I'm reading a book about the folklore used to make Scooby Doo. It's appropriately named Zoinks. I'm enjoying it, but the writing is a bit distracted. Lots of asides with two or three paragraphs.

Anyway, in the first chapter it covers the characters. Velma is covered and there's a whole section dedicated to her being a lesbian. There's a single movie that has her fall in love with a DEI Mary Sue. Good animation but that part of the story ruins it. The book talks about how they tried to make her gay several instances before, but were stopped by Warner Bros execs. The original live action movie was supposed to have a kiss and then the Mystery Incorporated was hinting at it.

In fact, the creators of MI said that the reason why Velma was such a bad girlfriend was because she was actually gay. She was supposed to fall in love with a different character, but WB stopped it.

The movie was supposed to have a kiss between Daphne and Velma. Again Warner Bros stopped it.

So, by the looks of it, the talent has been trying to do this for literal decades. Until 2020, the execs stopped it because they wanted to sell their product. So, unless there's a executive who stops it, the official cannon is that nerds are gay.
