Okay I know it sounds silly, but this what happens. People on the right (like youtubers) talk about this shitty show. They bring up how that show was mean to Fred. ( it really was bad). Then the slowly they start becoming more and more of a right wing chug . They branch out and start complaining about more and more things.

This has happened before.When TLJ came out these right wing host got more and more fans talking about how bad that movie was.

And then slowly they start to complain about inclusiveness, then start complaining about Brie Larson, then they start complaining about women and minorities in general.

Since people where calling anyone who didn't like it dude bros or things like that. It help the real dude bros to gain support. Hopefully this will not happen but I see it happening. People are posting these right wing chugs all over while not understanding how toxic some of these people really are.

If it's that easy to shift someone into what is essentially fascism, they weren't all that far from it to begin with.

Velma is bad.

But also: This happens any time a show brings up social issues as part of its main dialogue. The right pretends this is good for them and will recruit more people to their side.

Alt right YouTubers have been targeting and corrupting young men and boys for years. It is insidious how they worm their way in to their minds.

For "some reason" the 'algorithm' pushes that kind of shit at them

This is not about full adults. No 35 year old man is going to fall into this hole. But younger boys can be drawn into really easily.

That was going to happen regardless of this shows existence then. Fortunately after about 5 years some of them grow up and realize they are regurgitating BS. Til then I'll be hereto make em look stupid any time they try their rhetoric.

Thanks for this link. I will watch when I get the chance. I watched a bit so far and it seems interesting. Also they joked about Gabe being a furry. And it odd how some furries can be like in the hate group type stuff.

I think so as well. People like Andrew Tate and Kanye have practically been recruiters of young kids for these movements.

Falling into fascism over a fucking cartoon is wild, regardless of age. That's evidence of a fundamental flaw in society and in those people. The vast majority of people of any age who view a bad TV show will not then say "this means that racism and sexism is actually good"

Focus on that rather than dunking on a TV show or implying that it would be in anyway justified or acceptable to have that reaction. I'm sure you'll say you're not doing that, but by focusing on the TV show rather than the population susceptible to fascism, you're furthering right wing narratives. What's the solution here down this path? Stop certain people from creating TV shows? Stop TV shows with brown people in them? That would be giving them what they want and wouldn't fix anything.

The only way to fix the true problem is to eliminate the conditions that draw people to the right, the ones that cause a reaction to a TV show to be fascism.

TC isnt saying this show will convert people. Hes saying its easy ammo for the real threats to use for propaganda.

From what I understand, the white cis guy is villainy is a thing people push. And this show does it no favors.

For obvious reasons, folks can easily be swayed to think white dudes are oppressed if people pitch the argument well enough.

In all honestly. This show doesn't even cater to left wing folks either.

It's a show solely about the main writer self inserting herself into Velma. There's no real audience for this show.
