| − | |An adult spin-off/"prequel" of the classic 1969 cartoon ''Scooby Doo'', ''Velma'' ends up being a lot more mean-spirited and [[woke]]. The titular character - who in past incarnations had been both intelligent and friendly - frequently jeers at Fred for being a straight white man, and she herself has been race-swapped into being Indian as a narcissistic self-insert of Mindy Kaling and for woke points (the 2020 animated film ''Scoob'' did have Velma be switched to Latina, but not at the expense of the character or story like ''Velma'' did); Fred himself has been twisted into a rude idiot being the butt of jokes due to being a straight white man. Shaggy has also become race-swapped, being a black man renamed Norville due to Norville being his first name and also being a much more unsubtle stoner who simps for Velma. One episode even features a lesbian kiss between Velma and Daphne, the latter being the half-Asian adopted daughter of two corrupt lesbian cops who deal drugs; a kiss between them also somehow gets Velma out of a panic attack, a subject in which many people feel that the more family-friendly film ''Puss in Boots: The Last Wish'' managed much better. Scooby doesn't even appear at all in this show in spite of ''Velma'' being inspired by ''Scooby Doo'' due to the writers believing that he is too "childish" (though many people are happy that Scooby doesn't show up, lest he be butchered like the other characters). There are also some disturbing scenes of implied pedophilia and illegal ephebophilia conduct, with Velma hinting that children should know and want to draw genitalia (while also ranting about the patriarchy). A disturbing moment occurs when the underaged Velma (who is supposed to be under 16) pole-dances in front of her father at a strip club to get his attention. | + | |An adult spin-off/"prequel" of the classic 1969 cartoon ''Scooby Doo'', ''Velma'' ends up being a lot more mean-spirited and [[woke]].
