What did you watch?

ORBITAL REDUX (Freevee)

Two people in an earth/moon shuttle, carrying helium three an improbably
short way into the future from now.

The secondary creative is named Lillian Diaz-Przybyl. If you can trick
her into saying her name backwards, she'll be sent home.

Remember the Supergirl "writer" who said that it didn't matter if you
wrote a good script as long as you put in lots of woke messages? This
is that script.

 
I thought that was a rarity. Then yesterday I was watching a Youtube
video about yet another person who cut by Disney who is suing the
company because she lost out on millions of dollars because they
cancelled the show she was supposed to run and cut some other projects
she was supposed to be involved with. She couldn't accept that the
Acolyte didn't have a good reaction with the fans and so Disney made
the decision to save money by cutting the project. They also cut back
on the other projects they had planned to have her involved in because
she wasn't seen as the money maker they thought she would be.
Partially because she was focused on DEI over story.
 
Then we've got Mindy Kaling attacking fans who were upset with the
VELMA show because of the DEI agenda they followed where they changed
many of the original characters. She went on to attack the fans that
didn't support the changes they made. I don't understand why these
people can't see why people would prefer characters remain the same
over the years when there's no story reason for a change. It's like
the changes the BBC has been making to classic Shakespeare stories
with black actors being added to the productions even though they
clearly would not have been part of that world at that time.
 
Any way, here are her words so you can judge for yourself.
 
 I just think
it's ridiculous how Scooby-Doo fans are
acting in such a childish way with a
series that is only aiming to make the
world a better place by supporting
diversity equity and inclusion toxic
fans tend to make up slang words for
what fits their narrative like race
swapping or gender swapping and as a
comedian I think it's quite hysterical
how some of these fans remain very
entitled like that to make up such slang

Now we're 'entitled' for even talking about what they're doing. She's
not 'entitled' for ruining a show millions of people fondly remember
from their childhood. No, the millions of people are 'entitled' for
noticing her doing it and not liking it.

And no, Mindy. Those aren't 'slang' words. They're merely terms made up
of normal English words that accurately describe what you and your
fellow travelers are doing.

words this is a series where I think the
toxic side of the fans of Scooby-Doo
should really keep quiet and not let any
of their biased opinions from spilling
into the void because it only ruins the
experience of others that obviously love
the series through and through

Now she's presuming to literally tell us who should be allowed to speak
and who shouldn't.

I bet her next decree will be that people should be forced to watch the
show whether they like it or not; they shouldn't be 'entitled' to
boycott something that has DEI in it.

all I ask from everyone is to let
the product speak for itself and I know
I know this is how Executives talk with
their products but it's real we need to
follow what works and what doesn't

If we actually followed what works and what doesn't, Netflix and HBO
would have pulled this abomination after Episode 1 and fired your ass.

fans of Scooby-Doo
obviously have no clue what they are
talking about when it involves the Velma
series

Oh, absolutely! Spot on, there, Mindy. Die hard fans of a show are
*always* the ones least informed about it. Trekkies know nothing about
STAR TREK. All those STAR WARS fans? Clueless about STAR WARS. Those
people who wear Hogwarts robes to school? The last thing you should do
is ask them about Harry Potter. They know nothing.

Only woke TV producers know anything about anything.
