Ugh. That always annoyed me. It's like, because she doesn't look girlier and pretty like Daphne, then she's a lesbian?

[–][deleted] 14 insightful - 2 fun14 insightful - 1 fun15 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

That's so insulting, really. Just because some woman is nerdy and a little less feminine than other women, doesn't mean that she's a lesbian for fuck's sake.

[–]FlyingKangaroo 10 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Exactly. Such cases insult me as a kind of a nerdy woman.

There’s also the whole thing with the queers hijacking cartoons for representation.

At some point society started to rebel against the harmful stereotypes of men and women in media because barely anyone actually looks like the "idealized" version of what they were showing. Now we've moved to a different version where the unrealistic stereotypes are "good" and if you don't conform to that exact stereotype then you must be trans or "LGBTQ+".

Yeah it's the same shit from the 90's all over again. You aren't the Hollywood ideal of sexy? Gay! You like stuff that isn't stereotypical of your sex? Gay!

Very regressive bullshit.

[–]QueenBread 13 insightful - 2 fun13 insightful - 1 fun14 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

This is pretty much why they now claim she is lesbian. This is the opposite of lesbian acceptance, this is stereotyping them negatively.

At least they didn't make her ftm

[–]jet199 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It's because she has her sleeves rolled up all the time, that's a tell.

[–]r2d2_21 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I mean, I've seen many posts shipping her specifically with Daphne, so I don't know if that's the reason.

Why is Google editorialising their search results?

Also seems to be a very strange thing to celebrate especially as it isn’t like there aren’t plenty of gay and lesbian characters in media.

Have they done it for any other searches?

[–]kingc-way245The Blackface of White Supremacy[S] 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Nope. It only happens with Velma.

Why is Google editorialising their search results?

Because they're squaring up to control your thoughts and opinions on a scale that would make Twitter and Reddit absolutely shit themselves with envy.

[–][deleted] 11 insightful - 2 fun11 insightful - 1 fun12 insightful - 2 fun -  (21 children)

Velma is lesbian? Since when? Didn't she had crush on Shaggy? That girl were never originally a lesbian, this just a dumb pandering.

That’s what the western entertainment industry has been doing for the past decade: changing a character’s race, gender and/or sexuality in an attempt to appeal to a few Twitter users even if it contradicts the actual story.

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

Yes, I'm already aware of that.

Not sure why entertainment producers are doing this.....pandering to a small but loud minority and pissing off the core audience is dumb and financially risky.

Because the, for want of a better word, Woke have taken over positions of power in the corporations, media and government and they’ve used social media to make their numbers seem far greater than they really are and most importantly, suppress dissent.

It will most likely take major shareholder actions to unseat the executives at the media corporations behind this stuff, and I’m actually surprised that the mismanagement of major IP like Star Wars hasn’t caused Disney legal trouble especially after the dismal performance of their SW movies post TLJ and the dire TV shows (except for The Mandolorian), and it looks like Marvel Studios is being mismanaged the same way.

[–]Vulptexghost fox girl ^w^ 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Are you kidding? How could Disney possibly get in legal trouble? They're one of the government's best friends. They get you in legal trouble.

[–]ClassroomPast6178 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The “legal trouble” I was referring to was legal action by their shareholders rather than the government.

[–]LyingSpirit472 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Are you kidding? The mismanagement of these major IP is a STONE GROOVE to Disney because they win either way.

If the newer, Woker, IP succeeds...well, the new woke IP succeeds and they laugh their way to the bank that they gave the whiny rubes a new bauble to pretend Disney cares about them, so they'll support all of Disney's other things too.

If the new, Woke IP fails...well, then they can pivot around and cry and whine and play victim and blame the EEEEEEVUL white cishet men for not supporting this new part of the IP when all they ever wanted to do was give poor minority people a hero that looked like them or wanted to have sex with something they want to have sex with, honest, but those mean white mean cis mean straight mean men wouldn't LET THEM because they're mean and hate any hero who isn't straight, white, cis, and male. What's the REAL "Cancel Culture", HUH? ...and then the writers get to get out of this nerd stuff and into that sweet, sweet activist/Venmo victim money!

Shareholders, especially institutional shareholders, like pension funds, don’t give a fuck about wokeness or The Message, they only care about returns on investment. So if you’re not putting them sweet, sweet zeros on the balance sheet, you’re going to get fucked… just ask the makers of the Batgirl film, because they ran smack bang into a new CEO that realised that companies need to turn a profit and his role was to serve the interests of the shareholders and not the dangerhair crowd. Although he may be about to get fucked by the shareholders too.

[–]LyingSpirit472 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I thought the Batgirl movie was less because of the dangerhair crowd and more "it didn't matter what it was- it was made, they realized they could get a nice big tax writeoff for it, and cutting it could cut a big chunk of what they lost for the sale off the books.

[–]ClassroomPast6178 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It was a tax writeoff, but other rumours I’ve heard was that, despite having a competent directing team, the executive meddling in the script and casting made it so bad that they couldn’t risk releasing it as a box office flop would do damage to the DC IP and other releases. I’ve seen some on-set footage of a scene being filmed and the actress playing Batgirl couldn’t even manage to run in a non-comedic fashion even when they changed her into comfortable shoes.

