is goro akechi a future tumblr sexyman?
following off the brief description from the sexypedia released on tumblr circa 2020, with this criteria: 
 A tumblr sexyman, by the standards of this document, is a character considered questionable taste to onlookers of the disproportionately large group that considers them sexy. This is often as a result of canon/fanon divergence: onlookers are thinking of the character as they appear in the source material, and the group that finds them sexy are thinking of the sexyified fanon version. A good test is that if you can carry out the following interaction:
   Person A: People were disproportionately horny for [character].
     Person B: people were horny for [CHARACTER]?!?!
 im led to believe, personally, the answer to this is goro akechi is NOT a tumblr sexyman, however the facts i can pull out are reasons
 why he is
- fits a fair bit of the criterion of other tsm 
- problematic (murder, mental shutdowns) 
- part of the fandoms got this weird cult following 
- everyone sees him as gay 
- people who kin him is like playing russian roulette 
- duality kink that sexymen seem to share 
why he isnt
- conventionally attractive
- in universe does have clout that isnt a cult/weird
- hes got trauma but like he isnt inhuman although his coping mechanisms are questionable
- feasible redemption(?) arc where he acts normalish round others
- no ultra weird features, red eyes are a thing but its not impossible to have them naturally
- you cant really twist him as a blank slate out on an au... his design may be anime boy simple but not as flexible as others like sans
- human, while most tumblr sexymen are human he can only really be called a pimp with his persona if not for that hes just balls to the wall trauma. in relation to chracters like komaeda tbf the setting danganronpas in isnt just tokyo japan
- no glowing eyes, when he went beserk i dont think that counts
- his personality isnt 100% bastard and while the majority is little bitch its not tumblr sexyman bitch flavour 
feel free to discuss/add on to any of the reasons listed here im just brain farting
