Reply to comment by Elons_a_distraction in Mindy Kaling did not create or write Velma. Why is she taking so much heat? by [deleted]

Yeah, I mean it’s not the best ever but it’s not nearly as bad as the pile of negative reviews would imply.

Honestly, I don't have to watch the show or read the reviews to see exactly what's going on. The show probably is bad, but is 100% getting dog-piled (and more likely brigaded) because it's "too woke."

It's especially funny to me for a series like Scooby Doo. If you don't like it fine, there's literally like 50 years of almost continuous episodes and series of varying qualities and tones. And let's be real, the original show isn't exactly mindblowing, it's just fun nostalgia. I just can't imagine caring that much about it.

lol of course always. Shit thing can't just be shit. It's always the racists fault.

So therefore it's never the racists' fault? Come on, like it's really that hard to believe that the extreme pushback on this show isn't motivated by a lot more than simply people not finding it funny.

It's getting an extreme pushback because the creators shit on an established beloved IP

Pretending to care about Scooby Doo is cringe.

Nobody said anything about racists until you did. For a show to have that low of a score on every platform with that high amount of reviews, yes it’s been brigaded.
