Wheatley would not reach the same fame as the sexymen that would come later, but he was still given the original sexyman treatment. He was given a universally accepted humanized form so that Tumblr users could feel okay about wanting to fuck a robot—a skinny white man with blonde hair and glasses. My thoughts on Wheatley himself? None, he seems cool, I guess. My thoughts on him being a sexyman? I hate it.
