Folks are out there trying to taxonomise “Tumblr sexyman” and “Tumblr sexywoman” as fundamentally distinct categories as though being a socially awkward loser isn’t the principal qualification regardless of gender.

“Oh, but Queen Deltrarune is” Queen Deltarune is so easily wrong-footed by anyone who doesn’t respond in the expected fashion to her deliberately obnoxious lolrandom 90s meme culture shtick that she ends up hiding in a back alley to get away from a high schooler.

“But GLaDOS–” GLaDOS is on so many levels of emotional repression masquerading as ironic detachment that she manages to have a parasocial relationship with someone who’s standing right in front of her.

“Lady Dimitrescu” where do you fucking start.

1. What is a “Tumblr sexyman”? (Hint: turn to page 382 to get a refresher.)
2. Do you agree with the assessment that all of these characters are all “socially awkward losers”? Why or why not? Please provide reasoning not already found in the text.
3. Does a distinction between a “Tumblr sexyman” and a “Tumblr sexywoman” exist? If a distinction does exist are the distinctions gender based? If a distinction does not exist then provide and explain 3 other female characters that fall into the “Tumblr sexyman” category.
