    I’m honestly speaking generally not just about Scooby Doo. It just so happens that this portrayal of Scooby Doo is just pure blatant pandering.

    Why did they even call it Scooby Doo? Why even attach the show to that franchise when it’s so separated in it’s basic concepts?

    The answer is because they were trying to use the franchises name to push some stupid race pandering bullshit.

    They put in all the effort to change each character to the point that they only resemble their original designs by physical appearance. They literally could have just come up with a completely different show that had nothing to do with Scooby Doo at all.

      Is it “race pandering” to make a cast more diverse in order to broaden its appeal?

        It is when you’re just taking an existing character and basically giving them black face.

        It would be infinitely easier to integrate a new character entirely than to just race swap a character without changing their cultural identity.

          I don’t think I understand what you mean by “race pandering”. Is it a kind of pandering? Pandering to whom? And how?

            I call it pandering specifically because it’s disingenuous. It’s not a real attempt at racial inclusivity it’s going “Ah fuck we’re getting bitched at for not being inclusive. Fuck it this characters black now. They act exactly the same because we can’t be bothered to actually put in the work to make the cultural changes, but, good enough. Fuck you”

            And that’s why it’s pandering. They literally just change the color of their skin without giving a single fuck about cultural identities.

            Edit: Removed my first paragraph because I phrased it wrong.

              OK I didn’t know that’s what happened.
