     Wheatley would not reach the same fame as the sexymen that would come later, but he was still given the original sexyman treatment. He was given a universally accepted humanized form so that Tumblr users could feel okay about wanting to fuck a robot—a skinny white man with blonde hair and glasses. My thoughts on Wheatley himself? None, he seems cool, I guess. My thoughts on him being a sexyman? I hate it.

     Whatever’s in store, fans can rest easy knowing their lil skeleton guy [Sans of Undertale] is now the undisputed sexyman of Tumblr.

   • 2022 September 15, Joshua Wolens, “Toby Fox wrote a fanfic to explain why Undertale's Sans is the 'ultimate Tumblr sexyman'”, in PC Gamer:

     It's… pretty involved, but it eventually turns out that the key to being a sexyman is not to be sexy at all—which is great news for me—and Reigen was brought low by his conventional attractiveness.
