NepetaQuest 2026

You guys are right that the guy eating food IS the dad from Crayon Shin-Chan. There is an official spin-off that is a gourmet manga starring Shin-Chan’s dad.

The silent man in the third panel is a reference to a certain artist on Pixiv who became a meme because he kept posting gay fanart of himself together with Shin-Chan’s dad, titled “Hiroshi Nohara and me”. Sadly it seems like his account is deleted now.

nobody ever got much of anything done on the actual sexyman wiki side, they mostly just sat around purity-policing eachother, tepidly suggesting new wiki additions in palpable fear of being nuked for possibly accidentally suggesting something the owner deemed Immoral, having weirdass sin confession sessions where they all ritualistically outed themselves for their past problematic(tm) fandom-ing, saying cringe is dead, and then talking about how vile everyone outside on the rest of the internet/all external fan-spaces is. they seemed far more interested in trying to find the next cancellable Freak of the hour and making ironic-but-not-really jokes about the hotness of the onceler than in actually running the damn wiki or getting anything updated. the only time anything on the wiki ever really seemed to get done was when someone went rogue and just started fleshing out things themselves (there was supposed to be some system i don't recall the specifics of where you had to pitch an idea and get an arbitrary number of votes from official important team members or whatever, but in practice none of them bothered ever actually weighing in on anything and so that just never got done, and even when something was nebulously approved by the general consensus for addition almost nobody ever actually got around to doing it. the suggestions system, whatever it was, was so dysfunctional that after they moved it off the discord and onto the actual proper wiki's discussion(?) page it eventually just devolved into people suggesting any random obscure character they personally found attractive anyway), which would invariably be neutered by the moderators in the next edit because we can't have literally any references to people's attraction or fanfiction referencing such in a sexyman wiki, because "the children might see it". i also just- and i don't have any specific memories to back this up-but i just have this vague recollection of having somehow gotten like a... vaguely, almost terfy vibe to the place. i don't remember why. again, i don't have any specific memory i can point to for that. i think there was a huge schism at some point during the couple of days i was there where a huge number of the server and team members were kicked out for Fandom Drama Reasons I Don't Remember and it had major toxic friend group breakup over callout post type energy, which is appropriate because i'm pretty sure all the main staff were the creator's friends.

the original creator of the wiki also had a hyperfixation sideblog (long since deleted now) where they would constantly talk about the onceler, tumblr sexymen, the wiki, and answer asks, namely to rant about how they think everyone who ships wrong or writes the wrong kind of fanfic should actually literally graphically die. i remember one specific ask in particular, where the asker said something like "so you're saying if you see a kid playing with dolls in a way you don't like they should be killed??" and their response was basically almost exactly "literally yes". and in context it was very clear they were not being sarcastic about it. they also had a drawing of evil alternate universe sharp-toothed emo badboy pleakley lilostitch, which is the only other specific thing i remember off the top of my head.

they also had (and from a quick look evidently still have) an issue where they could never manage to establish in practice a consistent definition for a lot of tropes ("duality" is the big one-what the fuck even is it's description on the tropes page? almost none of the character pages use it that way exclusively, in practice everyone just kind of slapped it on whenever a character had a split color scheme or thematic connection to someone with an opposite-seeming personality or something. and the name of the trope itself is too vague to not be a bad name if precisely that and nothing else is what they were going for. they should have just called it "opposite alter ego" or something.) and so every single page ended up defining and using them in completely different ways. which nobody ever did anything about, for the same reason that no one could ever be bothered to update any pages even when Fully Officially Approved to do so in general. and of course, it was all but basically unspoken mandate that writing a page in an actually neutral documenting tone would get you creepjacketed and sent to the pyre for not Implying Hatred For The Problematic Elements enough, so you had to walk a thin line of sounding the exact right kind of silly, Opinionated, and high school mean girls whisper-spreadingly judgemental. basically you had to write everything in art community drama youtube video essay voice or you'd get accused of sexual deviancy.

