If this was a good show, this would be a turning point for Velma. Velma being knocked down would force her to rethink her stance and maybe consider another point of view. Perhaps being humbled would cause Velma to grow as a character. If this was a good show, but it's not.

I watched, it kinda was..Velma was willing to let the girls be who they wanted to be while also staying true to herself. Because a strong woman is one who is not afraid to show who they really are, who is not afraid to be herself.

[@kacperaskawski3461]

@lmao5724 Now you are just a massive hypocrite you basically said "It is wrong for women to care about their appearance and sex appeal just for themselves, because they are reinforce these norms", what is exacly the same thing you CLAIM to be fighting against. So because some people are butthurt because they aren't found attractive, they can now tell everyone else what they should wear and how they should act? Also the thing about societal vacuum, sorry, but we are not a robots and we can do think for ourselves, for example is someone forcing you to wear expensive clothes? No, many people wear them, but no one will opress you if you want to wear a plain T-shirt, also because many people like certain fashion choice and many people take inspiration from them suddenly we can't make our own decisions, because we are forced to wear them, sorry, if you are in a minority that don't like new fashion simply wear what clothes you like and don't get pissed that most people like certain fashion, while you hate it.

It's what happens when a writer is so immersed in an echo chamber of their political views, that they assume everybody holds the same mindset as them or that they just have to show a blatant example of what they see as "wrong" to convince their audience, but as a result, they forget to make the characters likable or at least, relatable. The Velma show tried to course correct through meta humor, but failed to realize that pointing out "oh wow, Velma's a hypocritical, self-pitying, racist asshat" won't matter if the character's only redeeming trait is being the protagonist, not to mention not showing said character genuinely receiving lasting consequences for their actions and trying to change.

@@SkylarThompson-mu1qs I don't mean it that way. PickMes and Sweet girls are entirely different people. PickMes are like incels, they have their nice girl/guy facade but they obviously don't because they ironically act the opposite. They are the opposite of nice girls. Incels would say they are wife materials when PickMes barely took a bath, don't know how to cook and are opposite of lady-like behavior but due to isolation, they are desperate for men's attention no matter what the cost. Back then, PickMes were referred to as NiceGirls™ by men because they pointed out how creepy and aggressive they can get after rejection. Once you reject them, they go straight to man-hating behavior and suddenly they're on women's side as if they didn't just degrade their same gender community. That's the cycle. From PickMe to radical feminists. Actual feminists don't trust radical feminists because they know who they really are, and this Velma clip perfectly describes that.

[@katgamer1727]

She is spitting facts though. No woman should have to change who they are or how they dress to not get attacked. Women should be able to wear what they want without being harassed. Doesn’t mean that’s her whole personality, we just wanna look hot for ourselves

When season 2 comes out, do not watch it. Don't discuss it. Don't upload clips of it. Don't even make jokes about it. Or there will be more seasons of it, and more like it. The only way tae kill it is with irrelevance. Trust me on this. I'm a Sith, we know how tae kill things.

@DenModeforreal You speak true and it irritates me greatly. The solution tae dealing with this shite is obvious but fucking people won't commit tae it.

You are absolutely right, it is a shame that people see it equally out of morbidity. Anyway, another good tip is to watch it pirated if you are so curious.

[@Dalton_Boardman2000]

That's the one I'm planning. As far as I'm concerned this show doesn't exist. It's just a bad idea that never panned out.

[@tailsfan10]

You know what would be ironic tho? ... Now that I think about it, I won't even speak it to existence. If you know, you know.

[@ProbablySoon-pv6ee]

No

[@forsythia-me2lx]

Im not interested in defending velma but almost everyone here has the media literacy skills of a rock. "You know its bad writing when the antagonists come off as the protagonists." No. You know its bad writing when the antagonists come off as the protagonists, and instead of the writers using a confrontation like this as fuel to develop their protagonist, the protagonist stays the same for unclear reasons. I'm not sure what happens after this scene, i never watched it, but this scene itself is perfect if the writers used it in the right way. Bad writing isnt when a protagonist encounters a viewpoint that challenges their own ideology, bad writing is when the protagonist encounters this viewpoint and either a). Changes their own mind too fast to be realistic, b). Doesn't change their mind at all, but sees no consequences for their stubborness, or c). Changes their mind in due time, but also sees no consequences for the bs they put others through. Thats bad writing. This scene on its own isnt.

[@forsythia-me2lx]

Also whoever edited this did a shite job with the volume control.

[@embroideredragdoll]

Also is it me or did this scene end up being a critique of slasher films that always have a weird habit of sexualising the hell out of a woman whilst also using the character’s sexuality as some “ha told you so moment”. I feel like this would’ve of been the intention had it been in a better show.

