Why is Velma more popular than Daphne now?
Nerds have lost so much confidence they can't even imagine being with someone unobtainable.
>>153154503Combination of that, and obesity rates going up so much that we've adjusted our preferences. Everybody wants to plap thicc girls now. Also, look at how Velma is drawn there - curvy and sexier than Daphne. In the original show she's more dumpy and plain rather than having sexy curves. I can easily see why idealized Velma is more appealing than Daphne.
Fanart, also, incel insecurities
>imagining Frank Welker's voice saying "ghastly gooners"
>>153154477Obtainable?
>>153154521>Everybody wants to plap thicc girls now.That's not exactly an unfounded thing.
>>153154503FPBP
>>153154503this i started jerking to the velmas and then eventually moved to the background side character since nobody with an interesting life would like me and now i am at the point where i only jerk to the idea of getting fucked by fat ugly men becuase i honestly cant imagine anyone else would want me sexual way
>>153154534No I agree. It's more like, more people realized something great was there all along.
>>153154477Daphne has less going on. Velma just has more personality.And I'm not talking about her tits.
Forced meme
>>153154503Velma is unobtainable lmaoWhat you smokin?
>>153154562*fanart velma is unattainable
>>153154477Daphne is hot and all, but she didn't serve much of a function in most of the episodes. Very few lines and not much to do. They just needed a warm body to keep Fred company when the funny characters peeled away to do funny stuff.
>>153154477Contrarianism
>>153154524Which Welker voice? I know you mean Fred, but what about Megtron, Soundwave, Rumble, or Dr Claw?
Daphen is better, overall. And she's not "unobtainable" as msot retard would like to think. Like, if she was a bratty, rich cunt, she would't hang out with the gang, likez come one, how come you can't figure that out just from looking at those bozos
>>153154477Velma was always the hot one
>>153154477>nowDaphne is a nothing character. Velma was always doing shit.
>>153154622Hanging around you and dating you are two different things.
>>153154622>if she was a bratty, rich cunt, she would't hang out with the gang>Two rich guys with numerous connections around the world.>A world-renowned genius girl, also with numerous connections.>A dog of royal lineage.Let's not pretend the gang are "normal" guys.
>>153154477>redditbuddy
>>153154477>now??????????????Velma was the goon-to before 4chan even existed.
There was an old thread around all this which pointed out the Scooby gang started being interpreted differently as you go into the 1980s.In the 70s, both Velma and Daphne wore clothes largely typical of the times, but as the 80s and 90s rolled around, movies like Breakfast Club and such did untold amounts of damage by creating a sense of mythos around highschool cliques and subcultures, and applied this. Since Velma was already "the smart one", she retroactively became more of a trope by being "the nerdy girl who doesn't care about the social hierarchy"And as it stood, pop culture at the time almost always romanticized that girl as being "actually better but you just can't tell because you're shallow"From here it got stupider and stupider. Once the 2000s took off, she was basically redeveloped with this lens in mind
>>153154477Now?Hasn't this been kind of a debate since our grandpas were fapping to cartoons?Kind of seems like it has been a bit skewed in Velma's direction for at least as long as I have been around. Classic Daphne didn't have much personality or a real role in the team while Velma was an active participant. That is why they have been trying to give her a new gimmick every other series since the mid-80's.This is coming from someone who actually thinks Daphne is best girl in the shows where she has stuff going but I am not going to pretend like she wasn't just sort of there taking up space in the classic show.
>>153155096>Hasn't this been kind of a debate since our grandpas were fapping to cartoons?No. There was discourse with the wives from the flintstones but Daphne was always the boomer /co/waifu.
>>153154477She’s always been more popular, that’s why she’s in every version while Daphne is not.
>>153154578Yeah, Daphne was by far the most boring character on the show. It's not hard to see why people would be more interested in Velma for non-gooner reasons, then they get old enough to want to see her tits and ass, too.
>>153154477Monster/Scooby bait
>>153154788You do know how you start dating someone, right, anon?>>153154891They had an expanded family because of Hannah Barbera's need to extend this shit forever
>>153154578What did Velma do other than say jinkies and lose her glasses? All these characters were paper-thin.
Velma is the low hanging fruit. They think, “I have no chance with Daphne, but I might with Velma.” Hell, go on instagram. Women that are 3s and 4s have guys giving likes and heart emojis. Then there’s the internet. Off model fan art, and sexy cosplay girls tend to be her. (It helps getting a Velma costume cheap is way easier than Daphne.)
>>153154477This reminds me of that one time when the fortnite Scooby skins first premiered, I instally got into a mic up lobby to see how many people were debuting the Velma skin, and I ended up simpin for a Velma who was able to mimmick the exact same voice as that of the character; she was roleplaying as a streaper while me and eveyone else around her were simpin super fucking hard. Best day of my life.
>>153155601Found and put together clues, came up with the plan to build traps.
>>153155096>That is why they have been trying to give her a new gimmick every other series since the mid-80's.Shame. I'd rather they lean into her ultra-feminine snooty rich girl traits and emphasize how she's the social butterfly of the team. Why are they afraid? Also her hypnosis obsession should be brought up more.
