Hollywood Turning a Decades Old Cartoon Character into a Lesbian is Not “Groundbreaking”

Velma

It’s never a slow news day, and I confess I had planned to drop a climate post in this spot, but then I tried over some stupid on my way there, and it demanded that I write about it. Velma from Scooby Doo, the brainy girl with glasses, is officially a lesbian.

Clips from the brand new movie “Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!,” which show the Mystery Inc. member googly-eyed and speechless when encountering costume designer Coco Diablo, have gone viral on Twitter, confirming suspicions held by the “Scooby” fan base for decades.

“OMG LESBIAN VELMA FINALLY,” reads one tweet, which has over 100,000 likes.

Not for nothing, but Netflix would have made her a black-skinned Asian lesbian, which (coincidentally) is what HBO did. #Velma is from India (part of Asia) and is dark-skinned. I’m not sure what her pronouns are, or if she prefers the penis or the vagina but to make up for that, HBO took the rest of “The Gang,” except for idiot Fred, and race-shifted away from white.

 

I don’t want to show off my psychic powers, but something tells me that Fred hasn’t been kept white so that his character can be treated with respect and dignity.

Oh, apparently there’s no Scooby-Doo in a Scooby-Doo derivative rip-off show. How do these Hollywood Geniuses keep reading my mind about what I most want in a Scooby-Doo reboot?!

 

Ace of Spades has more details and some entertaining #GoWokeGoBroke stuff that might make you smile. Gay Superman (Jon Kent) got canceled by DC Comics for reasons known to everyone, but whoever thought it was a good idea. That’ll happen when you exist inside a fishbowl.

Critizive middle America and flyover country all you like, but they are your customers, and given how little disposable income is left after two years of uninterrupted Democrat rule, even if they found a few bucks in the couch, giving it to people who hate their way of life and insult them for being too stupid to embrace their enlightened lifestyle seems unlikely.

There’s also a rumor that it was just plain old bad. Lousy. Garbage. And that’s typical. When the story centers almost entirely on someone coming out of whatever it is, even fans who might be willing to let that pass will stop paying attention. Okay, he’s gay. Is there another story in here someplace? Because, and maybe you missed this, the majority of plotlines in most superhero stories spend little or no time on who they’d like to F***!

There’s nothing groundbreaking about it, and it’s gotten a bit tired.
