Guidelines

Rules

 * 1) Please only edit in good faith. That means only making changes that you believe will improve the wiki or a page's information about a character.
 * 2) Try to make a discussion post about characters that you think should be added and get the character approved by an administrator before making a page. It's not the end of the world if you make a page without previously getting that character approved, and the admins will discuss whether the character is a sexywoman regardless, but if you make a discussion post prior to page creation, that means that if your character doesn't get approved you won't have a page you've written deleted.
 * 3) Please refer to the Forbidden Characters page before making a request for character approval or creating a page.
 * 4) The initial penalty for vandalism is having edits and account creation prohibited for 1 week. If disruptive behavior continues, you may have your account and IP address permanently blocked from editing.

What is a Tumblr Sexywoman?
To quote the Sexywomanpedia, "a sexywoman, in the context of this document, is a character who shows the 'lanky suitman villain' tropes, is popular with wlw, and/or is highly divisive. Basically, think Vriska." This sounds simple on paper, but in reality they're a bit harder to define because they're a less common archetype. Even the tried and true "people are attracted to [x]" "PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO X!?" test doesn't work because, unlike their male counterparts, tumblr sexywomen can be conventionally attractive and still qualify as a sexywoman. As a result, trying to determine if a character is a sexywoman is more just. Checking the vibe than anything. Even the size of the fan reaction is a smaller gap to clear because, to quote the Sexywomanpedia again, "plenty of characters on this list don’t actually have much of a following — this is a less common archetype, I had to do some barrel scraping."

So! With that in mind, here are some helpful tips on how to determine if the character you have in mind is a tumblr sexywoman.

Fantastic Sexywomen and Where to Find Them
Are They Fictional? Which is to say, real people or real people-adjacent characters cannot be sexywomen, no matter how hard you want it. This is less a qualifier and more a rule, but I put it here since it's more relevant to the page-making process. If they're not a real person or uncomfortably blur the lines, then you just have to check with the next two.

Do they fit the tropes? Take a look around this wiki if you need some examples. Be brutally honest with yourself on this one - if they only fit one or two tropes, or the tropes they do fit require a ridiculous amount of stretching, they're probably not a sexywoman, just a normal character. This is why someone like Hatsune Miku doesn't qualify; she has the popularity, but not really any tropes.

Do they have a disproportionately large WLW following? Basically, just do some digging around your character's tag on various social media sites, you should figure this out pretty quick. Do note this isn't just about popularity, it's about specifically a WLW following. This is why someone like vanilla Bowsette doesn't qualify; Bowsette was very popular, but the typical vanilla Bowsette that's just a Peach palette swap doesn't qualify as a sexywoman - she had some WLW fans, sure, but it was mostly horny twitter dudes who were a fan of her. It's only the specific "buff lesbian" interpretation drawn by WLW that qualifies.

If they fit both the latter qualifiers, they're probably a sexywoman. "Divisive" isn't really necessary, but does tend to pop up in the more popular sexywomen.
