She is even voiced by a queer actor, Natalie Moral. “Anyone who watched the origal show may have had an klg Betty was a member of the alphabet mafia,” Moral said a statement to The A.V. Club. In the beloved Nickeloon seri’ origal rnatn (which ran om 1991 to 2004), Betty was animated wearg a sweatband and funky jewelry paired wh a baggy purple sweatshirt wh the female sign embossed over . In the 2021 update, she has changed the symbol on the sweatshirt to reflect her zodiac sign, which is Gemi. Moral explaed that the queer reprentatn of her character go eper than the astrology shoutout. “Betty is a sgle mom wh her own bs who has tws and still has time to hang out wh her iends and her muny,” she said. “And I thk ’s jt so great bee exampl of livg your life happily and healthily as an out queer person is jt such a bean for young queer people who may not have exampl of that.” Media reprentatn is a powerful tool for helpg people to learn more about their own inti, somethg that Moral noted n beg as early as childhood on shows as silly and fun as “Rugrats.” “And yeah, Betty is a fictnal rtoon, but even rtoons were hugely fluential for me as a kid and if I’d been watchg ‘Rugrats’ and seen Betty sually talkg about her ex-girliend, I thk at least a part of me would have felt like thgs might be okay the future.” The fictnal character’s g out was not the revelatn the reboot’s creators thought would be.