>>153155649Damn, that does sound hot.
>>153154477Honestly why is Daphne even hanging out with them?
>>153155654>Found and put together cluesEveryone found clues, but Velma and sometimes Fred could identify them right away. >came up with the plan to build trapsThat's more Fred. Velma does the research.
>>153154477She's one of the most projected on to characters in /co/ history.
>>153154978This. Stuff like Fred and Daphne being a couple wasn't officially added until much later.
>>153154477Geek chic and feminism murdered the popularity of cheerleader types. There's no appeal to airhead sluts anymore. The kind of guys who would've been fine with an airhead slut back in the day now either want a more wholesome airhead or a freakier slut respectively.
>>153155688She pays for everything.
>>153155688She has a canonical hypnosis fetish and wandering around playing damsel in distress is the best way to get her fix.
>>153155688>white woman>big dogIt's easy to figure out when you put all the clues together.
>>153155144Lol retarded zoomer
>>153154978>Breakfast ClubChrist I hate that movieThe best scene was when the Principal threatened the criminal kid and he immediately broke down.
>>153155096>emphasize how she's the social butterfly of the teamIIRC What's New era Daphne was like that. She had social connections which was sometimes how the gang was able to travel to so many different places.
>>153155688They're her friends.
>>153154911>White face, features>NUH UH BIG BOOTY = GROIDYou must be 18+ to post here
Was there even anything in the original series that stated Daphne or Fred were popular kids? I just remember the gang all being mystery solving goofballs.
>>153154503Man I hate this argument. Can’t I just think glasses are cute?
Drinking Velma's breastmilk.
>>153156650No, I don't think anyone ever stated that Fred and Daphne were popular but with their looks and personalities there's that implication.
Does anyone else despise Baalbuddy? I just can't stand seeing his reddit bullshit
>>153154477Daphne was the hot one but Velma was always the cute one
>>153156984he used to be funny. Hard to say when exactly it changed but I think it was around the time the coomer meme started (specifically the wojak with the big arm) the quality of his jokes started to decline, and now he's just mediocre at best
>>153156578>booty>defends the negro 'culture'Obvious negro yankfag is obvious
>>153154477Daphne is 70's hot. Velma is modern hot.
>>153155096The answer was pretty solidly Daphne until the 2010s where suddenly everyone got gaslit into thinking Velma was always the better one.
>>153157319I always liked Velma more than Daphne even as a kid when I'd watch the original 70s show. She was always cuter to me.
>Ghastly GoonersOk that was pretty good.
>>153157274WAS modern hot.The super friendly preppy girl trope has surged in popularity this past decade.
>>153155688It's called being friends and richgirl wants to have fun. The other rich kids are too stuck-up or would tattletell on them.
>>153157435Why is that?
>>153154477It's crazy how every generation Velma gets bigger tits and hips. She was never that big. Not even close. She was plain Daphne with glasses. Not even chubby.
>>153154477>Why do nerds like the nerd girl more than the normie girl?
>>153157597I guess because shit's gotten more bleak in recent years. Genuinely friendly girls are a big plus
>>153157597Probably because of anime/manga like My Dress-Up Darling, Dandadan, Yancha Girl, Komi Can't Communicate, Galko-chan, etc.And as for the rise of the popular kid, it seems to kind of come hand-in-hand with the rise of the internet where the geeks and nerds seem to be more free to act as bullies and jerks. So the kids who are more into socializing in person and not being mean are becoming more of a commodity.
>>153154978>>153156493I glad we're finally at the point where people can just say >Yeah, the Breakfast Club sucksIt just spends the entire run time jerking itself off in front of us all to create this illusion of these poor put upon kids being constrained by the social norms of their time. It's theater kid drama slop and its characters are as purple as they are annoying.Oh, also fuck Dead Poets Society. Love Robin Williams, but that movie has a down right toxic message.
>>153157782>PurplePuerile is a word autocorrect! I know what I fucking typed!!!
>>153154503Truth.Velma was the frumpy, unassuming plain Jane that every one thinks they can approach.Daphne just outright intimidates them by looking high maintenance
>>153157319>the 2010'sAs someone who has been jerking it to Velma lewds since like 2003 I know for an absolute fact that that isn't true.I really don't know why Daphnefags feel the need to rewrite history and psychoanalyze the competition instead of just accepting that different people have different tastes.
>>153157854This artist may be the greatest Scooby Doo fan artist in our lifetime.
>>153154477it's the sweaterpeople love sweaters
>>153157597Realizing conventionally attractive and super feminine girls aren't always bitches, and that being nice isnt boring.
was daphne ever popular
>>153154477>Why is Velma more popular than Daphne now?Off model fan artLosers thinking she is the obtainable one
There's always some gay homo who says that Velma has only had big tits in fanart or very recent shows.
>>153154503Or they just.. actually find Velma sexier. You twat.
