Harvey Birdman was aimed at teenage white males, so r/television loved it.

Velma was not aimed at teenage white males, so r/television hated it.

Your mistake is thinking that because r/television hates a show it is a bad show.

Yes, clearly it's just r/television being biased, right?

Yeah, seems it's poorly reviewed. That being said, the volume of discourse in this sub seems out of whack. It's the show the sub loves to hate.

Yeah, that's fair. People have definitely had a bone to pick about the show. I wouldn't even argue against the idea that there's probably some sexist and racial animosity in the mix there, motivating some of that criticism. I just hate to see people excuse the show of all its faults because of that. It can both be a lightning rod for people's worst urges and be a terribly written mess.

so what you're saying is that anyone who isn't white enjoys watching garbage ass shit like Velma? that's offensive to non whites, actually
