographic for that. In the interest of ratings... why this needed grown-ass adults to hit on Beck, Tori and Jade so often is beyond me.

Having recently ended up with my wife's 15 year old cousin living with us, it is very sadly accurate. Even when we are out with her, guys of all ages try and hit on her, she just accepts it as 'normal'.. and that's even sadder.

The Quinton series really was a great look at the whole franchise, even if you could remove 5hr+ from the intermissions where he talks about the toys, video games, etc.

The rumors about Schneider being a creep were around even before Victorious with rumors of his pool parties were constantly dismissed as fake and any victim was accused of attention seeking. It's great that people are FINALLY taking it seriously but the Quinton series was the first time I've watched iCarly since the finale so it was a weird look at just how bold he got. Back when he was doing All That and Amanda Show, it was all pretty normal but iCarly really started to showcase his kinks and interests.
