[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does nobody else find it misogynist that the homely, less attractive girl must be lesbian?  We have not come as far as some people think. This screams of sexism to me.  [/quote]

The original series was released in 1969.  It's not shocking that a show from that time would make the less "hot" one a lesbian.  But people are really deranged if they think anyone talking about the subtext is pinning it all on her hair.  It was the 60s/70s - there were not many female archetypes at the time.  There was the hot chick (Daphne), the homely or fat chick (usually defined by her pining for some/all boy characters and their disgust at her attentions), and the mom.  The subtext around Velma was not that she was brunette.  It's that she was part of the group, not disdained by anyone for her unsexiness, and never shown pining for any boy character.  She wasn't one of the typical "girl" options.

And yes, as times and attitudes around LGBT evolved, she has been portrayed as pretty instead of completely unsexed (SMG), and now will be out instead of closeted.  But the character is the same.[/quote]

Seems like many here haven't even seen the old cartoons. Do they not allow cartoons in your religious cult?
