Just surprised they explicitly acknowledge it and don't just kinda hint at it or heavily imply it in a way that retains plausible deniability.

She's lesbian in that continuity. You don't think all the Scooby-Doo shows exist in the same world do you?

not really, but that's because of all the conversation around her being lesbian for so long, it makes sense for it to be explored at some point.

You should try not being a bad person.

You would fail, but you should still try.

There's nothing to be surprised about anymore. If an entertainment media doesn't have a character like that these days, I'd be in shock.

When I saw that topic about Velma getting horny for someone, I did assume it would be a guy. So yeah, it was a surprise.

Have you ever seen Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost. She was totally into the guy researching the ghost lore.

Like the person said earlier, it's a different continuity. Velma has expressly been into dudes in some of the older material, but this is a different meta or w/e.

He was voiced by Tim Curry, that doesn't count for or against your sexuality.

I don't remember if the other characters can hear the dog, but I am pretty sure shaggy being a stoner is something subtle they made to make adult laugh

i've never thought anyone SEEMED gay until they told me they were. i don't know how anyone can say "i always knew velma was gay" because wtf is "gay" about her? of course if you had to pick someone to be gay from the existing characters she's the best option.

Just hinting at it is out of fashion and called queerbaiting now. Either put or shut up and they finally put up.

She's shown attraction to men in the movies and shows (even though I haven't watched them since I was a kid), so I just consider her bi.

There's nothing wrong with having bi representation in media. I

Come on. Did you really miss the hook up jokes in scooby doo with Fred and Daphne? Maybe at 5 you did, but at about 12 years old I got it

Not particularly.

If anyone was gonna be gay it was gonna be Velma. Im sure shes had boyfriends over the past 50 years, but none of them are memorable and she conforms to gender roles the least out of the gang, so Im sure she was an easy choice for whoever on the staff decided LGBTQ inclusion would better the project (hopefully not just monetarily, but then Im cynical).

Also, wasnt there a line about her experimenting in college in one of the live action movies. Not that that means shes a lesbian but it implies lesbian acts were performed.

Fred has some vibes though. That damned ascot.

Shaggy also seems like he's straight, but he'd definitely get a bj from a dude.

Daphne for sure though, she's the no-sex-before-marriage type even.

That's comphet. If you looked at any comments section you'd see plenty of women saying that Shaggy is exactly the type of guy a girl would date before she realizes she's lesbian.
