I'm not qwhite sure.

She has put out some legitimately good stuff, but whenever she is brought up on reddit, everyone just trips over each other to proudly proclaim how much they hate her and her work. Looks, Velma probably sucks (I haven't seen it yet), but disproportionate amount of hate it's getting on here is ridiculous.

It really is ridiculous.

It’s not a great show, I watched the first two episodes and it didn’t make me laugh at all, but people are just so over-the-top angry about it, it’s stupid.

I laughed quite a few times, but I cringed quite a few times too. It's uneven for sure, but holy shit it's at least above average. Truly terrible stuff has come before and I didn't see anyone make daily posts about how bad that stuff was.

So, criticism of the show is racist, but the show probably sucks?

The show can be bad, and a huge portion of the pushback can be racist. They can both exist at the same time.

You never see this kind of white hot vitriol toward worse shows like Brickleberry, Paradise PD, The Prince or any of the other myriad shitty adult animated shows.

Thank you. If people are saying this is "the worst show" then I want to know what they've seen or what they like, because those shows you mentioned are some of the first ones that come to mind when I think "worst show."

I'd suggest that the criticism I've seen toward Velma is in proportion to the amount of promotion that was behind the show. It's been promoted ad nauseum for weeks now, so of course it had a big target on its back. As for the other three shows you mentioned, I have personally never seen anyone talk—positively or negatively—about two, and I can recall having seen exactly one person talk about Brickleberry. And to be honest, I'm not sure that wasn't Big Mouth.

Where is this promotion happening? Everyone talking about ads and interviews seems to be living in a different world than I do.
