Line 20:
 
== Anime and manga ==
* Though Ivan Braginski aka Russia from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]] claims'' "[[I Am Big Boned]]!", fangirls love him with some chub. So much that fanarts/doujinshi in which he's slimmed down are often met with ''very'' negative reactions.
** Cuba, the local [[Big Fun]], is starting to get this rep as well.
* Sig Curtis of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''.
Line 27:
** Musashi Tomoe mixes it with [[Gentle Giant]] and [[Adorkable]] in the original series.
** The [[Bare-Fisted Monk]] Benkei Musashibo from [[New Getter Robo]] is a very [[Badass]] version of the trope.
* For some, Chouji from ''[[Naruto (Manga)|Naruto]]'' may grow up into this. Although looking at how he looks in ''Naruto Shippuden'', some would argue that he already is this trope.
 
== Comic Books ==
* ''[[Circles]]'' has at least two of these. Marty is a chubby skunk who is at first timid about his weight, but his new roommate [[Performance Artist|Taye]] actually finds him incredibly sexy, like a teddy bear, for which [[Gym Bunny|Ken]] derides him as a "chubby chaser". Then there's Arthur, the artistic [[Basement Dweller]] -- he's a...bear (both [[wikipedia:Bear chr(28)gay culturechr(29)|socially]] and [[Petting Zoo People|literally]]), now in his 40s, who helps reassure Marty that there's nothing wrong with being portly.
* ''[[Watchmen (Comic Bookcomics)|Watchmen]]'': Dan Dreiberg. Once he stopped crimefighting, Dreiberg presumably stopped getting his usual exercise (read: thrashing bad guys) and put on some weight. Under that, though, he's still quite strong, and he has a pretty handsome face to go with it. [[Adorkable|The glasses don't make it any worse]].
** Same said for [[Blue Beetle]] Ted Kord during his chubby period (a kind of recursive tribute, since Dreiberg was based on Kord).
* Bouncing Boy from ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Book)|Legion of Super-Heroes]]'', especially his reboot counterpart Chuck Taine.
Line 39:
== Literature ==
* Hern Heslin in the ''[[Duel of Sorcery Trilogy]]'' is at very least described as having a sweet face and beautiful eyes.
* Nanciormis in [[Barbara Hambly (Creator)|Barbara Hambly]]'s [[Literature/Sun Wolf And Starhawk|Sun Wolf And Starhawk]] novel ''The Witches of Wenshar'' is unequivocally described as one. {{spoiler|Too bad he's a skeevy, conniving [[Jerkass]] who's arguably the main antagonist of the piece, and who ultimately [[Karmic Death|gets his in the end]].}}
* [[Aubrey -Maturin|Jack Aubrey]] is on the [[Stout Strength|sturdily built]] side, and many people in-universe find him attractive. (By contrast, his [[Heterosexual Life Partner]] is described as short, skinny, and odd-looking.)
 
 
Line 59:
== Video Games ==
* Of the nine main characters of ''[[Morenatsu]]'', three (Tatsuki, Jūichi and Kōnosuke) fall squarely under this trope. Their [[Fan Yay]] is huge.
* In the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series, Bowser is very attracted to himself, and considers himself to be [[The Fighting Narcissist|the epitome of physique and manliness]]. But strangely, though he is very obviously chubby, he doesn't necessarily seem to ''see'' himself as chubby, at least until a [[Crowning Moment of Funny|particularly amusing scene]] in ''[[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story (Video Game)|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''.
** Mario is rather round, though he's leaned down in recent years.
* The title of ''[[Chub Pan]]'' highlights this trope.
Line 65:
 
== Web Original ==
* While [[That Guy With theThe Glasses]] has a lot of [[Mr. Fanservice|conventionally good-looking]], slim guys (Benzaie, [[Doug Walker]], Paw, Y Ruler Of Time, etc.), the big men like [[Rollo T]], former contributor [[Lord Kat]] <ref> who knows his way around a strawberry</ref>, and to some, Sean Fausz, get a lot of love too.
** [[Atop the Fourth Wall (Web Video)|Linkara]].
 
== Western Animation ==
Line 72:
** And it would seem that hippos as a species find chubbiness attractive, since Moto Moto and Gloria's flirting is made entirely of fat jokes.
* Arguably, [[Metalocalypse|Nathan Explosion]]. At least, he's a big guy, it's not entirely muscle, and plenty of the show's [[Periphery Demographic]] find him attractive.
* [[American Dad (Animation)|Stan Smith]] is on the chunky side, and also [[Rated "M" for Manly]] (or, rather, comedic [[Testosterone Poisoning]]).
* {{spoiler|Anastasia's boyfriend}} Dimitri, the baker boy from ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]] II''.
* Coop from [[Megas XLR]]
* [[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Uncle Iroh]] {{spoiler|...until he discovers that [[Prisons Are Gymnasiums]] in Book Three.}}
* ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]'''s Bolin. His girth in no way keeps him from being [[The Charmer]].
* T.J. Detweiler from ''[[Recess]]'' is a bit on the chubby side, yet among the female fans, he has the most fangirls.
** [[Gentle Giant]] Mikey is probably the prime example.
* Despite being a [[Fat Idiot]] and a [[Fat Slob]], Dave the skunk from [[Scaredy Squirrel]] is one of these in an [[Ugly Cute]] sort of way. Just look at that enormous, cuddly, bushy tail of his.
* [[Treasure Planet]]'s Long John Silver is considered this by a good portion of the fandom, especially when being [[Ho Yay|paired with Jim]].
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', Rarity seems to consider Donut Joe one.
