Dear Kevin Tsujihara,

 Hello, I hope your doing fine, but enough salutation, let’s get down to business  I’m writing this letter to tell you that the way you displayed the stereotypes of women are very clever, showing the two sides of the coin, the rich pretty but stupid women and the shy nerdy smart women, makes me feel a kind of equilibrium between wether to complain or to praise the show, that's why I will tell you both things.
First the bad things, don't you think that using the stupid pretty girl is a bit overused? Like really, almost in every show that you see you will find this stereotypes, and where's the strong and independent women who can make decisions by her self? Now a days is an important thing to show, feminists are slowly growing as a group and soon those kind of stereotypes will not appear more in the media, you'll have to change that if you want to make business in this years or if you don't want to be killed by the feminists around the world. Maybe you should try to change your producers or the creative stuff or tell them to go out of their cave and see what’s going on.
Another thing that I noticed is the way you portrayed women with the colours of their clothes, the purple dress the rich and glamorous Daphne and orange to Velma, this colour is strictly related to the ability of being empathic, of having a special connection with people. This is a colour that almost every time is worn (in movies, shows, and others) by people who are very timid or shocked by something, bullying most of the time, for example in “Ed, Edd and Eddy” the one who always wears this colour is the one who is known for being the geeky of the group, the one who was always bullied, Edd. Chromatic references can also be applied to the character of Shaggy, he always uses green, this colour is worn by people who are relaxed, or dumb, maybe both. In “Ed, Edd and Eddy” this colour is used by Ed who is the idiot of the group, the one who doesn’t worry about anything, and has also an special ability to get lost in his own world, defying the laws of this world where he lives in.
 Apart from that I really liked the show and enjoyed it, and I think that I got the message that you were trying to give, this message really touched me, because it’s so real and applicable in the world which we live in. Monsters don’t exist, because the only monster that you’ll find is the human being. Other positive aspect that I found is that the secondary characters seem to fit well in the story, and women are very neutral and general characters, they never seem to change and have a profile that isn’t affected with the stereotypes of the women.
 If you want my total approval and the general approval of the audience you’ll need to make an strong independent girl, and trying to change the profiles of the characters, making Daphne not so glamorous and make Velma less of a nerd could make it, trying to make them a little bit more neutral about things.
