#i also think thats why every attempt at just straight up making tumblr sextmen in shows now just doesnt work

so tired of ppl that werent actually on tumblr back in the day trying to say what tumblr sexymen are 🙄🙄🙄

tumblr sexymen started as ppl complaining that a majority of tumblr userbase Only cared about Skinny Tall White Guy to the point that if a show they liked didnt have one. they would just. make one.

the act of turning a character into a skinny tall white guy was what made a character a TUMBLR sexyman :/ characters like the onceler got added to the sexyman roster as the term grew in popularity and its definition became All Skinny Tall White Guys, not just the ones that tumblr users created

#other #t talks #sans and papyrus undertale are like the only actual tumblr sexyman bait #cause theyre characters with a non-human design that could easily be turned into a generic skinny tall white guy #that could become more popular that the canon design. but that didnt happen #n thats a little weird but i think its just cause the userbase was getting older n their idea of attractiveness was starting to grow as wel #i also think thats why every attempt at just straight up making tumblr sextmen in shows now just doesnt work #cause all the 12/18 year olds that liked sexymen in 2012 are in their 20s now #n theyre also all gay n trans n are exclusively attracted to butches n bears :/ #like. these ppl are making characters for a demographic an entire decade after that demographic stopped existing :/ #or at least 90% of it stopped existing. i know some of yall like vivypops ugly ass character designs for some reason :/ :/ :/ #she makes me wanna barf. #sorry now im just being a hater #i gotta go to sideblog for that skjfhskdhskd
