Is this hated because it's ACTUALLY bad? Or because...


...rightwingers are offended that there are so many brown people on screen?

reply

Isn't it for that reason that it's bad? I mean, changing the established race of characters, especially these beloved cartoon characters, is probably going to be the final straw that broke the donkey's back.

lmfao. he quoted you...to prove your point XD

It's one of many reasons.

reply

Yes!!!

It's not a serious question. It's race baiting. NOte that the guy asked the question and has not responded to ANY of the answers.

Race flipping a character, if done for a valid artistic reason, and done in the context of MOSTLY being respectful of cannon and the auidence, could very well work.

Today, though, with this whole movement of doing such shit as part of an attack on cannon and the audience for political reasons, it is asking for trouble.

AND, specifically this one, looks like a fine example of wokeness. So, yeah, it is an attack on the fans, which thus justifies and validates push back.

Attacking someone and then acting like them becoming defensive is something wrong with THEM, is YOU being a completely and total asshole.

They should of added a new black character, it would be annoying but not ruin the whole show. this is just weird...

reply

Should have - Grammar Police.

reply

English is my 4th language give me a break commandant! Dont gas me please!!

reply

Don't gas you? That's a very unfunny and inappropriate thing to say. What if I had been Jewish? You don't know that. Congrats on knowing four languages; I hope I taught you something additional about English. Have a nice day!

reply

What if HE was Jewish and called you a ... grammar nazi?

"Grammar Nazi or Grammar Police refers to someone who habitually corrects grammar and / or spelling mistakes made by others in conversation"


Bottom line, doesn't matter if any of you is Jew or not, the term grammar Nazi is petty well known so you have no reason to get offended. Ah, wait, you're not Jew, you are American ... most likely obese too ..

reply

GRAMMAR NAZI?..NO...YOUR POST IS NONSENSE.

reply

THANKS KOWALSKI for taking my side once again against idiot trolls.

reply

Asom I'm American but I'm not obese. I'm not sure why you make that assumption, and have to start tossing around personal insults. You are a bully. And as such, probably don't have many friends. Sucks to be you. Who the F said anything about "Grammar Nazi"? I said "Grammar Police. You're the one who brought up Grammar Nazi. Very strange reply, and you are a very strange person, who I just blocked because you're (not your) annoying.

reply

Idiot, He was referring to the Grammar nazi when he said "commandant, don't gas me please". GET IT???

Maybe you're not obese but you are at least stupid for not understanding his reference. So at least one stereotype applies.

And who the fuck said that I want to be your friend?

reply

> Dont gas me please!!

I fart in your general direction!

reply

I love a good fart joke.

I just learned something over on the Gwyneth Paltrow forum. She's so arrogant, that she sprays perfume up her ass so that her farts don't smell. Or if she uses her "this smells like my pussy" perfume, the recipient is very confused as well.

reply

Bit of both. Trailers didn't look interesting, but there's a bit of that nasty undercurrent at work as usual.

reply

THAT^

reply

A Bit of both. I mean, it’s a scooby doo reboot without Scooby and Shaggy. Then they race swapped the other characters for no reason.

reply

What do you mean "no reason"???

The show is filled with anti white narrative, it wouldn't work if the "good" characters that complain about whites are white ...

reply

Shaggy’s in it, he’s black now

reply

Oh wow this is like a bad joke.

reply

Scooby-Doo has been race swapped for a pug.

reply

LOL, makes sense, but it would have to be a rescue pug, and a half-breed. Any full-breed dog is politically incorrect, and OMFG if you don't "rescue" a dog these days, you're pure evil. I'm honestly embarrassed to tell people that we paid for our Great Dane from a breeder. I prefer not to play the Forrest Gump game of rescue dogs, sorry. [Meaning: You never know what you gonna get].

If people would pay attention to Bob Barker and Drew Carey and "get their pets spayed or neutered", we wouldn't have so many damn rescue dogs to begin with.

[/soapbox]. Time for my medication.

reply

It's the newest in 21st Century entertainment media....of course it's bad

reply

Lol

reply

I slogged through the first one. It's just simply bad. REALLY bad.

reply

It's really, really bad! Nothing funny at all and the creators hate the audience.

reply

These are the sort of folks who hate female M&Ms and believe stories about school kids using litter boxes. Their ability to get upset about non-issues truly has no bounds.
