so officially Velma is gay now, will that affect the game in any shape or form? :ROFLMAO:
She's not. They claim to have wrote her to be gay in Mystery Incorporated, a show that literally ended on a universe reboot, but they never actually come out and do anything with it, and in the movies she's only ever shown to be into men. Currently Velma is a blob of nothing, as the only Scooby Doo characters who show any interest in romance are Daphne and Scoob.

She was extremely aggressive in trying to get in Shaggy's pants in Mystery Incorporated, so I actually doubt that they intended for her to be gay.

It's insane to me that this dev is only getting $45 a month on Patreon. Maybe an improvement to the gallery would get people interested.

As for Velma being gay, I think Mystery Incorporated is more canon then then 2002 movie. And in MI, she is VERY clearly bi. (Also, the show writers addressed the whole "Freddy is gay" thing as well. He likes Daphne, but he loves traps.)

In my head-canon, Velma is tri-sexual, because she'll 'try' anything twice.

This is *very* important: Is yours a personal opinion? Or is it a legal opion, judicial opinion, or legal precedent?
There are easier lawsuits they would more likely go after before this one. Another question is whether they would want the PR associated with going after a crowd funded porn parody, dev is not exactly making bank.

Even so, they'd most likely end up getting their way by either bankrupting or scaring the dev, rather than winning an actual court case. While character likeness is intellectual property, it should be relatively easy to defend it as fair use.

Hi Cipheos, (y)

Yes, I agree with you, on all your points. :)

The other person hasn't told us, yet, what they meant by there not being anything intellectual. (So, I don't think there is much for you & I to discuss about this at the moment.)

Would you like to see how many people here like Shaggy or Gilligan better? (Or if they care? :giggle:)
