MCYT Tumblr Sexyman Polls in 2 Minutes

- (HC Recap voice) This week on MCYTBLR. . .
If you didn't know, Tumblr only recently got polls and so, @mcytblrsexymen on Tumblr ran a series of Tumblr sexyman polls, complete with a nomination stage and 96-person bracket because the mods are absolute legends. The polls were very much meant to be a silly goofy thing that stayed within Tumblr, and it immediately spiraled out of control SO QUICKLY as content creators caught wind of it LOL (I 100% blame Cleo /affectionate)
This is 90% a video covering the containment breach but also 10% just things that made me laugh/my own personal highlights all set to the Can Can lol sorry I left out some big events (some content creators' reactions, the Quacktho alliance, the absurd amount of voter fraud just to name a few loll) The song is only 2ish minutes long and I ran out of steam. Also people on Tumblr have been informing me that this is called a Dont Stop the Party edit so I guess that's what we call this loll
Check out the blog at www.tumblr.com/mcytblrsexymen !
The mods did an incredible job at running this whole thing, and there's so many cool graphs and infographics for all the data they collected.
(Just to be clear, the contest was always explicitly about the characters/Minecraft skins and "Tumblr Sexyman" refers to a very specific character archetype, and thus was NEVER about physical appearance at all. In fact, I'd even argue that posting pictures of your actual self would detract from your Tumblr sexyman points lol. But this was always all in good, lighthearted fun, and it led to such an outpour of love and fanart for the content creators.)

EDIT: Because I keep getting these specific question for some reason:
1. the Hermitcraft Recap screenshot is from Season 9 Week 48. The polls weren't overtly mentioned. There was just a cheeky nod towards it in the beginning of the episode (the #SaintSweep), a sort of "if you know, you know" situation
2. I don't have the link to the Jimmy vod as the original was unlisted. But the clip was from his February 7th Empires stream. I'm sure if you dig through his vod channel around that date, you can find it.
Dont forget the quacktho crackship we got from the polls LOLZ
LOL YEAH that was easily one of my favorite bits from the entire event, it truly came out of nowhere and I laugh every time I remember it akjsdhf. I ended up not covering the later rounds very much since I ran out of steam for this video, but I soooo badly wish I had put it in loll
Huh? Please tell me you have a clip..
@@_Kamura_ It's not really something that can be clipped, but more something that happened online with the fanbase! Comparatively, the content creators finding out about the polls were actually just a small part of the experience, and the bulk of the chaos was happening with people "campaigning" for their candidate through fanart, memes, and such.
(It sounds a tad dramatic when I write this all out, so just a friendly reminder that everyone was just being goofy and having lighthearted, benign fun with this!)
So one thing people started doing was making alliances (asking people to vote for your candidate while promising to vote for their candidate in their respective bracket). These alliances didn't usually have that much traction though since there were so many people split across all the choices.
Eventually, however, we got down to Round 5 where the match-ups were "Scar vs. Doc" and "Etho vs Mumbo" on one side of the bracket and "Cleo vs. Bdubs" and "Joe Hills vs. Quackity" on the other. Arguably, it was pretty obvious who would win the Scar vs Doc and Cleo vs Bdubs matchups. However, the winners of the Etho vs Mumbo and Joe Hills vs. Quackity polls were completely up in the air (I believe for most of the day, both polls were neck and neck!).
