HBO and actress Mindy Kaling's "Scooby Doo" spin-off series "Velma" added more controversial content to its repertoire in its latest episode, this time treating sexualizing kids as a joke.

The R-rated humor is just the latest stunt from the HBO animated series, which has already been the subject of many headlines for flipping the concept of the beloved "Scooby-Doo" Mystery Gang on its head in an attempt to appeal to modern audiences.

In addition, the series devotes story beats to portraying former beloved character Fred as a rich White male who gets taken down a peg because of his privilege.

As Fox News Digital previously reported, "Velma" also "features limbs being severed, one of the main characters going to a strip club with her dad, and two teenage boys making out at their high school."

Fox News Digital spoke to conservative Hollywood and entertainment critic Christian Toto about why creators would push a raunchy Scooby-Doo spinoff, just for it to get slammed by audiences.

Toto – who runs the popular conservative film and entertainment commentary site Hollywoodintoto.com – explained that bad reviews entice producers to double down on their creative decisions.
