→Live-Action TV: Mitigating the Power Rangers example. I didn't write the original Power Rangers example - someone else on FANDOM did, and I think they just added another sentence to it without changing the previous sentence. Hence the line 'the investigation is still ongoing'.

== [[Comic Books]] ==
* [[Hergé]], creator of ''[[The Adventures of Tintin]]'', worked for a newspaper in the 1940s which collaborated with the Nazis. In fairness, he later renounced his ties with Fascism.
** During the 1930s one of his colleagues at his newspaper office was Léon Degrelle, who later would become the leader of the Belgian Rex Party, who collaborated with Nazi Germany.
Line 52:
* [[Bill Cosby]] was a beloved comedian for decades. If people weren't familiar with his standup, surely they knew him from decades of television, from ''I Spy'' in the late 60s to his children's shows ''Picture Pages'' and ''[[Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]'' in the 70's and 80's (as well as frequent appearances on ''[[The Electric Company]]''). His career and fame reached new levels with ''[[The Cosby Show]]'' in the late 80's and early 90's. Then in late 2014 came the allegations of drugging and raping dozens of women at various points throughout his career, and generations of people who had loved his standup or his various television shows were shocked and horrified by the disturbing allegations.
* William Hartnell, the first Doctor of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', was said to be disturbingly racist at times by a number of people, including co-stars Nicholas Courtney (Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart) and Anneke Wills (Polly). Anneke Wills recounted Hartnell's objections to Earl Cameron being cast in the serial "The Tenth Planet", and how she and co-star Michael Craze (Ben Jackson) were disturbed by Hartnell's disrespectful attitude toward Cameron on the basis of his skin color.
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'': Ricardo "Rick" Medina Jr., who was best for the roles of [[Power Rangers Wild Force|Cole Evans]] and [[Power Rangers Samurai|Deker]], was arrested in 2015 for fatally stabbing his roommate Joshua Sutter with a katana. He was later released, but the investigation
* ''[[Kamen Rider Super-1]]'': Shunsuke Takasugi, who portrays Kazuya Oki, the eponymous Rider of the series, was revealed to have swindled money (50 million yen) from his fans in 2013, and has since disappeared from the public eye since 2017.
* A milder example: If you ever saw [[The Muppets]] characters being performed by their puppeteers it can be very shocking to actually view with your own eyes they aren't real at all.
Line 81:
* ''[[Der Fuehrer's Face]]'': Even though this is an anti-Nazi cartoon produced as a propaganda film during the Second World War it features [[Donald Duck]] in a Nazi uniform, saluting [[Adolf Hitler]] for most of the film. Even though it eventually turns out to be a nightmare it is still pretty disturbing. And this official Disney cartoon even won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short!
* All the direct-to-video sequels to some of their most beloved and classic films that Disney released in the 2000s. Every quality film you used to enjoy now has an inferior (sometimes ''vastly'' so) sequel.
** And then the Live Action Remakes in the 2010s and 2020s make that every quality animated film you enjoyed has now a competently produced but still inferior remake.
* [[Bugs Bunny]]'s racial slurs in the anti-Japanese World War II cartoon "Bugs Bunny Nips The Nips" (1944) where he violently defeats many Japanese soldiers and at one point even names them "monkey face" and "slant eyes".
** His brief transformation into an Afro-American singer in the cartoon "Any Bonds Today?" (1942) has also been viewed as shockingly racist, while Bugs actually imitates singer [[Al Jolson]], who was known for his blackface make-up while performing.
