Lesbians don't exist. If an overweight, bespectacled, nosy, self-important busybody suddenly declares an interest in women, it's because she can't find a man who's willing to put up with her.
Bobby "Iceman" Drake and his history of dating nothing but women until Jean Grey mindwashed him into being gay.
Tim "Robin" Drake and his history of dating nothing but women until DC mindwashed him into being "bi" despite never again showing interest in women.
On the plus side the most recent Tim Drake comic is bombing so badly that even LGBT fans are now complaining about it and this is my response to their outcry:
You were cheering this up until the moment several pages ago when it started drawing negative attention to you and yours. This is the bed you asked for, lie in it.
I just decided to look over some of the stuff from James Gunn’s Scooby movies… Because I can actually remember them, unlike these “journalists”, apparently.
Dude is fucking lying, here…
Like, it’s just… There’s no way anyone who has actually watched Linda Cardellini in those movies would have assumed she was meant to be portrayed as a lesbian…
Maybe in their weirdo headcanons, but the character she was playing was clearly intended to come across as straight, whatever Gunn’s subsequent retrofitting bullshit might suggest…
Scooby Doo lost its mojo when it stopped revealing the ABSENCE of supernatural crime; which demystification was its Thematic Purpose. The fact that it's pushing anti-humanism on top of abandoning that purpose, is just furry fart sprinkles on a canine crap cake.
But that's what made the original Zombie Island movie so special.
After about 30 years of fakes, they finally come face-to-face with REAL monsters, and they reacted surprisingly realistically. It even takes Fred about half the movie to accept it's not some advanced fakery, because of all they've seen and done together.
It's what I love about it.
...That being said, those movies they made in the '80s, like Reluctant Werewolf, sucked.
One capstone inversion can be cute, I guess. Expectations dashed: O What A Surprise! etc. But Inverting All The Things - including wholesomeness - isn't cute, or even middling. It's straight up shark-jumping evil.
Reluctant Werewolf was almost certainly an original movie that slapped name branding on to help sell than Scooby Doo. Most of the 80s was like that, but that one much more so.
Meh. People have been joking about Velma and Daphne being in lesbian for each other for decades. No different to joking about Shaggy being a stoner. That said, doubt they're making it as a joke.

Laughs in late 90s/early 2000s Scooby Doo movies
She’s actually quite attractive in those. Deliberately so. And that’s despite what Gunn is claiming here…
The only good Scooby movie is the original Zombie Island.
They also like to imitate what they 'think' a man is.
Nothing says lesbian like an uninterrupted string of crushes on dudes.
Similar situation with:
Bobby "Iceman" Drake and his history of dating nothing but women until Jean Grey mindwashed him into being gay.
Tim "Robin" Drake and his history of dating nothing but women until DC mindwashed him into being "bi" despite never again showing interest in women.

It didn't help the art was also shit.
Well it wouldn’t be 2020s mainstream western children’s media without trying to propagandize LGBT, so who the hell is surprised really?

Canonically, she is not a lesbian.
Implying that she is specifically goes against Canon, and is nothing more than a deliberate corruption…
Much like the Little Mermaid is not black, and Rangz of Kangz is patently not canon, lol…
Isn't being a lesbian a little trans-star-phobic? ONLY being attracted to women, when there's seventy-two genders out there?
Cancel Velma!
I realize no one cares, but they did the same thing to Starfire (and less so, Raven) from Teen Titans, too…
Which makes, frankly, even less sense…
Just ignore current media. Simples…
Wait they made those two lesbians too? I thought each was dating robin and beast boy?
Oh you sweet summer child… /s
They were. In the same time period as Velma existed as definitely-not-a-lesbian…
But that was “in the past”. Now? They’re both “gay”, and retconning makes this canon.
Because this is a culture war, and how do you expect them to “win” if they can’t corrupt all popular kid’s entertainment, lol..?
Unironically, have you seen what they replaced Teen Titans Go (actually ok, at times) with??
I can’t even remember the name of the series, it’s so bad, but it’s so ugly (art, story, dialogue) that it has to be intentional…
And naturally, in that, they make them “queer”…
Frankly it’s just sad. Not surprising, just sad.
After dating Shaggy, no other man could equal up...
Women love a man who has a dog.

EDIT: Goodbye, Phoenicia...

Yeah, the only half-decent movie out of the Superstars 10 was The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones.
I guess it depends how old you are.
I really enjoyed the early 2000s cartoons, and slightly less so the movies (2 >> 1), despite, yes, that difference from the original…
But if you grew up with the Hanna-Barbera originals, I can see how that would jar somewhat… As would Scrappy’s portrayal in the movie, lol…
And only a few years ago she was chasing after Sam Winchester.
Oh please, everyone knows she was Bi and no one was up to her standards. Totally into slash fiction and braiding her pubic hair.

They are clearly not making it as a joke so I do not understand why you made this pointless comment