With way less candidates at this point and thus, much more voters consolidated in each group, the alliances were a lot more visible. Joe Hills fans allied with Mumbo fans, while Etho fans allied with Quackity fans. This spurred a ton of memes because even though there is, of course, lots of overlap between different circles, we've never really had a reason for Etho content to really interact with Quackity content. So people jokingly started drawing Etho and Quackity like, making out with each other with captions like "Quacktho" and "Quackblr4EthoGirls" (while also simultaneously having them say things like "I have no idea who you are." LOL). People were doing that Lord of the Rings quote like "Never thought I'd go down fighting side by side with an Ethogirl..." So you know, "shipping" Quackity and Etho's characters, but also somewhat shipping the fanbases lol?? Also people were suddenly considering the crossover potential, realizing the concept was kinda a lot of fun, and writing fanfics/AUs for it (all under the name of shoring up the alliance). All in all, very silly but incredibly funny to see us careen down this unexpected road like a car on fire
PFFT
sometimes i think about the fact this was. partially my fault,
Thing is, Joe BARELY won against Scar, who wasn’t even aware he was participating, which means:
A. Scar is naturally sexy
B. If he put even the slightest effort into the competition, Joe wouldn’t have standed a chance
omg, yes! i believe in Scar supremacy! Joes little rants tho, thats true dedication
I voted for Joe with voting fraud. If Scar would have said *anything* about wanting to get more votes at any point…… yeah I would’ve swung in his direction
The way I cackled at Scott’s “You’re gonna vote for a queerbaiter? Ok 🙄”
He really brought out the big guns LOL
He called himself a queerbaiter?
@@alcyonae nah he called Jimmy a queerbaiter, for flower husbands
1:19
@@popcatcarl6662 ah got it, thanks!
Joe frantically saying "SCAR IS WINNING A COMPETITION ABOUT HOW PRETTY WE ARE, I'M TRYING TO FIND PICTURES OF MYSELF SHIRTLESS TO POST ON TWITTER" as doc loses it is an iconic moment I wish I had seen before
I honestly thought that was a kitten, not Doc 😂
Love that Cleo was the enabler of the Twitter chaos😂😂😂
She likes watching us run.
Of course it was Cleo.
LOL YEAH-
The fact that Sapnap lost to an NPC XD
The thing I will never forget is how we really fight teeth and nails to get Sausage that far in lmao
o7 Justice for Sausage!!! At least he went down to a formidable foe😭
i was in the front lines committing voter fraud for joe
you brave soldier, thank you for the good fight o7 Not even joking, once everyone on the dash started committing voter fraud, I was like "...I have to commit voter fraud too, I feel left out" LOL
I wish you the best of luck in life you legend
0:49 the fact that Cleo was beating everyone makes my laugh my ass off
This was the only time I religiously participated in a Tumblr poll. I voted for Scar because I wanted him to win, but given just how fucking weird Joe Hills is, I'm not even mad he won. He's made for Tumblr.
Not gonna lie, I wanted Scar to win, because I knew he would be so confused when inevitably someone told him about the poll (and it happened, he was so confused and was so cute, just sad it was to No. 2 and not No. 1) ... but gotta admire Joe's dedication to the meme bandwagon
I'm so sad I had no idea this was happening until too late. I still find it hilarious that scar didn't even know about the competition and still got second place.
That's probably the best part
"wet paper bag of a man" was so iconic I still use it to this day and giggle to myself remembering Jimmy's reaction lmao
One of my favorite internet videos.
Also i need the jim reading "A wet paper bag of a man" clip
joehills falling out the platform while ranting about the votes is one of the most hilarious things ive seen on this site ngl
I joined the fandom WAY too late to have participated and I'm just now finding out about the lore of this poll, but mostly I'm just impressed at what a good sport everyone was??? Like EVERYONE was committing voter fraud and they all still shook hands and had fun with it. Meanwhile on the top ao3 ship polls someone committed voter fraud to get the ofmd couple to win over stucky and everyone lost their minds.
Haha as much as I would love to say that you're right and everyone was good sports about this contest, unfortunately that wasn’t the case. This poll wasn't AS bad as some of the more infamous ones on Tumblr because the mods were very mature about it and did their best to encourage people to be silly about it. But...mini-essay incoming, hope you don’t mind!
It actually got quite heated at the time! There were all kinds of little arguments popping up constantly, but the biggest problem that I remember coming up was when Scar and Technoblade got pitted against each other. Scar absolutely CRUSHED the nomination stage (as you can see in the beginning of the video) and so it kinda felt Scar was going to be the clear winner (he was the fan-favorite after all!). But because the polls didn't get big until AFTER the bracket dropped, nominations were primarily from Tumblr users-which, these days, tend to be Hermitcraft/Life series fans rather than DSMP. This isn't the case for other platforms like Reddit and Twitter, however! I remember content creators being shocked when someone from Empires SMP would win against a DSMP character, but that’s because the demographics are just a little different on Tumblr!
