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."
But the actress from Dobie Gillis upon whom her character was based is a radical lesbian activist
I was pleased when they released the Peanuts movie that they really tried to stay true to the art style and characterizations while updating the CGI for modern tastes.
There were a few sexual double-entendres that would go unnoticed to kids.
It thought it was basically a cartoon version of The Honeymooners.
It was based on the Honeymooners, but if you do a web search for “flintstones sexual references”, you will see some of the stuff the writers sneakily got away with.
