Scooby Doo’s Velma Comes Out As Lesbian

Hollywood can’t stop their need to make everything woke. In a new Scooby-Doo cartoon movie on Prime Video, Velma comes out as a lesbian.

In a clip teasing the new movie, Velma’s interaction with a female costume designer, Coco Diablo, leaves Velma blushing and crushing on Coco.

Scooby-Doo premiered in CBS in 1969. For 53 years Velma was depicted as straight with frequent innuendos of a crush on her male cartoon co-star Shaggy.
But in today’s Hollywood, everything must genuflect to the LGBTQ crowd, even a kids cartoon.

Just what we need, more ways to destroy the innocence of children. Sigh.

I always remembered her as the smart one, the one in the group that had the brains to solve the mystery. She wasn't interested in love- just catching the ghost so Fred cold unmask it and take all the credit. Why did they have to give her sexual preferences and tell us about it? Why do we care what any of the characters feel about other boys and girls? We want to watch them unmask fake ghosts.

@joe438 Thanks Joe - for some reason, comments on comments are not allowed to be BEST comment.
Thank you for promoting this one!

You got right to the heart of the matter IMO -

@Budwick Thanks. I don't want to sweep social issues under the rug to be forgotten, but if you can do a job, I'll hire you regardless of who you sleep with and whether you self identify as a sea mammal or not. I also will watch a fun cartoon without wondering who the characters sleep with. Given when this cartoon was made it was actually ahead of its time making the smart, confident one a female.

Velma was straight? Huh. Always thought she was a carpet muncher. I never liked Scooby Doo. Same story every episode. Seen one you’ve seen them all.

@joe438 Joe, if you make this into a comment rather than a reply, I can make it best answer!

Its in the schools too. Childhood is not innocent anymore 😢

I am so tired of this nonsense.

How much can these woke fanatics destroy? James Bond is next.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@graphite I just heard this AM that the next Bond will be more 'sensitive'.
Oy vey!

graphite · 61-69, M

@Budwick Yes, they are going to destroy the character.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@graphite There's been a bunch of 'em that played the character.
Only one or two that didn't really pull it off - IMO

Not surprised. To be honest, I never found Velma attractive, even though she's just a cartoon character. Even back then, I found a handful of Hanna Barbera characters to be LGBT. The Great Gazoo from the Flintstones for example. Some people were even implying that Dr. Quest and Reed Bannon were more than just friends.

stratosranger · M

Harvey Korman voiced the Great Kazoo. Characters he portrayed were always flamboyant but gay? 🤔 @Barefooter25

Barefooter25 · 46-50, M

@stratosranger The late Paul Lynne also voiced a few Hannah Barbera characters. They were also considered flamboyant.

stratosranger · M

Those were definitely gay! 😆 @Barefooter25

It's best if we just don't mention any old movies or Cartoon shows.

We don't want any Wokes to target the rest because I have a feeling we're being stalked by sharing Data with other huge Corporations.

If I bring up my favorite Cartoon and then. The next Day Disney will make a movie about it while shitting on it.

Velma Gay!!! Shock horror!!!

She's been suspected of being a lesbian for nearly 50 years...this is nothing new. She was going to be gay 20 years ago in the movie but the studio insisted they implicitly made her out to be straight

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

Jumping on the old bandwagon. It is a little much at times.

@JimboSaturn

a knee jerk reaction to try to avoid losing customers or whatever..

That's the thing - would one kid have not wanted to see the movie if Velma just remained Velma?
My guess is no - not a single one.

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

@Budwick I just think they need to chill; just because there is not a gay character, it doesn't mean you are homophobic or not LBTG friendly.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@JimboSaturn Agreed.
Do me a favor Jimbo, I have a doctor appt this afternoon - can you give Scooby a call and give him the new? LOL

vorian · 51-55, M

Why does this annoy you? Lesbians existed before "woke" (whatever that is).... and how does it destroy the innocence of children?

CopperCicada · M

I am just going to point out that a high-school girl crushing on another girl doesn’t necessarily mean she’s a lesbian.

SmoothKnight · 51-55, M

Why don't they come up with their own cartoon and do what they want with it instead of taking something classic and doing this to it?

Rolexeo · 26-30, M

Tbf, she always looked lesbian

Scooby must be neutered, NOW!!

BeachGirl47 · 26-30, F

Boycott the show

ViciDraco · 36-40, M

I always figured she was Bi with a slight lean towards asexual.

But then again, what's the problem here? About 20% of Gen Z identify as lgbtq+. That's one in five. The gang is 4 people and a dog. That's a pretty good chance of one of them being so if they had realistic representation of today's youth.

I don't see the problem here.

Is she the first Scooby Doo character to have any sexual orientation?

MonaReeves86 · 36-40, F

Why would they do that
