Sexypedia

Sexypedia is a wiki documenting "fandom sexymen", a concept that originated from the Tumblr Sexyman archetype. The wiki's guidelines define a fandom sexyman as follows:
The wiki uses SCP Foundation object classes to categorise sexymen, with "Apollyon" representing the most popular or infamous sexymen and "Neutralized" representing the least (those that meet the basic requirements, but lack a dedicated fandom).
Sexypedia was originally hosted on Fandom.com, before its abrupt closure by the service due to purported policy violations in late October 2024. It was subsequently remade on Miraheze.
