Was Ingo a true tumblr sexyman???? (Poll)

Ok so i have seen many debates over what makes a tumblr sexyman and i want to know what the consensus is on Ingo's sexyman status. Here are some points of discussion to think about:

is he weird-looking enough?

clothing/silhouette

tumblr sexyman vs blorbo vs babygirl culture. which one fits best?

personality. are tumblr sexymen required to be fucked up freaks?

was the fandom insane/horny enough to qualify him as a sexyman? How inexplicable was his fandom popularity/portrayal?

popularity in terms of scope and legacy. And do other sites cultures count? ex. jpn fandom on twit

twink death????

And to anyone who may come across this and don't know anything about Ingo, feel free to vote based on visuals alone lol

[spontaneousglitterbees]

as someone who likes both things a lot of you guys assume this'd be adversarial and like. nah.

GETTT FUCKING DUNKED ON

(Its not even over yet but the fact it was cecil is who broke reigen’s sweep on tumblr is so funny to me, the blueprint sexyman shows the new guy how its done )

[simplyender]

i swear i dont actually care about the poll as much as im making myself out to i just enjoy being overdramatic

[storytellerofuntoldlegends]

twitch chats are so exhausting 

[ra-archives]

Today I logged in to Tumblr only to be greeted with the fact that the MCYT sexy man vote is a thing now. This is ridiculous, where do I vote?

[pompadorbz]

I'm sorry but I actually find it so funny when people claim WITH THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE that the dr characters are minors aside from like. the warriors of hope. Like I'm sorry that you played the game with your eyes closed and the volume off. It's impressive that you managed that but it's far from the ideal Like when it comes to how they go about the character ages, especially in the first game, I'm not gonna deny that it's like. sketchy, obviously. fucking duh. Like I stick that firmly into grey area territory (or like. if you were sexualizing them before the big reveal then that's just a tad bit 🤨. I'm watchin you.) BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SDR2 ITS EVEN FUNNIER because this information is far from held off till the end. The entire point is that it subverts expectations and reveals it right at like??? the tail end of the prologue. And then that is held above your head for the ENTIRE GAME. So if you claimed that ANYBODY from sdr2 was a kid, it'd be like wearing a giant neon sign on your back that says "I haven't played the game."

Guys of course cc's are going to find things on tumblr. Like Cleo said we are about as subtle as a brick. Plus many of the cc's have tumblrs too They don't live in a vacuum, a lot of them grew up on the net. They know their way around it and some choose to not interact. Not sure why people are freaking out or scattering LMAO Just have fun, but stop assuming cc's are stupid or live in a vacuum. They are human too

[theminecraftbee]

being in true sexyman nostalgia mode today (on account of. IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR BABY.) i think one of the most fascinating things about it is that we will never manage to do that again. like, not in a "we couldn't organize it better" way; there were better ways to do the spreadsheet, we would just turn off comments on posts and anon asks from day one so that we wouldn't then get people accusing us of censorship while we tried and failed to control the tide of things that ended up in the comments and inbox, we'd definitely have a WAY higher non-hermit contingent, both thanks to qsmp and thanks to the sexyman blog and medusa now having MUCH wider reach to other corners of the fandom and the original spread not all rooting at me, etc.

but the reason we couldn't do it again is that i don't know if we could ever replicate the exact circumstances that lead to it blowing up quite to the extent it blew up.

it was while tumblr polls and doing tumblr poll brackets on tumblr itself was still new-ish, and people were still excited about them. the idea of a mcytblr bracket was basically brand new; i won't claim we did it FIRST (because i have no idea if we did and doubt we did), but certainly we did it big first. so there's that; we can never again invent in real time "shit people are sending us threats about fraud lets legalize fraud because its funny, we can't stop it, and that neutralizes that drama as a thing anyone will take seriously", and then in turn accidentally invent a fandom culture of. um. wide-spread voter fraud.

(i don't know if we should apologize for, uh, causing the specific way mcytblr voter frauds. i still think it was better than the alternative at least, especially after seeing how so many other polls crashed and burned after us. there were MANY things we could have done better but i have seen SO MANY ways we could have done things worse since then so i think we came out looking pretty okay.)

but also: february 2023 was a very different time in mcytblr. we were in a hermitcraft dead period, where most of the hermits were either on vacation or playing tcg (which was fun, but didn't end up generating that much fandom activity by that time in february). the former dsmp crew was very much doing Nothing (and in that awkward space when the entire fandom knew dsmp 2 was never happening, but also people were still claiming it would happen, so it was just... busy waiting). qsmp didn't exist yet. there was no ongoing life series and wouldn't be for some time. i think even the dominioners and lifestealers were in a fairly dead zone. there was very little new for people to be excited about, mcyt content-wise.

enter: our poll. our poll which cleo then thinks its funny to call out on twitter. our poll, which was not only new mcyt content for the fandom to interact with (thanks to the fact we KEPT GETTING CC INTERACTIONS???), but participatory.

for about two weeks, we were the mcyt event de jour.

and like. the thing is. now we're in february 2024. mcyt is BOOMING. a new hermitcraft season JUST STARTED. we came off of vault hunters before that. meanwhile, qsmp just restarted and is, if i'm understanding correctly, booming. they just added a new guy! the two current juggernauts of the fandom are in FULL SWING. i honestly think we'd be somewhat overtaken by the fact things are actually happening in fandom. there's stuff to do that ISN'T go insane about a poll.

and it's not new, and we've seen it all before now, and frankly, it's hard to cause a mass hysteria event TWICE. lightning in a bottle, as they say.

i think part of the reason we all just REMEMBER mcytblr sexyman so much is that we could never, ever recreate it, so it remains crystalized in a single moment in time, impossible to replicate, forever memorable.

anyway: HAPPY ONE YEAR TO THE JOE HILLS SWEEP BABY,

This is very sad but also understandable

Round 2 Match 3: Patches Ito VS. Wambus Troubleham

Patches, a tall, polite, well-mannered, charming, canonically pansexual dalmatian furry. Except a lot of that is a front to hide the viscous, spiteful, vengeful, smug murderer underneath that is willing to manipulate and (sometimes literally) backstab basically anyone, and describe his murder plans in gruesome detail. Eventually is revealed to have a backstory of heartbreak and even gets a heel turn and redemption arc by the end. That or you can have him kill everyone. Either one.

