In light of the Spectrum’s annual sex survey results being posted, the editorial staff decided to share our hear me outs — a person or character that one finds attractive though they are unconventional or slightly embarrassing.
Endermen from the videogame “Minecraft”
Listen. I don’t know what it is. There’s just something about them. Especially when they are holding a block.
- Izabella Ducato, Editor-in-Chief
Orochimaru from “Naruto”
Some might find him physically unsettling or even disturbing, partly due to his villainous nature and snake-like aesthetic. His strong bone structure and long dark hair, however, are enough for me.
- Belle Clark, Copy Editor
Sofia Falcone from “The Penguin”
Just watch the show and you will understand. I can fix her.
- Jacob Wojtowicz, Senior Features Editor
Puss in Boots from “Shrek” and “Puss in Boots”
Honestly, I don't feel like I really need to explain this one. He would fight hard for me, but he also has that sweet baby face that just melts my heart.
- Olivia Risolo, Assistant Multimedia Editor
Archibald Asparagus (Archie) from “VeggieTales”
He’s tall and British. Can’t say I don’t love my vegetables.
- Sabrina Wroblewski, Director of Marketing & Communications
Ken Kaneki from “Tokyo Ghoul”
Do I have to explain this one? Ken was my first love interest when I got into anime, and he will forever be in my top 5. But specifically, I love white-hair Ken from season 1, episode 13 after he attacked Jason. He looked sooooooo ugh especially when he snapped his fingers.
- Amy Aracena, Managing Editor
Diego from “Ice Age”
He’s just so pathetic but sensitive at the same time.
- Nadia Bangaroo, Assistant News Editor
Simon from “Alvin and the Chipmunks”
He’s smart, caring, gentle and kind. He has glasses and always wears a hoodie.
- Alyssa Ramos, Senior Multimedia Editor
Margaret from “Regular Show”
She continuously played with Mordecai's feelings, but honestly, I would let her do the same.
- Saqib Khan, Assistant Features Editor
Boo-boo Bear and Yogi Bear from “Yogi Bear”
Nothing sexual, I just want to be their friend.
- Ciah Courtney, Senior Sports Editor
