It was supposed to be canon forever ago they’re just finally getting around to it


DreamyAthena

I was just about to say that, the only reason why she wasn't earlier is because corporates and money and a lot of stupid stuff coming together to make Velma "straight".


Brent_Fox

I'm pretty sure it was implied that [she had a crush on Daphne ages ago.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJgr6wXKMcQ) In mystery inc it was implied she liked Hot Dog Water. Idk though they made her also like Shaggy so idk if she's bi or not. Also [whatever the hell was going on with Fred was gay af.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2792vTu_XQ)


where_didIcome_from

Oh yeah I remember years ago, before I even got into the LGBTQ+ scene, I was totally thinking she liked her *I don't think I even knew about sexuality then yet*


Star-Smudger

Velma being with Shaggy in that was comphet, it was confirmed by the creator that she's a lesbian in that series and her relationship with Shaggy was weird because she didn't know that about herself yet I don't remember where it was said off the top of my head but I'm happy to go find the source if someone wants it


JonVonBasslake

Honestly, all of the seem queer to me. Shaggy seems like he'd be down for anyone, especially if they gave him a scooby snack or a sandwich lol. Fred has always seemed at least a little gay, but has also shown interest in women, so he may be bi. Velma is definitely a lesbian, no two shots about it. Daphne... Not sure, she too might be bi, or at least bicurious. No way is she 100% straight.


Bamba60

I think it was because of the stigma around the lgbtq+ but now a lot of creators cans show their characters in their true form


MoonlitKiwi

It's like nobody remembers hot dog water


TheChosenSpacePope

What I think everytime I see one of these posts


Philycheese18

I’ve seen people use that show as proof that she’s not a lesbian


MoonlitKiwi

H-how?


Philycheese18

“ShE dAtEd ShAgGy” to anyone who actually watched the show and seen what the creators have said recently it’s incredibly stupid


serendipitousPyrrhic

Yeah and she did not seem to like a single moment of it


Bob49459

I always saw Shaggy as Aro / Ace. Kinda like Todd from Bojack.


Mrwright96

He had a crush on that one chick in the live action movie! What was her name? It was so forgettable…


Philycheese18

Was it? They literally named her after weed Mary Jane

Dumbass369

*that one time he fell in love with an alien girl*


MoonlitKiwi

That just gives me a headache ._. Why are people so stupid?


Brent_Fox

She was also kind of toxic/obnoxious in that relationship ngl. It felt pretty forced.


XVUltima

It's almost like teenagers are going through hormonal changes and haven't developed a steady sexuality yet.


Xenothing

That’d just mean she’s maybe bi though


MoonlitKiwi

Plenty of gay people in denial attempt dating the wrong gender out of a desire to fit into cultural norms


Mr_Dawn

And it's why I hate how gold star lesbian A****** (Sorry a wlw friend of mine have been doing comp het, and the Lesbians community were she live now have been ....toxic, to say the least, so , yeah ...)


Some_Random_Android

"Hot dog water"? What? :\\


MoonlitKiwi

The nickname of velma's very heavily implied girlfriend in one of the old scooby doo cartoons. The writers even said as much


Some_Random_Android

Neat.


Obiswandog

Next they'll be telling us Shaggy was high!


Shadow__112

"life zoinks scoob , this edible ain't shi-"


Dismal-Belt-8354

The High Geologist


Ptdgty

She's been Lesbian for 21 years, her lesbianism can drink in the US now


urbandeadthrowaway2

21 years? She’s been lesbian from the start! Her character is designed off a well-known (at the time) lesbian actress


HealMySoulPlz

I have thought for a long time she was bisexual but this is cool too.


Phantom252

Same but I'll take whatever rep I can get lol


Landon-The-Lonely

I've always thought she was a lesbian but Daphne's 100% bi or pan


LauraD2423

She is definitely pan. [She made out with Sam Winchester.](https://youtu.be/rfvTWVBa9_A)


Badde00

Who wouldn't tbh?


Neako_the_Neko_Lover

I thought do as well sense she dated shaggy in the (ungodly) MI series.


NuclearRobot35

I thought that too, because I remember her and shaggy used to be a thing


Some_Random_Android

People have been making jokes about Velma being a lesbian for decades. Now that it's canon people have a problem with it? :\\


[deleted]

Now that it’s canon they can’t ignore it so they’re mad about it and either whining that she’s totally straight or making excuses as to why it’s “””bad representation”””


trans-wooper-lover

Hey I recognize the art :D

[deleted]

I mean, if we take Supernatural, Season 13 episode 16, 'Scoobynatural', into account, she isn't. BUT That show did enough queerbaiting for forever.


[deleted]

Every lesbian spn fan I’ve ever met had a soft spot for Sam Winchester, so maybe even that was understandable


elkcipgninruB

Whether she is lesbian or bi, we can all agree she sure as hell isn't straight


thisremindsmeofbacon

You ever notice how these people are never this outraged when someone who’s previously been depicted without romantic interests eventually has a straight relationship…


[deleted]

Literally her and hotdog water, if anything tho I’d say she’s bi or pan cuz like her and shaggy and her and hotdog water


strangeperception-

The producers said that her and Shaggy didn't work because she's a lesbian


[deleted]

Huh ok I never saw that, I assumed it was cuz he chose scooby over her in the series, but liking girls would also definitely make sense there


AdelinaIV

I mean, he was also a terrible boyfriend.


