Velma Is A Disaster

[camiii]

its so ironic that this new show has them as sexualized high schoolers dealing drugs meanwhile the original scooby doo taught actual morals like catching bad guys and being a good friend.

As a child I loved Velma but now that they've made her rude and racist it's awful she doesn't even seem like Velma.

[xmimi_kyuu]

as an asian myself, what the actual hell did they do our childhood?

[therightside]

As an Indian myself i hate what they did to Velma we don't want an Indian version of Velma either

[caitlyn_ambrose]

As an Indian, I think a whole bunch of us don’t claim Mindy Kaling. She has thrown away her heritage to appease the woke folk and that’s her problem.

[bucketofsunshine]

The five seconds worth of clips in this short is already more of this show than I can take.

[loveactually]

As a liberal democrat, I really hate the fact they did this. They should have made this about Velma's backstory instead of a Riverdale-like mystery.

[alisalman]

I miss the days when people made tv shows/cartoons that weren’t SOO obsessed with being woke and left leaning. Those were the days when people of all races, ethnicities, sexualities, political spectrums etc could just enjoy pure entertainment without having to worry about race, sexuality etc.

This might explain why Scooby ain't there, they'd need to cast a talking Great Dane to voice the role.

[August-gwhz]

If they wanted diversity, they should’ve created a new show, with new characters and a new plot line. People need to stop changing shows that we already classics.

[ryanstokes]

as a Scooby Doo fan i confirm that Velma is offensive

[awordindueseason]

If Shaggy ain't a white skinny hippie then it ain't my Shaggy.

[equiyazahhak]

The fact they made the stoner character black is low-key racist

[lunaticberserker]

Easy. These companies thrive on controversy. We all talked about it (At least heard about it). It reached mainstream.
Next time they put forced crap like this, don't give it attention, let it fade away.

[alexvineyard]

I’m pretty sure Scooby is like the first character to be gender and specie swapped. I didn’t ever think that would be a thing.

[livedream]

They could have just as easily chosen different names and change the clothes (even just the color of the clothes) and made their own show. It might have actually done well on it's own, or fail miserably like it is now. They didn't have to ruin an existing show.

[MegaDirtyberty]

Good grief, way to go destroying a popular cartoon, go woke go broke.

[DakkogiRauru]

Velma is not a show. It’s a standup comedy gig posing as a show

[Honkykong]

A wise man once said “Everything woke turns to shit. “

[ashikjayamon]

As an Indian, I am deeply disturbed by Mindy Kaling's offensive misuse of a cartoon that I really loved, twisting it into a tool for her manipulative and pretentious woke propaganda.
