It worked out so well when HBO "re-booted" Scooby Doo:

The most recent example is HBO Max’s “Velma,” which casts Mindy Kaling as a gay Indian version of Velma from the popular Scooby Doo cartoons. The show premiered to low ratings, earning a whopping 7% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite widespread criticism, HBO Max renewed the show for a second season.

This forced diversity booschitz is getting pretty old. It’s hard to watch TV or movies anymore without asking yourself, “when the hell did I move to Africa?” Now the taxpayers will be supporting the Africans right here in America.

Instead of FBI conspiracies, black Scully will learn about the dangers of a new white supremacist nation trying to proselytize the downtrodden gay 2 year olds.

The “Marlboro Man” is going to be replaced by the Kools or Newport Man.

I’m not sure, but I don’t think we really need a reboot of the x files.

They might as well just remake E.T with a diverse cast and fill it with anti white, anti male and pro alphabet mafia rhetoric.

There's an excellent YouTube channel called The Why Files that I'd recommend over any of this woke garbage.

It's clean, entertaining and tells interesting X-Files type stories in around 20 minutes.

The host seems to be conservative too, or at least libertarian. And his sidekick, Hecklefish, a gold fish with a tinfoil hat over his bowl, is hilarious.

The torching of our culture continues.

I guess we should sort of take it as a compliment. Our culture is the biggest threat to the commies.

"Vape Man" maybe? No ... Most of the audience for this crap would be vaping. Or smoking something.

How about "Chewing Tobacco Man!" With a Southern accent and a MAGA hat. He'll be truly evil!
