Others are furious at the show&#8217;s departure from the classic. \u201cScooby-Doo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s even worse for Kaling, who strived for woke applause. The show&#8217;s creator has been criticized for sexism and racism in some reviews.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe jokes aren\u2019t funny. It\u2019s not cool. It\u2019s not hip. It\u2019s the opposite.

What an absolute insult, really, to anyone with half a shred of respectability. I\u2019m just staggered that this even exists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another reviewer on the IMBd page points out the strange sexual aspects of this show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was atrocious. I watched the entire first episode and did not laugh once. Not even a chuckle. The jokes were so juvenile, so heavy handed and the premise so far removed from the original IP, it was embarrassing,\u201d The review is slammed, but there&#8217;s more. \u201cWhy is this series about sex and what does any of the random sexual situations have to do with Scooby Doo? I also don\u2019t know, nor care. Speaking of which, where is Scooby and Shaggy? \u2026 Personally, I feel like HBO and Mindy Kaling owe everyone an apology for this abomination of a series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kaling also made it a point before the show aired to stress that Velma would be the main animated character.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully you noticed my Velma is South Asian,\u201d Kaling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mindy-kaling-announces-her-scooby-doo-velma-character-is-south-asian-says-if-people-freak-out-about-that-i-dont-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> Last year, there was a large crowd. \u201cIf people freak out about that, I don\u2019t care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mindy-kaling-announces-her-scooby-doo-velma-character-is-south-asian-says-if-people-freak-out-about-that-i-dont-care\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mindy Kaling Announces Her \u2018Scooby-Doo\u2019 Velma Character Is South Asian, Says \u2018If People Freak Out About That, I Don\u2019t\u00a0Care\u2019<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creator and actress Mindy Kaling has made history for her woke Scooby-Doo spin-off\u00a0\u201cVelma\u201d \u2014 but certainly not in the way she expected.
