the powerful person understood the talent and capability of the less powerful. The mentoring was good. Except Katie Rice can never really be sure whether Kricfalusi took interest in her because of her raw talent, or because she was a very young girl who looked up to him. In this specific aspect, I see parallels to the situation with Dan Harmon and Megan Ganz. Ganz was an adult, but there was a huge power dynamic at play in their professional relationship. While Harmon was interested in her romantically, he praised her work. Once she made it clear she wasn't interested, he became his (usual) caustic, over-critical self. And with that came a lot of doubt as to which was the truth. Would Kricfalusi have done the same if he weren't interested in her that way? The women here will never truly know, and that can add salt to the wounds.