Wambus Troubleham, a simple, hardworking farmer with a strong sense of responsibility, who’s stubborn and short tempered. Usually pretty tough and likely to stick to his guns. Has a smooth, deep, cowboy-esc voice. However, he’s also oddly pathetic at times. His main plot involves constantly attempting and failing to figure out how to grow more of the creatures known as bugsnax, quickly gets desperate and frustrated as time goes on. He also has marital problems, his wife leaving after a rough patch between them. He ends up missing her so much he makes a cactus facsimile of her.

Deltarune

This is Toby Fox’s website and we’re just living on it. For more than seven years, his games have cast a spell on Tumblr, stealing the hearts of fans with their winning combination of storytelling, innovative gameplay, and characters filled with heart and determination. Our first look at Toby’s world of monsters and humans came in 2015 when Undertale was released. We learned the meaning of mercy and that while talking through conflict might not be the easiest path, it’s always the right one. When the first chapter of Deltarune came out in 2018, absolute chaos ensued. We met Kris, Susie, and Ralsei and set off on a brand new adventure where you fell in love with the Undertale universe all over again.

The second chapter came as a complete surprise and was one of the best gifts Tumblr received in the past year. You immediately latched onto the continuation of some of the best lore in gaming and memed the living heck out of it. You also spammed our dashes with a tiny little man in pink and yellow sunglasses—so much so that he ended up becoming the #1 video game character on all of Tumblr this year. Spamton had a chance to become a [[big shot!]] and, boy, did he take it. 

And he wasn’t the only new character Deltarune threw into the mix. As a game with a combat system based almost entirely (if you’re playing correctly) on social interactions, its characters are key. They're relatable and make you want to root for them. Even, and often especially, for the bad guys. We can almost hear you yelling, “I can fix him!” into the void, and we believe you! Remember that one time you talked about the Deltarune villain, Queen, so much you skewed the tag data for one of the biggest bands of all time and the actual Queen of England? We sure do. And when Noelle Holiday joined the party, your team was finally complete.

This year marked the first anniversary of Deltarune’s second chapter, and you celebrated with every post type Tumblr has to offer. You survived the Tumblr Sexyman poll and the Spamton Sweepstakes, and for that, you all deserve the shiniest gold ribbon.

All of this to say that Toby Fox wins Tumblr. Undertale, for Tumblr, was a total cultural reset, and its impact is still felt even seven years later. It first appeared on our weekly video games list way back on September 21, 2015, just days after the game’s release—and it has been on every single list but one since then. So we’ve always known that Deltarune would find a loving home on Tumblr, and it truly has been so loved.

ROUND 2, MATCH 25

NO MAGIC, POWERS, WEAPONS, OR ADDITIONAL HELP FROM OTHERS

Perry the Platypus/Agent P:

“I can't submit Dr. Doofenshmirtz without also submitting his nemesis! Perry is just a platypus but he regularly beats up a full-grown man with nothing more than his little platypus fists. He's also a master of disguise as even when Dr. Doof sees him without his signature fedora, he has no idea its really Perry.”

“He always has the element of surprise”

“He's a semi aquatic Egg laying mammal of action (Doo-bee-doo-bee-do-bah) (Doo-bee-doo-bee-do-bah) He's a furry little flatfoot Who never flinched From a fra-ee-ay-ee-ay (Fray) He's got more than just mad skill He's got a beaver tail and bill And the women swoon Whenever they hear him say (Perry's sound) He's Perry, Perry the platypus (You can call him Agent P) Perry (I said you can call him Agent P) Agent P Agent P Agent P”

Reigen Arataka:

“he has so many silly anime special moves like . throwing salt”

“Well, he doesn't break the super strength rule, so he'll at least be allowed into the fist fight! That's something! As for why he'll win, he um. Well I'm not sure honestly, but I'm sure he'll do it somehow. Maybe he'll find a way to sneak some table salt into the match so that he can perform his special technique, the Banishing Salt Punch. Though, if he doesn't cheat, he'll be left with a plain ol punch. The special technique didn't so much damage, but that was on a ghost, and I'm not sure if there will be any ghosts here, and his punch has proved somewhat effective in the series. Maybe he'll somehow get the participants of this poll in a con or something. Maybe the charm that got him the title of the #2 Tumblr Sexyman and made him sweep so many polls will be enough for him to win. Maybe his patheticness will loop around and make him win somehow. He has options”

“Reigen is an "exorcist" who pretends to have psychic powers, but mostly gets his psychic employee(s) to do the exorcisms for him. His primary techniques include throwing salt at his problems, running away, and punching. My favorite technique of his is Self Defense Rush which is where he punches a terrifying psychic but yells "SELF DEFENSE!" in hopes of preventing legal trouble.”

“Remember that one time he dropkicked a psychic? that was fun”

“He’s such a loser he’d lose at anything”
