After year of speculation about her sexuality, Scooby-Doo's Velma Dinkley has finally been confirmed as lesbian in the latest animated film Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! The film shows Velma drooling over costume designer Coco Diablo. They say representation matters so it's great that a main character from a popular long running cartoon is depicted in this way.

Just great. Right when the black mermaid and Lizzo flute crap dies down, now my whole social media feed is gonna be full of "outraged" conservatives screaming about cartoon about a talking dog going "woke."

Apparently it's an origin story telling how the Scooby Doo gang came together to solve mysteries.



But I thought they were supposed to be "meddling kids".

Looking up the actors (none of whom I knew), they range between late Thirties and late Forties. By the time they get round to solving mysteries they'll be senior citizens.

I didn't know there was speculation but it's a fairly stereotypical choice, isn't it?
What about Shaggy, is he gay as well? :)
Ace?

Although it's been widely reported in the media that Velma is a lesbian, I think she's bisexual. I'm sure there was an episode in which she had the hots for a male archaeologist who looked a bit like her, with similar glasses and freckles.
Also in the movies. She has a thing for the horror writer in "The Witches Ghost" and a cop in "Zombie Island."
