Right? She was always LGBT. It was clear subtext.[/quote]

How so? Just because she wasn't a Barbie clone? Why does everyone want to classify and type women so badly?[/quote]

DP, the people who have been most vocal about her always been a lesbian to me (both before and after this) had been lesbians. "I see myself in this character" is different than stereotyping.[/quote]

Oh, great, I've been told a number of times that I look like Velma.
So any artsy, bookish brunette with glasses and bangs is now seen as a lesbian. In the USA, of course.[/quote]

Does that bother you? Why?[/quote]

Yes. Because straight people don’t want to be thought of as gay.[/quote]

Why not?[/quote]

Because lesbians are presented in entertainment as unattractive and frumpy and butch-looking and nobody wants to be thought of that way? How in the world should anyone guess you are gay unless it’s by what you look like?

I know you’re waiting to dance around and scream HOMOPHOBIA but it’s a little more complex than that.[/quote]

Are you old? Genuinely asking. Because that’s just not the case anymore. [/quote]

Then why is Velma gay and not Daphne? Or Fred? [/quote]

Because it’s been long established that Daphne and Fred are attracted to each other? It wouldn’t make any sense. [/quote]

How? I’ve seen the original cartoon and got none of that. Fred wears a freakin’ scarf for Christ’s sake. They can’t make him come on to Daphne because he’s been in denial?[/quote]

So. What.[/quote]

What do you mean so what? [/quote]
