The children’s cartoon Scooby Doo is an American classic that is now being affected by wokeism.
A 13-second clip of the latest “Scooby Doo” movie to be released on streaming services shows that the character Velma Dinkely is gay.
From the Washington Post:
The scene, clipped from “Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!” and shared on Twitter Monday night, starts with Velma as we’ve always seen her: the short brunette bob and bangs; the black, rectangular glasses; that iconic bulky orange turtleneck and maroon pleated skirt. She strides past her fellow sleuths, Daphne Blake and Fred Jones, a box of Scooby snacks in hand to give to the eponymous Great Dane.
But mid-sentence, she trails off.
A lush orchestral arrangement starts playing. A series of captions pops up on the screen, highlighting different features of the woman standing in front of her, the costume-designing crime boss Coco Diablo: “Obviously brilliant!” Incredible glasses!” “Amazing turtleneck!” “Loves animals!”
Velma exhibits all the telltale signs of cartoon swooning. She blushes. Her eyeglasses fog. “Jinkiiiiees,” she sighs.
In a later scene, Velma professes her thirst for Diablo outright to her best friend, Daphne Blake.

Tony Cervone, a supervising producer for animated series from 2010-2013, said that it was always their intention to turn Velma into an LGBTQ icon.
“We made our intention as clear as we could ten years ago. Most of our fans got it. To those that didn’t, I suggest you look closer,” Cervone wrote.
James Gunn, who wrote the two live-action Scooby-Doo movies (that performed terribly), blamed the studio for watering down his 2001 script.
“The studio just kept watering it down & watering it down,” Gunn said. He later deleted the post.
Looks like we will be adding Scooby Doo to the list of ventures that go broke after they go woke.
