Reddit loves Anna Kendrick and Carrie Fisher and I just didn't get it until I saw someone say they like them because they look like women they "could actually get with".
What point? That nerds lost confidence for “unattainable” women? IRL Daphnes tend to be narcissistic bitches, and vanity is their main personality trait. Velma is funny, smart and hold deeper conversation for extended periods of time, those have more long-term value than anything. She’s independent, but knows her limits. She’s really cute on top of it all.
She’s more popular cuz fans keep drawing her thicc + the newer shows have made her progressively less homely + nerdy/alt girls have been fetishized since like 2010
Its pretty well supported in research that in societies where food is scarce, being overweight is a symbol of status. In general we find symbols of status sexually attractive.
Back when food was scares in the western societies you also saw the same thing in our beauty ideals.
Its kinda fucked up but the research practially says that if you find fat women attractive then you are more likely than not to have grown up poor. Im not sure if the opposite is true as well, but it would explain why top-end beauty ideals are borderline anorexic.
The key difference imo is that a curvy woman's waist concaves, a chubby woman's waist convexes. Also if she ain't got a big tummy then that girl ain't chubby.
nah, as society (especially in the modern digital age) has been changing, the perception of “realness” (regardless if it’s authentic or not) has become much more valued as a whole— so, male and female sex symbols are no longer the .5% bodyfat, flawless hair / bone structure’d, walking chiseled / voluptuous impossibilities that they used to— and imo, daphne being “the hot one” was more of that era— velma is “nerdy” and “unconventional,” which = “more real”
The nerds are finally using their brains and eschewing conventional standards of attractiveness, opening their eyes to the reality that the conventional definition is so off the mark.
The nerdy girl in every 80s teen movie did not need a makeover, and swapping her glasses for contacts is heresy. Goths are hotter than trads. An older woman who knows what she's doing and pays for herself is better than a younger virgin that sees you as a walking wallet.
Nah bud, take it from me. When you've had sex, you realize that the twigs on TV aren't actually attractive, for the same reason a 300 gigabyte Call of Duty download doesn't actually look better than a stylized 60-gigabyte game from Japan.
And that's just discussing how a plastic appearance doesn't hold up when you look closer. When you get your hands on them, you'll also discover that the big-tiddied fat chick and the single-player gooner game are more fun to play with too.
Velma is only more popular because she's so generic and non-descript that the nerds can always imagine that she's into whatever they are into. Is Velma skinny? Fat as shit? Just kinda chubby? How big are her boobs? Gigantic, or just normal? Who knows, she spends 90% of the time on screen wearing a big, frumpy sweater. But thats the thing, anything could be under the sweater, which causes the imagination to run wild. Is Velma confident, in control, aggressive sexually? Or is she shy, reserved, clumsy? People just make up what they want her to be in their head and then bam, thats what she is. She's very much a blank canvas. Just look at how she's drawn here and the speech bubbles she has. Is any of that like her character in the show at all?
It’s not a coincidence that similarly attractive people end up together (barring exceptions for wealth). People tend to implicitly understand their dating value.
I always thought it was cause Velma was more bookish and us nerds relate more to that while Daphne is more a girls girl with her style n so forth can’t really click so to speak also the purple is tacky
Velma is so flattered to get the attention she lets you hit raw. Daphne is so jaded from her gay boyfriend she doesn't even want to cheat on him any more

That's a good point actually damn.

I came to this same conclusion twenty years ago when nerds on the internet swore that the girl from mythbusters was the hottest woman on the planet

Anna Kendrick imo does not look like someone that any random dude could get with.
johnny_tifosi@reddit

Onyxxx_13@reddit
I mean, some of us like women that look like people and not some plastic puddle of makeup.
And tits.

It can also be a backhanded compliment you can throw at guys when you're jockeying for superiority. Something like this...

Daphne is annoying af.
Velma has somewhat of a brain, has bigger tits and would probably play videogames with me.

Somewhat ? Isn’t being smart a large part of her character ?

or maybe tryhard vanity obsessing has become something that is completely the opposite of attraction for a lot of us.

In the show she might not be but r34 artists have made chubby Velma canon in the minds of gooners. She's almost always portrayed that way

these are some really wise words man, thanks for bestowing it upon me
flyingpilgrim@reddit
The later cartoons kept hamming up Daphne’s haughtiness, and someone being high maintenance is generally an unattractive quality.

Not wrong, it’s why mommies and girlfailures and “I can fix her” or, better yet, “she can ruin me” types are so popular

The designs in this cartoon make Velma look much better than Daphne. That's not how it originally was in Scooby Doo.

Velma has ALWAYS been the fetish. Maybe not that crappy reboot but yeah.

Daphne is with Fred consistently and no one wants to cuck Fred because he's so nice.
Velma is single more often than not, only occasionally being with Shaggy.

Linda Cardellini made Velma a stunner.
Mindy Kaling aggressively unraveled that achievement.

Pretty much this, Daphne is your generic hot instagram girl. Something the vast majority of cartoon watchers are not going to be able to relate to.
