Scooby-Doo's Velma Is a Lesbian, Producer Confirms (barf alert)

Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated producer Tony Cervone confirmed a long-standing theory by explaining that the show's incarnation of classic Scooby-Doo! character Velma Dinkley was, in fact, written as a gay woman.

Cervone interjected during an argument between two Scooby-Doo! fans in the comment section of an Instagram post, which had depicted Velma and the character of Marcie Fleach in a romantic relationship. One commenter decried the post on the grounds that Mystery Incorporated saw Velma in a relationship with Shaggy Rogers, while another cited previous revelations about the show pertaining to how Velma and Marcie were ostensibly both bisexual and how there were plans for Velma to break up with Shaggy. It is at this point that Cervone chimed in.

"I've said this before, but Velma in Mystery Incorporated is not bi. She's gay," the producer wrote. "We always planned on Velma acting a little off and out of character while she was dating Shaggy because that relationship was wrong for her and she had unspoken difficulty with the why. There are hints about the why in that episode with the mermaid, and if you follow the entire Marcie arc it seems as clear as we could make it 10 years ago."

Despite apparently not being allowed by the network to address Velma's sexuality in more explicit terms at the time (Mystery Incorporated ran from 2010 to 2013), Cervone explained, "I don't think Marcie and Velma had time to act on their feelings during the main timeline, but post reset, they are a couple. You can not like it, but this was our intention."

Yep she's a lesbian depite the fact she was dating Shaggy throughout the series and a great number of other male love interests. Can imagine Hanna and Barbera spinning in their graves right now.

Next you’re going to tell me that Peppermint Patty is a lesbian, too.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

New bombshell: Shaggy smoked dope! That’s why he’s able to eat Dagwood-sized sandwiches in one bite.

[Lurker]

No, Peppermint Patty was in a 3 way interracial polygamous relationship.

L

[BlackAdderess]

Well, she wasn’t one in the Scooby movies. She apparently was put out by Fred always pairing off with Daphne and she had a thing with Patrick Wisely.

Raping my childhood

But the actress from Dobie Gillis upon whom her character was based is a radical lesbian activist who coordinated homosexual activism with the second Darren Stevens on Bewitched.

[Rebelbase]

No, but Ginger and Mary Ann were.

[AAABEST]

She was always kind of a plane Jane - which is often a catalyst for going to the other side.

Also, Daphne was sooo much hotter, which couldn't have helped.

[BlackAdderess]

Nah, Peppermint Patty was a stalker.

AP Wire: Actual footage of Shaggy letting his freak flag fly ....

[AAABEST]

lol... I said “plane” instead of “plain,” cuz I’m dumb.

[escapefromboston]

Because she has short hair and wears baggy clothing Velma is suppose to be gay? Kinda homophobic really.

[workerbee]

Why sure, because all smart, science-inclined, not-so-pretty women must be lesbians, right? They just can't be smart, science-inclined, not-so-pretty and "normal".

These perverts make me sick.

[FrdmLvr]

A lesbian? What? Lesbians are SO last year!

[Flycatcher]

The Left takes spiteful “joy” in ruining everything.

They have to do this. In the game of real life, they’re losers.

[yuleeyahoo]

Why do these people have the overwhelming need to pervert everything they touch?

[BlackAdderess]

Thank you!

[a fool in paradise]

On the tv show Dobie Gillis, the plain girl was always trying to c*** block Dobie's pursuit of the hot blonde he was infatuated with.

It makes sense that a radical feminist would do it just out of spite.

Joe Biden started all of this with administrative acceptance of homosexual ‘marriage’

I imagine God is done with it. With western culture.

[Codeflier]

Yes, they probably will call her a “TERF” and want her canceled.