Technoblade's subreddit in particular rallied a LOT to try and win against Scar, and that match-up was neck-in-neck for like the entire day! A lot of people on Tumblr started to get upset then because it kinda felt like people from outside of the Tumblr community were coming in and taking over the poll. Plus there was the added frustration of Scar being a smaller youtuber than Technoblade was, so it felt like he was losing this popularity contest, rather than something about the archetype of a Tumblr Sexyman. So people started complaining that all these redditors were coming in, committing voter fraud, and skewing the results.
And it all sounds SO silly in retrospect because it’s just a meaningless Tumblr poll about minecraft blockmen! But it was really easy to get swayed by the atmosphere at the time (like I regret to admit it, but even I got upset about Scar potentially losing too 😅)
I think what made a huge difference was how level-headed and mature the mods were about it. When the complaints started coming in, the mods were quick to remind everyone that 1. it’s just a poll, it’s okay to get invested but if you find yourself getting genuinely upset, you should step away for a little bit and 2. it’s silly to be splitting the community like that and saying that the redditors couldn’t participate because we’re all the same MCYT community!
And importantly, when people started complaining about the voter fraud, the mods were like “if you’re complaining about your character losing to voter fraud, it sounds like _you’re_ not doing enough voter fraud yourself” And that’s why the voter fraud numbers were THAT high LOL.
I really loved that response and really think that was the best way you could respond to that situation because a lot of people were beginning to ask for the polls to be redone later, without people from twitter or reddit. The response from the mods immediately made me drop my anger too and be like goddamn, they’re so right aksjdfh TIME TO MAKE ALT ACCOUNTS LMAO.
Scar ended up winning that bracket by a slim margin so it placated a lot of people. Technoblade’s community were very gracious and lovely about the loss, and had Scar lost instead, I feel that the ppl on Scar’s side would not have been good sports about it. After all, no one had any complaints about these other sites UNTIL there was the possibility of Scar losing. And I'm saying this as a HC/life series fan, I feel that even on a regular day, a lot of the hermitcraft/life series/empires fans tend to feel an (undeserved) sense of moral superiority over DSMP fans bc of all the controversy surrounding the latter. So that schism became quickly apparent with that Scar vs. Technoblade match-up.
If you read through all this, I appreciate it haha. I like talking about this stuff, and I think it’s important to remember that no matter what, no one is immune to becoming way too heated over silly and petty internet drama!
@cadenceofyore Oh that's very interesting! Yeah I was definitely skeptical about posting my original comment because I'm sure there was some genuine anger being had in the polls, but overall I'm still left impressed. None of the negative feelings were able to overshadow the legacy of the poll (unlike some others I've seen) and I count that as a big win.
And thanks for the mini history lesson lol! It is genuinely really interesting as someone relatively new to the fandom and wants to learn all I can about what's been happening before I joined :)
Bro I love how Cleo single handedly caused all this chaos just because she used tunblr HAHAH
So proud of Joe Hills for beating Scar, truly an icon
Joe sweep :D
That Scott clip makes me wheeze every time I hear it- that was such a chaotic week
Yeah it makes me lose it too LOL Scott pulling out the big guns!! I had to have it in the big crescendo of the video haha
I absolutely love how so many of the people featured ended up doing their own campaigns and trying to get votes (excluding Joe of course, cause he was the winner) only to get beaten by Scar coming in second place; who didn’t even know this existed until it was over 😂😂
My favourite part of the whole thing is how Joe did most of his campaigning for tax reasons. He'd listed his youtube channel as a small business and the taxman was like "okay where's your budget for advertising, huh?" So Joe spent money campaigning for the mcyt tumblr sexyman competition. And won. And beat the taxman.
(or so i've heard. this could easily be a load of bull, but i feel like i remember seeing a clip of joe explaining this)
It was a stressful time for us on the No Signal SMP as the owner threatened to blow up the server if Scar didn’t win… we are only safe now because it was declared a tie at first
Oof. Glad it didn't go kablooie for you guys!
