All kidding aside I feel certain the primary reason the atrocious HBO show got produced was to lean in on the popularity of fanart and cosplay models depicting the character in a sexualized manner. It’s a trope that has simply worm out its welcome.

I thought sexy fanart got things removed, not greenlit.
Like Erin Esurance.

So how do you stop a character people find attractive even with a pretty nonsexualised design from being sexy?

Honestly wouldn't be that shocked if they go with "let's lean in on gals, also possibly dudes, liking Shaggy" in a series. It's not really unprecedented, though I doubt they're going to have the guts to have Shaggy say something like, "Like, what's an 'otter'?"

I liked Tay Melo's take on the character is my response to that.
