I find a bit weird how utterly dominant those three are, personal observation suggests a extreme difference to other ways (I guess female readers have handsomeness as a way and some differences).
Like, Elegance, for example, is a way to enjoy, but I rarely see it in fanart, for example

read this super fast and was like "woah i know you were anti-yuri but didn't expect you to be calling a guy sexy cute and cool"

anyways no yeah especially when you gotta put out weekly chapters it's easier to make a one-dimensional character and not think about personality or god forbid development

I meant that more in context of anime girl images and how characters are treated by what constitutes online fandoms.
Slopthors also going for the lowest common denominator is a result of that, but the limitation is on the consumer side, since even characters that wouldn't really fit into those categories get put into them for audience content, or just ignored entirely

And what's the alternative to sexy, cool, and cute? Ugly greasy fuckface?

I have my mirror for that.

It's not a new problem, but I do find it's kinda worrying

I'm not sure if it relates 100%, but I talked about female characters who don't fit beauty standards

Perhaps it's the same reason why movie casts are full of "beautiful" people (who fit industry standards) 🤔

As already mentioned, Elegance and Handsomeness, another outlier was the heroicness admiration thing Himmel got a while back, though that one might be an outlier, as a few examples.

So a bishonen?

No.
I guess, even though I disagree with the term, I should just use fanart.
I'm talking more in general on how "fanart" depicts the characters that then gets shared and thus becomes the main enjoyment for the consumers

A muscly bear daddy?

Oh, you are trolling.
I see.

Not this time at least, your descriptions just seems to me to be describing sexy men. Not sure what you are trying to describe. Could you show an example pic?

No, I would need to look for that a bit and it's 8 minutes from midnight, kinda a bad time to start searching for something whose comparative rarity I find worrying.

And no, I am not talking about dudes.