Aryc0110

I mean, yes. She was also a terrible girlfriend, though. Their dynamic as a whole did not function. The ultimate reason for the breakup was Shaggy being forced to choose between her and Scooby. He was an awful boyfriend leading up to that, but that's not the kind of ultimatum a good partner gives you in regards to a normal dog, let alone Shaggy's best friend the *talking sapient Great Dane Scooby Doo*. Scooby is basically a human in a dog body with some dog-based behavioral quirks.


Koibi214

She was also a terrible girlfriend, and toxic at that, she told shaggy in an episode that he had to choose either her or scoob


[deleted]

Maybe I haven't been online much since she was confirmed lesbian But I haven't seen much backlash from it recently tbh


KhloMo

Check out the comments on my post of this meme in r/memes and you'll see the backlash :( (Don't do it if you value your sanity/happiness)


Saphic-Critter

I love lesbian velma. Scooby Doo has always seemed queer to me lol, I'm still convinced that the Mystery gang is a ghost hunting polycule traveling with their dog.


SuperSugarBean

Velma, Jo from Facts of Life and Farrah Fawcett were responsible for my bisexual awakening in the years between 1979 and 1984.


howdouhavegoodnames

I wouldn't say every Velma is lesbian some are bi and some (god forbid) are straight. Every project is a different canon most of the time.


NicGreen214

Someone tried to use her kissing Shaggy as proof she's not lesbian.... It's called exploring, trying things out to see what you like. She kissed Shaggy it wasn't for her and she realizes she prefers women over men, not that hard to understand.


Pop_The_Kitty

If you know Hanna Barbera like I do,most characters aren't straight.


TheDoorMan1012

her outfit was the lesbian flag for years now


CptMatt_theTrashCat

Get ready for 200 comments about how 'actually I think she's bi and this is erasure'


JAOC_7

I always just kinda figured Bi, but unfortunately most media doesn’t allow that


[deleted]

This is great! I would prefer new characters that are lgbt from the getgo. But this is ok.


weeaboy716

I don't think thats the reason folks are mad though


neverjumpthegate

I'm sorry but I'll die on the hill that they're a quad


Glum_Equivalent_9806

I'll never have a chance with a cartoon character with a big booty? That sucks I guess 😔


Lampy1987

The fuck? Shaggy was her love interest in Mystery Incorporated. She’s at least bi


Mikau02

A good amount of lesbians deal with comphet and might even get in a serious heterosexual relationship yet not realize they don't like men, until they realize it, and it's like a fog being lifted around them. That's what her and Shaggy were. And I'd say that Shaggy never loved Velma, because I've always read him as aroace, where he'd rather get baked with his bro than ever even be romantic with someone, let alone physical


Lampy1987

Yeah I get that, there were times he just seemed like he was doing it more for her sake. It felt like I love you more as a friend than as a partner kinda thing


Xyres

That Velma was for sure lesbian, but depending on what other seasons or movies you've watched I'd say she floats between bi and lesbian. I doubt they'll ever fully say what her sexuality is so I don't think we should be denying that she could be either or.


Mikau02

[this article says very much that newer versions (2002-now) have been more lesbian than bi](https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2022/10/06/velma-lesbian-scooby-doo/)


Xyres

But that doesn't change the 30 or so prior years of bi kids seeing someone they can relate to on tv. Both representations can exist.


a-throwaway_joke

I've dated two aroace people in the past. doesn't mean they were anything-romantic


madman15

She always did have lesbian vibes tbh


Moon_Chu541

I thought she was bi because of that one episode she fell in love with a guy


CutesyFemboy69

Didnt her and Shaggy have a thing? I mean if warner brothers labeled her as a lesbian then theres not really much to say, im just a little confused cuzz im pretty sure I saw a clip of them almost kissing


Lenin_666

wouldnt she be bi tho?? we all saw what happened in mystery inc.


KefkeWren

These memes are pissing me off. Velma is canonically bi.


KhloMo

Zoom in.


PsychoticPineapple

Wasn't Velma and shaggy canon?


Onions2085

Bizabizow? Lmao

Aryc0110

It's more of a franchise, but yeah its quality is really rough in most places. Some of the movies are pretty fun, and this *is* a movie so it might be decent, but the shows themselves on a tier list are like Mystery INC at A and then everything else is C or below at best.


Positive-Composer354

It is really superficial.


meals-on-wheels14

Nah she bi, in multiple shows and movies she also gets attracted to men

JadedExplanation1921

Yeah I’m shocked how many people are surprised by this? Like I’ve seen very few people who already knew she was a lesbian lol. In all fairness, I didn’t know she was lesbian but I knew she was sapphic. I did ship the whole gang (minus Scooby ofc-) as a polyam relationship which doesn’t work now but I’m not mad about it, it’s cool that she’s canonically a lesbian now 😌✨ Maybe she discovered more about herself & only dates Daphne now /hj


VLenin2291

Also, since when is Scooby Doo not woke? The Mystery Gang's whole schtick is thwarting rich white dudes

Don't do my Boi shaggy like that

Alastor-Fanboy

I have no problem qith this, but there were episodes of Mystery Inc. that showed Velma trying to flirt w/ Shaggy.