>>153154503Holy reddit. Where do you obnoxious psychologizing types come from?
>Swain has arrivedYOU FOOLS! YOU'VE SUMMONED HIM FROM THE ETHER AND KILLED US ALL!
>>153159332>>153159448There are underlying reasons behind changing preferences.
>>153156578kys cumgarggling faggot
>>153160771Since at least 2008 this board have been jerking themselves to death to Velma over Daphne.
>>153154978>Breakfast ClubA lot of shit regarding the scooby gang can be summed up to this.There wasn't really much in the way of OG Velma being "ugly" or "plain". Hell, there wasn't even much about Daphne being "hot" or "preppy" beyond the fact she was a bit of a fashionista.It was all sorta just stuff that got projected onto them in a post "high school youth power friendship movie" landscape. Velma in particular got affected by being written by generations that grew up either having a crush on her or going "omg she's literally me". Which lead to her becoming more and more sassy until it became obnoxious and we ended up with the Velma show.
>>153156693Blasting my nutropes in Velma's cleavage.
>>153154978>movies like Breakfast Club and such did untold amounts of damage by creating a sense of mythos around highschool cliques and subculturesHonestly most of the movies John Hughes directed did this. Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller, even Weird Science to a lesser degree. Breakfast Club just had the most visible contrast between these cliques-turned-archetypes.
>>153154477>Velma more popular'Cuz she looks like a geeky person, so she's less "imposing" or "intimidating" to the kind of people that draws fanart.
>>153154477>redditbuddy I don't care if he's an oldfag, his shit is redundant and unfunnyNormal words but an orc guy
>>153161912I clapped when I understood the meme reference Haha my hips are moving on their own haha but that's forbidden love haha I love 2007 internet haha
>>153154477How does everyone feel about the cut member of Mystery Inc like how would they bring him back
>>1531620861 Fred is enough
>>153162086Fred has Daphne to pal around with. Why does he need a dude as well?
>>153157435>>153157921>swainartThis is either going to end in a murder or extreme PTSD
>>153159299She's clearly a b-cup wearing that sweater.
>>153162120In a more logical sense akin to them not fucking, I would think the cut member would hang with Velma like how Shaggy has Scoob and Fred has Daphne
>>153162086He doesn't bring anything to the table that one of the other characters doesn't already cover. It was good to cut him. He's as useless as Scrappy-Doo.
Most men prefer fat chicks.The hierarchy of attractive body parts isThighs > ass + stockings/other lingerie > cleavage > naked ass > naked tits
>>153162232A thick sweater will FLATTEN curves,
>>153155688She likes mysteries Shaggy and Scooby-Doo are the ones that realistically would bail.
>>153162161Neither. Story's already finished. Happy ending.
>>153162086why does Velma have a condom on a necklace?
>>153162086What was his gimmick going to be?
>>153163295This is not Iwao's art apparently
>>153163120Did Swain get married or have a kid or something, why has he been so positive lately? I need my Loud House edge
>>153162232think i comm'd someone to make a laff on that :
>>153157319i don't think anyone really cared about daphne before a certain point, it was just a given that she was the attractive one because original Velma was not drawn to be very attractive.anywho, i'd say it was around zombie island in when people started to take notice of Velma because they didn't just draw her to be a painfully plain as she looked in the show.anyway, i used to be on the Velma train as well, but i feel like they've done a lot for Daphne over the years, she used to just be the pretty one, but the depth they've given her makes her way more appealing to me now.
>>153154477>now
>>153154521No nigger. Some people just like nerdy girls.
>>153154477So you can keep posting this thread for another 10 years.
>>153156493>>153157782Eh, I liked the movie. Honestly I like most John Hudges films.
Velma’s popularity peaked in the 00s to the late 2010s, but Daphne was more popular before and nowadays. After decades of Daphne, Velma had a bit more novelty to her. But Velma has now normalized and Daphne is back in style.
>>153165407can concur; i saw some fortnite NSFW of the latter ithink
>>153154477Velma is and always has been "CUTER" than daphne. A large part of me is far more attractive to unconventionally attractive women. The issue with being born in America is that most American media points you towards girls like Daphne on the average which means you can get easily oversaturated. Like yes, no doubt, a woman like Scarlet Johanson is hot, but being hot is like the prerequisite for most woman to be presented on my screen in the first place.Like mind you I make my own online persona about being a "nerd fucker" but Velma's freckles, glasses, pudgier cheeks and frame, along with the Turtleneck, Skirt and kneesocks combo just make me think she's extremely cute and Cute > Hot to me
>>153159469Its not that hard to summon Swain. Not everyone knows the ritual, but just like with Mahmapuu, Plague, Terrible, and others, its possible to do so.
>>153154477At this point everyone knows that the standards of beauty are so low that even ugly girls can have a good run doing onlyfans.
>>153154477Because the classic reveal of the bookish or nerdy girl being an absolute bombshell or freak in the bed is great.If we were equating hotness to powerlevels, Daphne is always at full power but Velma got that hidden power that wins when she goes all out