@@goldenwitherphoenix1389 We aren't outta danger yet so fingers crossed
@@karlnot_jacobs fingers crossed, high hopes for ya!
@@karlnot_jacobs
So... Did You survived the explosions?
@@LaMadriguera Some of us did...
scott just blackmailing and persuading everyone with flower husbands in the 1:16 clip
I'm proud to say I voted for dear Scar :)
I nominated and voted Scar for every round and was ready to see him all the way through. . . but when the finale came around, I was so impressed by Joe's buckwild campaigning over the course of this, that I ultimately voted for him loll. I was a traitor to the ScarSweep cause, but you valiantly stood by Scar until the bitter end o7
#SCARSWEEP2023 he won in my heart 💖
Yes he did
>43 Nominations for Docm77, *3 of which use the term "dad kisser"*
What god damn lore did i miss-
Seeing all of the CC’s talking about it and then there’s just Scar after it like “I won’t second place for… what?”
i remember this like it was yesterday...i was fighting in the TRENCHES for some of these pairs. truly a moment in tumblr history
I saw the title of this video and immediately thought "if this isn't set to in the hall of the mountain king I will be very disappointed."
I was not disappointed.
uhhh this is the can-can?
Can-Can and William Tell are also acceptable
0:58 saint goncharov best part of the whole event actually
Literally!! LOL The escalating containment breach was funny enough but once I found out that everyone got goncharov'ed on top of that, I was like "okay this is getting absolutely wild, I have to make a video adkjfh"
@@cadenceofyore I didn't even know about that until this video. Myctblr keeps on making Goncharov type shit and it's fucking hilarious, we've been doing it since before Goncharov was even a thing.
This tournament is the reason Doc is on the list of Hermits with a Tumblr. He hasn't used it in 10 months, but it still exists. It's wild to think about
All of the fanart that spawned from the poll was amazing! Still proud we got Eddie to the second round!! Wad an absolute blast of a time ^-^
When I saw that Eddie had beat Sapnap by such a large margin, I couldn't stop cackling LOL If he hadn't gone against Etho, I bet he could have gone a little further!!
As someone watching this in 2024 having no idea what this is after only just now getting back into MCYT (the only one I really followed remotely recently is Technoblade) this video made me actually cackle with the story going along to the flow of the can-can. Your comedic editing is really on point with this one
Thank you :D!!
Another video for “how did we get here” playlist lol! I still think it’s funny that Scar didn’t know anything about it. Tbh I voted Joe on the final poll without voter fraud because I kinda felt bad for him getting anvil’d by Doc while looking up pictures of himself shirtless.
Thanks for this, it’s amazing! This not-on-tumblr girl kept hearing about and being unable to see what the fuss was about, so thanks for sharing! The editing was really fun!
Thank you for the sweet comment! I'm glad you found it entertaining!
this one tournament has singlehandedly affected the entire mcyt and I didn't even know about it
The video was going too quickly for me so I watched on .5 speed and Doc’s laughter at 0:36 sounds demonic.
This is great!! I was hoping you added the clip of Scars chat scattering when some told him about the pole in a bit donation, that was funny. But again, THIS IS GREAT!!
Thank you :D!! I finished and uploaded this video just a few days after the polls ended, when there was a long enough lull that I thought we were safe from any more containment breaches...and then Scar came rocking up too late to the party lol
3rd watch, this time it's Jimmy described as a 'Wet paper bag of a man' that's broken me. And Joe searching for pictures of himself shirtless
I laughed my whole way through this video
This whole thing was incredible
(And Sapnap getting out to a freaking NPC in the first round is incredible)
I love this fandom.
1:39 XD I have no regrets!
o7 thank you for your service LOL
@@cadenceofyore o7
Which recap was it mentioned in? I absolutely need to listen them talk about this madness
@@Cariboumarch season 9, week 48.