They’re really concerned about Black Adam and Shazam 2, Black Adam is supposed to be dreadful despite having The Rock.

[–]ClassroomPast6178 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

appeal to a few Twitter users

Who generally don’t spend any money nor ever cared about the IP before or in future.

See Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, DC, and most sadly LotR.

The collapse of SW merchandising would be hilarious if it wasn’t testament to the destruction of the IP on the altar of The Message.

The one heartening thing has been the wholesale rejection of RoP by long time Tolkien fans. It has also revealed the corruption at the heart of the media review journalism with the positive coverage they’ve been given despite the show sucking harder than a Brie Larson simp on toe day.

Is JJAbrams involved in this shit, he’s been responsible for such huge amounts of cultural vandalism (SW,ST,LotR) that future generations will consider him one of the true evils of the 21st century.

I actually liked the new Star Trek movies. But maybe it's because they're all split off into their own discrete timeline from the "core" universe, whereas Star Wars and LotR are "canon" to the stuff that doesn't suck.

[–]Alienhunter糞大名 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah Star Trek has always played it fast and loose with "canon" so even if they want to ignore everything that came before, the movies can still be decent. Abrams Star Trek was just pew pew actiony Star Wars rip-offs, shame it gets away from the more philosophical and thoughtful style of star trek but it's a business and the movies are perfectly watchable action romps even if they are barely star trek movies. Didn't bother me much. The later TV shows though, Picard especially, holy shit that stuff is bad. Unwatchable garbage.

Abrams Star Wars movies are also purely watchable somewhat enjoyable action romps but it's worse there because while we can say the first star wars movie was that, the sequels tried to tie in some kind of gravitas and weight to the story with the whole luke Vader and emperor dynamic, and the prequels were maligned but secretly amazing because Lucas did the whole bait and switch where you think you're going to watch star wars but you get to watch space CSPAN isntead. (Which is also why another greatly maligned movie in the west is amazing (shin-godzilla) basically no monster, you just watch bureucrats freaking out for two hours. It's excellent)

But the Disney shit just throws away any semblance of plot or good story for just carbon copies of the old movies with uncreative Hollywood bullshit gotchas in an attempt to add spice. That last one was ironically funny because of how fucking dumb it is. Riding horses on a fucking spaceship, DBZ Kamehameha battle with palatine. The whole thing was like watching what a 5 year old would write if you gave him too much sugar.

LOTR has been shit since the garbage hobbit movies. No respect for the source material, only respect for box office returns. Again actually enjoyed the third one but only due to being inebriated and laughing at how fucking horrid it was. Sauron rave, Legolas jumping up shit.

Now that you mention it actually, I think Velma’s the only one of the Scooby gang who’s gone through any change whatsoever. She was Latina at one point, black I think, and now she’s a lesbian. They just don’t like the idea of a nerdy white straight girl huh?

But nobody cares, or ever did, about Scrappy. So nothing of value was lost :D.

[–]jacques1102 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I legit remember her having a crush on Johnny Bravo as well.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I remember now

Also, didn't she had a crush on some proffesor who later was revealed to be a villain or something? Not sure if I remember it correctly, though.

[–]Wanderingthehalls 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

In Mystery Incorporated from 2010 she briefly dated Shaggy but ended up with Marcie Fleach a girl from her school that everyone had called Hotdog Water. So this is actually just bi erasure!

[–]Vulptexghost fox girl ^w^ 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

don't worry. lesbians have to like dick now. shaggy can just idenfity as a woman. so nothing really changed.

Looked it up, found this article

Google is showering Velma with confetti and gay-pride flags after the longtime member of the “Scooby-Doo” crew has officially been confirmed as a lesbian. In a new Easter egg that appeared Wednesday, Google Search queries for “Velma,” “Velma Scooby-Doo,” “Velma Dinkley” (the character’s full name) and even “Dinkley” yield a regular search-results page — along with a cascade of multicolored confetti and various LGBTQ flags.

.

Okay, I guess my next question is why are they sexualizing a kids show? (Rhetorical question, we all know why)

You know we got some cis school kids to trans, so Groomy-Doo, be ready for your act. They wont fight back!

Wait, I thought lesbians were problematic. Which is to say, I'm surprised they didn't make her trans.

[–]ClassroomPast6178 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Just wait and watch them make Daphne trans.

I imagine an awesome story line where Shaggy goes trans so he can finally be with Velma in a beautiful lesbian romance as God intended.

[–]ClassroomPast6178 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

If they trans any character it’ll be Daphne, it’ll turn out she was MtF all along. Fred will be a Dean Pelton-esque caricature and Shaggy will be a FtM.

Am I the only one whose noticed that "woke" reboots of classical cartoons seem to share alot of subtle common characteristics? They have biracial characters with unnaturally colored hair forcibly inserted who dress in a gen-z way that is a completele asynchronism to the way the other characters dress, and completely shit on original characterization like by animating the original characters with very retarded expressions (Like nu-Powerpuff Girls). I mean what the fuck is up with Velma's face? Why is she making some weeb :3 face? For god's sake, just make your own cartoons at least and stop superimposing your shit on classical ones.

She's also canonically been attracted to Shaggy. Stop trying to re-write every character to be queer.
