honestly im not denying that tumblr is racist but i feel like twitter has never really understood what a tumblr sexyman is. shape-wise this guy is exactly like adult goob from meet the robinsons and he’s also over 30 — it’s a tumblr repellent. if the onceler was middle aged, had that face and a mustache no tumblrina would have done what they did with him. the only times tumblr sexifies ‘unusual’ characters is when they can imagine them being conventionally attractive twinks in their heads (see meltdown when the triangle from gravity falls and the invisible guy from hotel transylvania turned out not to be cute anime boys), not because they’re attracted to genuine weirdness / unconventionality. i am reading you if anyone wants to weight in this very important matter btw

#all this just to say that this guy portrayed as older and slimy really wasn’t what your average tumblr user back in the sexyman times #(a 13yo girl) was attracted to #it’s like being mad that most of tumblr isn’t super into dr eggman. there are some (and i am) but he’s just not a nondescript twink so #no sexyman for you #you will notice that even the tumblr sexyman that gets to retain most of his traits (sans undertale) gets whiteboyified-#made tall and slim given a nose etc lol #my posts #feeling superior to tumblr because i would be down to fuck a lengthy list of unpleasant old men?#one of them looking suspiciously close to adult goob #and i mean actual old men not the tumblr thing about thinking 31 is middle aged or whatever
