The Velma controversy just got a little worse for Mindy Kaling & HBO Max

The controversy surrounding the new animated series Velma on HBO Max has only worsened for creator Mindy Kaling and the streaming service. This is despite the initial excitement surrounding the show and Kaling's ideas for the Scooby-Doo universe.

The show has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from audiences. Kaling has remained silent on social media ever since her last tweet on January 17th, and despite the backlash, she has not commented on the controversy.

Velma is one of the poorest-rated animated series ever and the worst TV shows of all time. Despite the show's poor ratings, fans are anticipating the final episodes of the series 'Family Woman' and 'The Brains of the Operation,' set to air next week.

Parent analysts try to measure the show's popularity based on how frequently people mention it, but this does not always indicate that the show is popular.

The show's reception has been so negative that the YouTube channel for Velma has turned off comments to avoid overwhelmingly negative feedback. Comments on Twitter have not been disabled, and the reaction to the show has been overwhelmingly negative, with many people calling for a boycott of HBO Max and the show.

One of the biggest criticisms of Velma is that it is racist and promotes division and hate. Many have taken to social media to voice their opinions and call for a boycott of the show.

Velma's latest episodes also face criticism for their depiction of men. In the episode, the lead character realizes that everyone trusts and helps men, leading some viewers to ask why the series depicts men as privileged and easy.

The only positive post in a quick search was from someone claiming that the show informs girls and women that their worth matters. However, it is unclear if this post is a parody or a genuine expression of support for the show.

Some viewers have pointed out that the show's attempt at being 'woke' has only managed to estrange its intended viewers and those who might be interested in watching the animated series.
