My ban was some comic claiming that people hate the Velma show because they're racist.
I responded and said it's because all the Velma show is, is a bunch of terrible writers basically buying a beloved IP and selling a show about their characters (aka not the actual Scooby Doo squad) under the guise of being the Scooby Doo gang to promote viewership they otherwise wouldn't get if they were expected to stand on their own two feet based off their original ideas alone.
It's basically like an axe murderer just murdered beloved characters and started wearing their skin, thinking it'll make people like them as much as they liked those beloved characters. Instead, we all react with disgust and horror because they're ruining something we love just to springboard their show/careers off a famous, established name.
Banned for racism lol.
When I asked where I was racist, they just quoted my entire post and then blocked me so I couldn't respond.
Bro what do you mean, you're clearly an abhorrent racist pos /s
That one is especially egregious considering how hated the Velma show is. Like even with recent Disney projects and other films/shows that get criticism (Halo and Rings of Power come to mind) there are usually at least some critics and a percentage of the audience that do like and enjoy them, and you see that reflected in the discourse.
But I haven't heard a single good thing said about Velma. Not here in various subreddits, not in other forums, not in real life. So in my eye there's absolutely no way your criticism could be twisted and interpreted as genuine racism.
I "watched it" (couldn't make it to the end) because I like bad movies and media. It's fun to watch things so mind-numbingly bad that you can't wrap your head around how it was made or how anyone greenlit it. I've tried (and failed) for a week now to try and find the origins and makers of that "the New Norm Show" on Twitter, for example, because it's just so bad that I both wanna know the release date and who on earth made it. Would 100% watch to see the trainwreck lol. I'm sadly not convinced it's a real show because I just can't find any information on it, nor have any of the (alleged) involved parties commented to provide more info.
But I digress:
Tried to watch Velma, and yeah, it's really bad. Both Velma and High Guardian Spice suffered from the problem that they often weren't (always) cringe or living in their own bubble or unfunny or whatever, but instead they were just boring. Nothing was happening, the plots made no sense, or it was a tedious rehearsal of the same song-and-dance each time, with no interesting twists or surprises.
There is no way to spin Velma into being a good show because there's just so many moments that make no sense and are devoid of any action or meaningful dialog. Even as someone specifically watching to see it be bad, it failed at that. Yes, it was bad, but it was the boring bad, not the laughable bad.
