Red State Reports: They never learn.


Despite watching as countless studios tried and failed to make woke reboots and revivals of famous shows and movies, HBOMax seems to have the kind of studio heads that have to touch the stove multiple times before they learn it burns them.


Someone signed off on a pitch by Mindy Kaling — formerly the crazy relationship-obsessed girl from “The Office” — to do a woke version of Scooby-Doo. Only this version will focus on race-swapped Velma and Scooby won’t even be present in the show.


Since the show’s announcement, Kaling’s woke-ified Velma has faced real pushback. While a lot of it was blamed on the usual excuses from studio showrunners like “racism” and “sexism,” a lot of the anger originated from the fact that the original teaser trailer mocked Scooby fans and people who’ve had it with politicized programming.
