Not an example, we have Sex God for this.: Memetic Sex God

There is nothing even remotely memetic about this picture, he's probably a plain old Sex God. Is this possible to replace?

I really don't have an issue with the Hef, although I have a few of his issues. If anyone's got another idea, let's hear it.

For refrence.

Works fine for me.

Seems good to me.

I like it.

But how is the image even remotely memetic?

The way I see it, it's in the caption. "The hero of horny 12-year-olds everywhere."

The trope deals with characters/individuals whom everyone wants, no exceptions, even the guys or gals want him, etc. While the horny 12 year old boys may idolize him, I don't think they want to do Heff.

Aaaaaaaaa. Disregard everything I have said.

David Bowie then?

He might be an example, but I'm having problems finding a picture that shows any of it.

Bump...what do we want to do with this?

There's this◊, but it's not that great.

*snerk* Well, Bowie's package definitely qualifies, but that's a little busy.

Hold on. The current picture's just about perfect. Hugh Hefner is very much a memetic sex god, even more so than David Bowie.

This page is not for people "whom everyone wants, no exceptions, even the guys or gals want him, etc." That's Even the Guys Want Him and Even the Girls Want Her. This is for someone who everyone does have sex with, according do tongue-in-cheek popular culture, whether This Troper finds the character attractive or not. Bruce Campbell is a Memetic Sex God. Chris Pine is not.

From the article:

This is a reaction from the fans. Even the Guys Want Him and Even the Girls Want Her is when a character attracts attention from characters within the work. This trope is when somebody receives this treatment from the fanbase.

Yeah and actual high frequency should probably go under Really Gets Around.

Yes, I see that line in the last paragraph, which tries to distinguish the trope from Memetic Molester. But the more accurate description opens the intro: "This is a character who, in fandom's eyes, can instantly get laid by giving anyone a look and a suggestive wiggle of the eyebrows."

This is why, for instance, Duke Nukem could be an example. Do fans all want to lay Duke Nukem? No. But they consider him capable of seducing anyone - he's a memetic sex god.

This applies to real people too. Popular culture has granted Chuck Norris, regardless of his actual attractiveness, a supernatural libido and limitless seduction powers. On the other hand, Summer Glau, also listed under real life, is not an example. She is not a Femme Fatale or a Casanova. She doesn't "get laid" with a suggestive wiggle of the eyebrows. Her fans just want to have sex with her. This is unsurprising and not remarkable - she's an attractive actress.

We do not want a page for editors to list people and characters they'd lay. We've had several and have been slaving to delete them all.

Right. This is not about characters' having lots of sex. It's about their exaggerated (memetic!) reputations for being able to sex ANYONE - maybe originating in their actual exploits or maybe based on something else altogether.

Please reply in this thread, which discusses the trope's meaning rather than just its picture.

Okay, in cases like this, TRS takes precedence I guess.

Really is there anything you would be happy with? Anything at all?

Move Hugh to Kavorka Man where he belongs, Move Snape from Self-Fanservice, put Rorschach at the Self-Fanservice page.
Please?

I disagree. Hef is *the* example. When people think Hugh Hefner, they think of the guy who has a bunch of hot porn stars (er, erotic models) at beck and call. Even if you *don't* know who Hef is, it's a picture of an old, not-exactly-attractive-even-for-his-age man wearing a silk smoking jacket surrounding by busty, young, clearly-porn-star blondes.

That's a great picture, through and through.

1) We already have Sex God;
2) Hef is ugly. I can't imagine myself in the place of such an ugly Dirty Old Man.

Disregard.