the whole thing ultimately from conception was little more than a vehicle for the creator and their friends to bitch about Gross Creepy Freaks Writing Sex Lmao They Should All Die together with a thin veneer of legitimacy obtained by building a frail vestigial skeleton shell of a wiki around it that no one bothered keeping up to date on any consistent basis, and like i said, unless people took matters into their own hands nothing real ever seemingly got done. looking at some of the pages i worked on back in the day, it looks like they still haven't bothered to update their trope lists even though the actual index of tropes they have (many of which are relevant) has grown substantially. not overly surprising. i'm more surprised to learn the wiki still even exists in general. the creator started deleting and privating things after their onceler hyperfixation went to a farm upstate (which was around the time their onceler-sexymanphenomenon-ranting about killing people sideblog vanished), so i kind of assumed they probably would have done something similar to the wiki by now.

most of the kowalski, sheogorath, dimentio, and herobrine pages, as well as a significant chunk of the tropes on the trope page were me, if you're curious.

“I'm adjusting the rules for coloring these symbols, as the best compromise I can think of to reduce any association with unfortunate imagery. I don't have a ton of familiarity with the full range of nazi symbols, but some people have pointed out the similarities with the black designs specifically, and I can definitely see why such a comparison would be made. This was absolutely not my intention.

So now I'm saying the rule is the class symbol is always the same as the LIGHTEST color in the aspect symbol. That means for certain aspects (void, doom) you use the background color, for all others you use the icon color. That way the darker colors don't trick the mind into the same reaction as black does. I'm also dropping the rule that active/passive symbols are two different colors. They can both be the light aspect color. The positive/negative space inversion can work well enough to show the active/passive difference.

Part of the reason these were so simple and abstract was to allow for the fandom to do what the fandom does best and create their own takes on it without being too restrictive. I’ve already seen some great iterations on the designs, especially ones that incorporate the lunar sway, or even combine multiple classes together creatively, and I’m happy to see people having fun with it. These don’t actually have to be used, but I thought it would be a fun addition to share with people while I was already expanding on some classpecting ideas in my free time.

I feel like this change mostly addresses the bad association with the symbols, and I probably don't want to patch further by altering the forms, because at a certain point it's probably better not to get carried away with the idea that nazis have ruined all radial patterns forever.

Here are all the main character classpects again, with updated colors.”

Also, a followup message. Would appreciate it if everyone in the community could take the time to read this.”

“Finally made some canonical class symbols for anyone who considers these useful. In the comic, I only came up with aspect designs, because those were the symbols that appeared on the shirts. Classes were represented by the outfit designs, so they never seemed to need symbols. Still, as people speculated on classpecting and developed the ideas in their fanworks, class symbols started to seem like a missing piece of the lore.

The first image here is a better presentation of the crude-looking class pairing list I posted in an earlier Q&A. Again note that classes appear in the list linked as active/passive pairs, with an odd exception to the pattern, putting both witch/sylph fully on the active side, and maid/heir fully on the passive side.

The next image is a series of simple icons I came up with for each class pair, in this order:

- witch/sylph: witch hat

- prince/bard: scepter

- thief/rogue: dagger

- knight/page: sword

- mage/seer: eye staff

- maid/heir: abstract wavy shape, denoting malleability (it's basically John's hood)

- lord/muse: skull on pike”

“But these icons aren't meant to fully convey the classes alone. Instead they're treated more like "spokes" in radial designs which form a circle, so as to enclose an aspect symbol in the middle. That way the class and aspect can become a fully self-contained symbol.

Here's what they look like in radial form. The active ones are black, the passive ones are white. Also, the more active of the pair uses positive space to display the icons pointing outward. The more passive of the pair uses negative space, showing the icons pointing inward, cutting the shapes into the solid circle.

Note that because the list has the two odd pairs, witch/sylph and maid/heir, it was necessary to have both an outward/inward-pointing logic, and a black/white logic. Both witch/sylph are black, and both maid/heir are white, yet both also have inward/outward-pointing icon pairs.”

The dude who turned his comic into literal Hitler-Did-Nothing-Wrong esoteric nazi propaganda is out of money.

oh noooooooo