It's been almost a long time since this madness, and I love that this is, probably, my biggest achievement in the mcyt fandom. Ever.
stood with Joe all the way im so proud of him
2:20 how did I not understand at first probably cuz I was so excited and overwhelMED- LOL BUT I LOVE THAT HES PROUD AND SO AM I 🤣 FATHER PIXXXX
The editing is FLAWLESS
the zoom out reveal for the Cleo tweet and Joe's freaking LINKEDIN POST I'm 😭
I'm so glad you included my man Pix and his thoughts at the end.
This was very funny and I think all of us who voted deserves a "i voted!" sticker for being a part of history. Thanks for this! It reminded me how fun and precious the thing was
and that's the joehills difference
TRUE
This video brings me so much joy every time, you truly encapsulated the sheer chaos of the event.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it :D!! It really was such a fun time lol
Thank you for the recap, very nice
oh man this was hilarious from the beginning to end
how have I not seen this video before it's incredible
!!! what a throwback!!! I qlmost threw up watching Joe vs quackity, qnd Joe vs scar polls round up in last minutes. literally updating the page. that was such a fantastic time to be alive
"A wet paper bag of a man." I'm dying. 😂😂😂
Can’t wait for that LinkdIn award! Yeah Joe!!!
Proud Joe voter
ALSO MOON1EE (the personaho made the powerpoint presentation on why you should vote for jimmy) IS MY FRIEND AND IT’S HILARIOUS THEY MADE IT INTO THIS LOL
A vote for Joe is a vote for the people o7 That powerpoint presentation was so funny, I couldn't not have it xD I wish I put more posts from the fandom in this video! I was a little worried people might be upset if I took their posts without asking so I tried not to put too many. But most people have been like "OMG ____ MADE IT IN THE VIDEO" haha!
@@cadenceofyore Yeah I’m really intrested that my made it in, i’ll have to let them know :D
Watching this and absolutely crying laughing remembering all of this chaos, what a time to be be alive lmaoooo
Can’t believe it was a month ago. Still love coming back to this video whenever it pops up on my tumblr dashboard or over here.
I knoww I can't believe a whole month has already passed, it simultaneously felt like the fastest and the longest 2 weeks of my life! Ty for the nice comment, I love that I still get notes/comments on both sites of people having fun with this hehe!
How did not know about this until now!?
A whole year later??
Whyyyyy???
Anyways im disappointed joel didnt end up in the higher scores 😔
Scar coming second and not even knowing that this was going on is gold
Bro, I thought this was hilarious- Great work mate! :D
Thank you! I'm glad you found this entertaining :)
I still can't over the fact that SCAR ALMOST WON WITHOUT KNOWING
Thank you so very much for this. I wasn't going to make a Tumblr account just for this, but I appreciate being filled in on all the shenanigans.
Let's all be perfectly honest here: Scar is the IronMouse of MCYT
i was NOT expecting that edited picture Sawa made to turn up fdklsjfldksjfdsl but i think the video sums up the chaos very well! good job op (Sawa also liked youre "love wins" part ehehe)
Thank you for the lovely comment!! I'm glad others also find the "Love Wins" part funny loll Even though lot of people outside of Empires don't know who Eddie is, I wanted to make the joke so badly hehe
I MADE THE EDDIE SLAM DUNK PICTURE LMAOOOOO he deserved to win idc o7
It's all thanks to you he made it so far o7 Your Eddie propaganda was so funny to me LOL I kept laughing over that one that was like "EDDIE GET BEHIND ME" as you were fighting off all the ethogirls
@@cadenceofyore it was a hard battle but I fought until the bitter end 🫡🫡🫡 all for my babygrill
which hermitcraft recap is that from? also i love this so much, i was there for most of the poll but i missed so much context in the form of streams and stuff, amazing work!
If you mean the bit at 1:40, it's the episode titled Season 9, Week 48! Thank you for the nice comment :D!
Yep. Week 48. That was the hypest moment of my life ngl.
Ghurl jimmy getting called a queerbaiter😂😂
He's too good for that role tho
Edit: 1:23 ghurl wanting jimmy unemployed lmao
Just found this video again after a while, and I'm realising Martin was playing Hi-Fi Rush at 0:49. This is truly an average Martin W
JOE HILLS, MY MAN!