[@commandercorl1544]

Ah, we're supposed to agree with the victim-blamer sociopath, and not the random women whose only crimes were being sassy and wearing revealing clothing. I see.

It’s obvious that that’s just Mindy Kaling, impersonating Velma. Case closed!

Which is part of the point of the show but I guess you don't have common sense

[@supremeoverlords5808]

This show is just Mindy inserting herself into Velma to project all her high school insecurities

[@probablyjinxed]

as somebody who has a fashion sense similar to velma’s the mean girls absolutely obliterated her and i could watch this clip all day. honestly the writers probably thought girls that looked like her would be on mindy’s side with this bullshit LOL

no... no they didnt, this scene was so obviously written to portray velma as being in the wrong. Youjust lack media literacy skills

[@botanicalitus4194]

The funniest thing to me about this Velma show is that the show is absolute rubbish, but the people hating on it are just as dumb if not dumber than the people who made it. The criticisms I see of it in the comment section are embarrassingly bad. "when the show is so bad that the audience agrees with the bully more than the main character" - Dude we are SUPPOSED to agree with the mean girl in this scene, the whole episode was about showing Velma that her condescending and strict world view is wrong and just as bad as the things she is fighting against. The show has a million flaws, but one flaw it doesn't have is a marry sue protagonist. They clearly show that velma is a flawed character that needs to grow up "I cant believe they made a show with a rude and condescending protagonist and expected it to be good" - Literally tons of shows have protags that are terrible or annoying people and the shows still end up being amazing. Breaking bad, Bojack Horseman, South park, Dan vs. I can keep going. The issue with this show isnt that Velma starts off as a flawed and annoying person, its that they didnt execute her character and growth correctly. Also the show just isnt funny, and the other characters are not interesting in the least. Media literacy skiIIs are so rare nowadays. Im losing braincells reading these comments

[@ironvlogger9712]

The real Velma wouldn't even bother in this debate. She would be studying and expanding her knowledge, via book or solving a mystery. She was fine with how she was and never even said anything like this to Daphne, her best friend. This show is awful

[@Maxinestabile]

Its funny how bojack horseman has an episode where a feminist character learns exactly this. Woman basing their whole identities around politics is reductive because they don’t like our asses anyways (they like our money though, i guess our bank accounts are safe)

i feel like i'm going crazy, geniunely can't tell whether half of the people here are feminists who actually think they're being progressive, or like redpill dudes co-opting it. cuz wtaf is "women basing their whole identities around politics is reductive" supposed to mean?

I Would Say The Only Good Character Is Daphne If She was More Developed throughout And Learn that she's more than just a pretty face and shit.... Which is what this video is saying

[@TheRisingMoon604]

[@samflood5631]

Olive is the only mean girl that is straight up honest with the supposed “main character”. She’s way more interesting and likeable than Velma. Sure she’s the stereotypical mean rich girl. But when the main character is so unlikeable, I ended up rooting for anyone that’s against Velma.

[@dan765]

Nope, this part sucks too

[@lcyurchuk]

If I wrote Velma, I'd have made Velma the typical shy introvert comes out of her shell route. I'd have made Fred the good looking Jock who's smarter than he lets on, I'd have made Shaggy a victim of circumstance and Fred's best friend. Maybe even have Shaggy be framed for the murder because he was the last person seen with the victim who turned out to be his girlfriend all along. I would have even put Scooby in there, like, perhaps Shaggy's girlfriend was the daughter of a scientist who was working on a way to make animals communicate with humans in order to make humanity learn to coexist with their fellow lifeforms on Earth or something and she was trusting Shaggy to look after Scooby after her father disappears or something

Funny, how a person who is supposed to be an antagonist in a show about bashing the existence of men actually has real feminist core values and makes actual points about it

[@botanicalitus4194]

its not funny its literally the point of this scene, Velma is clearly and intentionally portrayed to be wrong for judging other girls for how they dress. YaII need better media literacy skills also bashingmen? YaII accuse every show or movie that seems "woke" of that. That accusation has become meaningless. This show sucks but not because its "lIkE tOtAlL bAShInG dUdeS"

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

I actually really like this scene because it’s the only scene in the entire show that feels like the point is worth talking about and the hypocrisy in regard to the issue is appropriate. And the show actively called out Velma for said hypocrisy and that yes, there has been a power structure in regard to men in history limiting women, but at the same time, Velma is also limiting these women and as Olive says, has a view on womanhood that is more restrictive than theirs which is just as bad. It’s the one thing the show talks about that actually is not bad. Unfortunately it’s sadly the only thing it does well.
