Meh. Not even as obnoxious as Casey Kasem demanding Shaggy be vegetarian

...or that terrible hipster "re-imagining" a few years ago.


...or even when Scooby Doo fell into the "but they're little kids now" fad.

It doesn't take anything away from the character.

If you're gonna change Velma or Daphne, I'd say change Velma. Velma's iconic look is her glasses and orange turtleneck. Daphne's the one who has red hair as her signature. An ethnicity change would affect her more.

I does kinda venture into stereotype territory, the nerd being Indian, but it's also an opportunity for more inclusive casting. So if she's wanting to be Velma, I say let her be Velma.

The hottest version of Velma I've seen was this one porn star who dressed up as her and she looked Mexican and had enormous natural tits. This doesn't really have anything to do with the topic on hand but I guess you can just say I'm fine with loose takes on the character. B)

So this is not a kids show, has no Scooby-Doo, no van, different universe... But somehow it's still Velma and animated?

Is Velma going to be modernized or is she going to keep her Mary Janes?

Just another example of totally going against the perceived lore in the name of SJW political agendas.