I was voting Cleo all the way, at least she got pretty close
I actually made a tumblr account for this poll. I voted once and haven’t used it since
this is one of the reasons why i now watch joehills religiously.
Man, that was one of the highlights of the mcytblr community. On of the funniest things is that most of the TH-camrs who knew didn't even know what a tumble sexyman is.
I was there for this!!! Laurence from MCD lost to Xornoth! Im not surprised thoug considering
....yeah
It's amazing how close the finale ended up. I voted for Scar all the way.
I got notice of this like hours after it ended, and I had no idea this was happening (Not on twitter or tumber) but this has gotta be the best thing I've seen today man-
Every time I am reminded of this crazy event I come back to this video. That was such a fun week to be part of the community! ❤❤
Oh my god YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS JOE MY BOY YES
BUT I ALSO CANT JOE WOULD DO THAT- LOL I REALLY WANNA SEE REACTIONS!
twas a wild few days
Laughed my mouth off at this, suler underrated, take my sub.
how have i never seen joehills with all of the important check marks-
Happy 1 year to a truly unhinged experience.
WHERES THE JIMMY CLIP FROM?? i didnt see that one :(
It was from his February 7th Empires stream! I'd go and find the time stamp for you, but it seems that he hasn't uploaded the VOD yet D: But if you go to the @mcytblrsexymen Tumblr blog and search their tag "nominee updates", they have all the clips I put in this video, including the Jimmy one! If I remember, I'll get back to you once he uploads it, since I love the full clip so much lol
Honestly what I'm getting from watchign this again now, ah good times, is the tumble usernames of the participants XD
i was only vaguely on tumblr when this happened (it literally became my main social a few months later) and i only got like half of this as it was happening, im so glad this came across my recommended so i can be reminded of it again and giggle at the full story hehe
...Watched again, laughed even more.
This entire thing was insane
it was amazing watching this happen in real time. truly a moment for the history books
theres no way this was 7 months ago i refuse. anyways thank you for the summary video
THIS IS SO FUNNY I DID NOT HEAR ABOUT THIS WHEN IT WAS HAPPENING BUT THIS FEELS LIKE SOME KIND OF NATIONAL CRISIS AND THIS IS ALL OF THE WORLD LEADERS HEARING ABOUT IT LMAOOO
i wasnt here to witness this but the editing just makes everything so hilarious i love u for this :,)
I cannot BREATHE
I looked at the thumbnail and didn’t see scar and went “wait for scar, he should win” then got upset when I saw he almost actually did
nearly two years since this masterpiece...
YEA LETS GO JOEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think we need to do this every year LMFAOOOOO
Docs « dad kisser comments » stop 😂😂😂 WHY DOSENT ETHO HAVE 10000P VOTES OMG I’d say top three (in no order) scar Etho and mumbo
But also ❤tango❤ sausage and BDubs my beloved 👏
And X! Plz. Also aimsey’s comment lol as well as Joe hills scrambling to find shirtless pics
Also…. Why didn’t OLI WIN❤
i remember i was late to my english period because i needed to see the final results of joe vs scar
I counted either 22 or 27 (idk, forgot what hand I was on,) for MCYTubers that found out abt the poll, good job on keeping it hidden tumblr users (I’m not on tumblr so, yeah) :)
guys i am now and i used the “are you really gonna vote for a queerbaiter?” as jimmy propaganda for the mcyt queerbaiting competition going on. go vote for timmy.
We should do this all again this year. I wonder who’d win this time
can you imagine if scar actually put in effort to win? i already feel faint when he winks and acts like a total goober i cant handle if he actually tried
I was in the front lines for this. It was my real debut on tumblr, despite having had an account for a few years prior to this
Good times, even if it made me a catastrophic mess at the time (the people I'm closest to still remember it)
i remember committing voter fraud for Joe, this was such a crazy time forreal.
Technodad is such a cutie, I can't
People need to look closer at Vintage Beef and Keralis. Like... Omg look at them!
Aha but it's not about their looks at all actually! It's about if they fit the Tumblr Sexyman character archetype :3
