She’s gay,” he explained. “I don’t think Marcie and Velma had time to act on their feelings during the main timeline, but post reset, they are a couple. You can not like it, but this was our intention.
“In 2001 Velma was explicitly gay in my initial script,” he tweeted in 2020. “But the studio just kept watering it down & watering it down, becoming ambiguous , then nothing & finally having a boyfriend .” “I love the animation,” one person tweeted. “But not as much as I love Velma being who she truly is!!! Unapologetically lesbian. Perfection.”
