Reply to comment by AGVann in A different take on Velma by HBO by borek87

This is the correct response

For some reason, OP is doing their best to make racist jokes seem harmless and it's the people that are speaking out against racism and prejudice in the show that are somehow in the wrong

OP compares south parks edgy humor to Velmas and I have to say they come off completely different. South Park clearly makes fun of racism by parodying it and showing ridiculous people in ridiculous situations

Velma doesn't come across as a parody to me. It feels like it's leaning into the "fuck white people" shtick targeting an audience that likes making fun of white people

Well yeah, have you not watched much South Park?

For example, Cartman is a complete asshole racist bigot douchebag and he says a lot of fucked up stuff.

You know what the difference is? The other characters call him out for it, and Cartman looks like a complete monster most of the time.

That's the difference.
