A quote from Mindy Kaling why they race swapped Velma: "We were really inspired by Into the Spider-Verse - it's animation, we can do anything. The essence of Velma is not necessarily tied to her whiteness. And I identify so much as her character, and I think so many people do, so it's like, yeah, let's make her Indian in this series." The narcissism. I'm voicing her so she's gotta be like meeeeeeeee. There was also some other quote where she says Velma has always been a LGBT icon. No she hasn't. It was just a stupid joke everyone made back in the day based on the fact she was a frumpy nerdy chick, like how people joked about Shaggy being a stoner. She wasn't written/created to actually be gay.

[@kristennieto7785]

This quote is so frustrating to me! "'We were really INSPIRED by Into the Spider-Verse...'" Yeah, no kidding. They saw a popular character get race-bent and watched Sony's profits skyrocket. InSpIrAtIoN! Meanwhile Miles Morales is popular because he's not just Peter Parker repainted, he was given his own personality, drives, and arc. And the movie was great because the animation wasn't cheap and flat. "It's animation, we can do anything..." So you choose this pseudo-anime mess of flat colors and weak outlines? Good job! Into the Spider-Verse played with cinematography, dimension, and art styles, but go off. Honestly, I'd watch a cartoon called "Mindy Kaling: Paranormal Detective". Actually sounds hilarious and the cynicism would fit right in. Like, if she wanted to make this a self-insert, just own it, she's famous enough! (Sorry for the tl;dr)

When you think about it making Velma an actual lesbian is gross stereotyping. It is like say a male character is gay because he wears pink t shirts and has a Freddie Mercury mustache. It also completely ignores every other version of Scooby-Doo where Velma is explicitly straight.

The original scooby doo was already super progressive and family friendly. Fred was the leader but not the smartest, he brought everyone together and was friends with all kinds of people. Daphnie was the pretty girl but she wasnt dumb, she helped and was friends with everyone. Velma was the smart girl, everyone really liked for being herself. She wasnt ugly or mean, I always thought her and Shaggy were a thing. Shaggy was the stoner who most people would dismiss but he was super friendly and smart too and helped everyone. Scooby was his best friend and despite being a big dog was harmless but also coursgeous when he needed to be. The whole show was about different types of people getting along. It was for KIDS to tell them they could do great things working together with everyone. The so called progressive today make everything about themselves and project their bitterness onto kids. By trying to make everything super diverse they just reinforce sterotypes or create new ones and dump on everything they personally dont like. Its amazing how racist and bigoted some of their stuff can be and they have no idea or maybe they do, its way worse than anything from the 1950s. And they wonder why so many kids are in therapy and on drugs, its probably the garbage theyre watch in modern media.

Both the good guys and the bad guys behind the masks were always white if i recall correctly. Pretty sure Velma was actually very pretty too when Daphnie helped her with different clothes in an episode, i think she just wore a frumpy sweater and had glasses, glasses used to indicate intelligence in cartoons. She wasnt obese, just about everyone back then was in better shape than today. But yeah, lets promote unhealthy habbits so a ton of kids have obesity and health issues and never fall in love and start a family. Sexuality doesnt belong in childresns programming. These people have problems and need to look in the mirror and work on their own issues before poisoning young minds.

To clarify: - Fred has no control of situations, hasn't hit puberty and is a man-baby 1%(entitled, can do anything for himself and ignores anyone who doesn't keep his goldfish attention span.) - Daphne sells drugs to hire an investigator to find her real parents, but hangs out with the popular girls. (Her drugs are named after show inserts. Also has lesbian cop foster parents. Isn't rich, but hustling) - Norville has a stream where he recommends snacks, is a per episode hobbyist, and drives a station wagon.(which the vehicle looks like the one from that 70's show) Which happens to be stoner favorites. He doesn't have the police family background and acts like Todd from Bojack Horseman with less fun. - Velma jumps to conclusions, hypochondriac and has trauma from a vague family member leaving. Acts like Daria without a soul and it's bad... All because Thanos snapped Scooby out of existence. Also by episode 2 Velma and Daphne catch feelings & make out. Norville shares his feelings and Velma laughed at him ... Good luck ... HBO max subscription charged an extra $1 a month for shows like this...(14.99-15.99)

Not a story about some black lesbian in a high-school murder mystery, who happens to also have the name "Velma" but doesn't look, act, talk, or think like Velma. For example, if you took an episode of Scooby Doo, any episode, then changed the title to something like Ruby Row, velma to be a black woman called "Mindy", shaggy to a black guy called "Norbert", Daphne to an Asian woman called "Woo", Fred to "Brad" and Scooby to "Ruby". You'd be called out for copyright infringement because it is obviously still Scooby Doo but with different names.

I'm glad you brought up Daria as a better example of how a smart, sarcastic female character can be written. Having watched the show back on MTV when it aired and on DVD now, I liked that the writers never made Daria the "precious cinnamonroll that never gets called out for her crap" kind of character. Throughout the show, Daria was confronted by her family, her best friend, classmates and other characters for her views and actions, and there were moments that Daria had a change of heart or acknowledged that she didn't have all the answers or was right 100% of the time. So by the end of the show, Daria was not the same character as she was in the beginning. Unfortunately, I don't have much hope in the writing for Velma's character or for this show. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the show writers do.

Venture Bros did the basic concept of an adult Scooby-Doo parody: first, infinitely better, and without bastardizing the Scooby-Doo brand. Edit - two more examples: Scooby-Doo! Mystery, Inc. took the Scooby gang and put them in a show that was darker than anything not from the 90s movies, but the difference there was that they stayed true to the characters and were inserting love letters to everything that came before (Scrappy excluded) wherever they could, BECAUSE THEY LOVED SCOOBY-DOO. And Supernatural brought the Scooby gang into a real murder mystery, but all throughout that episode, again, they were never anything but respectful and loving toward the legacy of Scooby-Doo. It was heartwarming how Scooby-Doo was one of the bright lights in Dean's dumpster fire of a childhood, and how he was willing to edit his behavior out of respect.

Yeah. Thing is shows like this aren't really about entertainment in the first place, they're about the creators validating their sociopolitical beliefs whilst hoping to exploit that predictable process for career success. The creators make those beliefs explicit in their creation because they _want_ them to be the focal point of the public response, not the entertainment itself. Essentially they're communicating to their target audience "this is what I believe in, and if you believe it too then you should support this show." That way even if the show is garbage from an entertainment standpoint, it may still succeed for political reasons. And they often do succeed to a satisfactory degree in the short term as a result. Most of these types of shows will make it to a season 2 or 3 before being cancelled by whatever network or service is hosting them, and by then the original creators have used that momentum to move on to greener pastures. TL;DR: In a nutshell, it's cynically motivated virtue signalling. Well, I guess all virtue signalling is cynically motivated by definition, but this sort of thing is doubly so.
