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."
Peppermint Patty and Marcie never made any sense with that whole “sir” thing.
“Next youre going to tell me that Peppermint Patty is a lesbian, too.”
You mean her real name isn’t Patrick?
Really, if they wanted to be open minded she’d be in a sexual relationship with Scooby.
Some museum recently was highlighting ancient Greek or Roman works that portrayed explicit same sex relations. Why not human and animal relations or those with minors which were part of the custom in those cultures thousands of years ago.
The perverts never quit forcing or sneaking their garbage on us
trans
Well at least she wasn’t into a cross species relationship with the shows title character.
Beat me to it - you know there’s just got to be some bestiality they’re holding back on for now.
Liberals destroy everything they get a hold of.
Ive got no problems with gay characters. I have a problem with revisionism perpetuating stereotypes.
What BS.
Tony Cervone was 3 years old when Scooby Doo began.
He had no role in creating Scooby Doo.
He didn’t work on any Scooby Doo until 2010, more than 40 years after it was created.
Because they are all so unhappy and have No real Life
“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.”
She wanted Dobie and in fact married him.
So your theory is carp.
It was Marci
They have to rewrite/taint/warp/pervert everything don’t they?
Tell me cwii isn’t necessary.
Succinct tweet I came across:
“No.
The post-hoc commentary of a producer is literally no more significant to what is actually part of the show than fan-fiction.
The text stands on it’s own and in the actual text of Mystery Incorporated Velma isn’t gay.
‘Intent’ is meaningless.”

How conservative and mainstream of them. Unwilling to go trans, and not exploring the reationship between Scooby and Shaggy.
I always thought she was.
Everyone knows that lesbians are haters that are transphobic. Next thing you know, the Lesbians are going to be wearing MAGA hats.
