[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved the show as a kid and [b]never once wondered or thought  about the sexual identity of the characters. [/b] I don’t understand the need to define them now in the show- can’t they just solve mysteries and eat Scooby snacks? [/quote]

Daphne & Fred were a couple in the show, so you always knew their sexual identity. Why is that one “OK”?[/quote]

I watched Scooby Doo in preschool and early elementary.  I didn’t know there was such a thing as a sexual identity. I didn’t know the mechanics of sex. I certainly had never experienced sexual attraction to anyone of either gender. I knew that couples kissed (which to me meant a peck, it wasn’t until years later I learned tongues could be involved), but to my best recollection, Fred and Daphne never kissed. [/quote]

So in your mind, Fred and Daphne will still be chaste heterosexuals - but clearly now that Velma is out she'll basically be having porn because that's what it means for a character not to be heterosexual?

What if she's exactly the same as she was, only now we know she's gay. Does that make you feel funny in your private parts?[/quote]

No, and I find that offensive. 
My point is that sexual identity for ALL the characters on this specific show, since it was designed for young kids and never involved anything remotely sexual, should be moot. I don’t think Fred or Daphne should be declared heterosexual. I don’t think Velma should be declared homosexual. I think they should all just continue to be a bunch of platonic friends solving mysteries. [/quote]
