Sexypedia, otherwise known as the Sexypedia Wiki, is a collaborative database hosted by Fandom.comnote formerly known as Wikia that documents the phenomena known as “Fandom Sexymenâ€�note (previously, they were known as “Tumblr Sexymenâ€�, but usage of the term would eventually spread beyond the confines of Tumblr, particularly on Twitter and TikTok, necessitating a change) , their associated tropes, and their presence in fandom circles.The general definition of a “Fandom Sexymanâ€� is a character who has gained a noticeable following online for being seen as romantically/physically attractive by fans of the source material, often in spite of how unconventional the reasons for their attraction are or how bizarre it may be to find a character from a particular work hot.The most commonly cited originator of this phenomenon is The Once-ler from The Lorax (2012), whom an inexplicably large amount of Tumblr users found particularly attractive, leading to an absolutely massive fan following that spread across the site and arguably became a fandom of its own independent of the actual movie. There has been only one other character that has reached this level of infamy, hence why The Once-ler is listed on the wiki as one of only two Apollyon-level Sexymen, with the other being Sans from Undertale.As time moved on and more characters attained the rank of Sexyman, it became clear that there were quite a few shared tropes between them that contributed to their popularity. Sexypedia summarizes each character’s Sexyman status by listing each one that applies to them and giving further context from either the source material or fan response to said character.

Non-Indicative Name: “Sexyman“ is used as a catch-all term for all of characters documented on the wiki regardless of actual gender, though the terms “Sexywoman� and “Sexyperson� do exist for female and non-binary/gender-neutral/fluid characters, respectively.

White Hair, Black Heart: Characters under the “White Hair� category tend to overlap with villains, which adds to their appeal. Particularly popular examples include Nagito Komaeda, Astarion, and Griffith.

Artists Are Attractive: The existence of the “Artsyâ€� category, along with the popularity of Wally Darling (a painter) and Murdoc Niccals (a bassist)note  His temporary replacement, Ace D. Copular, is also on the wiki under this category , among others, seem to indicate that many agree with this sentiment.

Sharp-Dressed Man
 Sexypedia Wiki (Website) / int_87ab7f69
comment
Sharp-Dressed Man: Seeing as the original Tumblr Sexyman, The Once-ler, was a “Suitguy�, it should come as no surprise that many that have come after him have followed suit. If a character deemed a Sexyman doesn’t wear a suit in canon, then fanart will likely depict them wearing one, such as the cases of Bill Cipher and Tony the Talking Clock. And women certainly aren’t immune from this kind of appeal either, as Makima can attest to.

Monster Clown

comment
Monster Clown: Hypothetically, the "Clown" category could encompass both this trope and Non-Ironic Clown, but given the fact that most of the Sexymen listed are villains, there's more of a skew towards the former, with notable examples including Spinel, The Daycare Attendant, and Buggy the Clown.

comment
Alternate Self Shipping: A common side effect of what the wiki calls “Oncelerization�, which is when countless Alternate Universe Fics are made for a work that are centered around a character with Sexyman status. Notably, this is something that the term’s namesake, The Once-ler, has in common with the only other Apollyon Sexyman, Sans.

High-Powered Career Woman: Referred to as “Girlbosses� on the wiki proper, this is a popular archetype for Sexywomen, as they are often domineering and look good in suits.

Rule 34 – Creator Reactions
 Sexypedia Wiki (Website) / int_d5b8be27
comment
Rule 34 – Creator Reactions: The creators of some of the characters listed have embraced their creations' Sexyman statuses and have even given their blessing for their inclusion on the wiki. Conversely, one of the potential reasons for a character page to get the "Do Not Sexualize" banner (aside from looking way too close to actual non-anthropomorphized animals for comfort or their creators being underage) is the creator expressing discomfort in their characters being seen in such a way.

Self-Fanservice: Many nonhuman Sexymen have had their status cemented by fan-artists drawing them as conventionally attractive humans (or at least humanoids) and having said depictions explode in popularity, with particularly prominent examples including Bill Cipher, Wheatley, and several of the cookies from Cookie Run.

comment
Mystical White Hair: It is noted that characters in the "White Hair" category may have said feature to convey mysticism, if not outright villainy. Some examples (villainous or otherwise) include Sephirothnote  (who many cite as the reason why this trope is so popular in the first place), Satoru Gojo, and Aaravos.
