    Given the original image is Greta and UA harbors a special hatred for a teen who hasn't done anything except call out the stupidity of environmental damage, taken in combination with his Anita Sarkeesian comments, one might easily conclude he just hates uppity women.

    The correct answer is: People who feel so strongly that everyone should live by their opinions that they put actual effort into undermining individual free will.

    nope... the MSPaint work was uncanny valley territory and totally had me convinced.

    thanks for straightening that out. The idea that Scooby gang headed stormtroopers exist had me pooping my poutine .

    I'm gonna buy this. You'd need to be sexually mature to be afraid of anyone stealing possible mates from you.

    And, if FF's case, of the same species.

    So, after 4 pages the only actual problem with this show is that Velma is officially gay and they used a brown crayon to draw her and that bothers racist and homophobic adults.

    So if you are not a right wing terrorist snowflake it is harmless and kids you know might enjoy it? Sounds about like what I would expect.

    I mean, the jokes are pretty bad and it's just an overall mid AF TV show in general.

    The CHUDs happened to stumble into being on the right side of the culture war on this one,for all the wrong reasons and people who didn't like Kaling's brand of humor already seemed to have jumped on the bandwagon to nail their 95 thesis to the probervial church door. :shrug:

    No, the problem is that it’s badly written, unfunny, puerile crap. But carry on.

    This whole thing is so stupid. Scooby is a young kids toon. That is why the humor does not connect with adults. That is why we make fun of the scooby humor that we laughed at when we were kids. It is completely formulaic, and predictable, but when I was young I loved it.

    The only people who hate that Velma is too brown or a lesbian are the same perverts who sexualize candy based mascots. It is so pathetic. This whole argument is stupid.

    It is scooby doo. It is made for really young kids. Perhaps they are trying to get to young adults, and even then it is not meant to be shakespeare.

    My question is how much of it have you watched? If you have watched it then it is probably biased hate watch considering. You are a noted right wing CHUD looking for the horrors of wokeness.

    This is the problem with adults assuming kids watch programs for the same reasons. I loved MLP, but I am sure I love it for different reasons than my niece because she is a kid.

    You care far more about this shit than kids do, and it is all because of hate. Kids shows fail all the time because kids do not like them. Most often it is because they are written to indoctrinate rather than to entertain kids. I am willing to admit this might be the case with this, but if kids like it then it does it's job.

    ....you watched the old show, right?
    It was utter dogshit until the 00's when gen-x started writing the new movies.
    Anyone who says the 60's/70's/80's ones were great has nostalgia goggles you could turn the sun into a death-laser with.

    The reality is gay and brown characters do not tank a series because kids do not care. It might even improve popularity through variety and inclusion. The only people pitching a fit are the racists, religious, and prejudiced homophobes. They are mad because by having positive likable representation goes against their fearmongering, mockery, and lying. If the only representation of a gay black woman is some secondary character that is freaky and looks like diamond and silk then it fits the scary comical stereotype. The only gay black female trans character they love are the shaneyney from martin type. They did not watch that show, but they love to throw that depiction around as what every black gay woman should be.

    Now you have the lead character in a traditional role who is likable and interesting and they lose their shit because kids might see GLBT and black diversity in a positive light.

    I am sorry this is in media central, but OMG why am I not surprised it pisses @Lanzman off too. The reality is every time the loud asshole racist gayphobic rightwinger leaves the guys who were silent behind them have to step up the abuse. I got here and everyone told me oldfella was not so bad, but once a bunch of people left or got banned he could not let the racism and homophobia just die. @Paladin was another one who people did it. The boy wasn't so bad until he had to take up the lead. Now we are here watching Lanz who cannot let the racist homophobia not be piled on by just the boy and UA.

    It gets a little old.

    Well, gee, I’m sorry I’m not fawning over the latest regurgitated horse shit from someone looking to bastardize an existing and much-loved IP. Guess I’ll just go hang my head in shame for not being sufficiently appreciative of creatively bankrupt garbage. How ever will I go on?

    I repeat, the "much-loved IP" sucked donkeys until Gen-X fixed it.
    Let Gen-Z "ruin" it; Gen-A1 will just fix it again.

    Do you actually think that will be something a child will care about? I actually think that UA, FF, and Lanz feel that brown gay velma will warp the minds of the poor fragile children and turn them into pacifist communists who hate america, jesus, and apple pie. That sort of person is evil to them so there is a danger in their warped little heads. However, do you really think today's kids are going to miss scooby, worry that there is no stoner, and worry about animation styles? That seems like parents complaining about changes to the show their kids are watching and do not care about.

    Don't forget round candy mascots who wear sneakers instead of hooker boots, and pink haired girls.

    God, this.

    There's a reason "Mystery, Inc" is considered the Deep Space Nine of the Scooby Doo franchise and that came waaaaay late in the game.
