Line 46:
* This is the origin of the term [[Badass|"GAR"]], originally a misspelling of "GAY (for X)".
** GAR originated on 4chan's board. A poster was describing his feelings towards the Fate/Stay Night character Archer, and mistyped "gay" as "gar". In fact Archer is the main embodiment of GAR with lots of straight guys on the board proclaiming that they are GAR for Archer. Another character that is hugely popular in this respect and has been for around 30 years now ever since his first appearance is [[Iconic Characters|Char Aznable]] from the [[Mobile Suit Gundam]] series.
*** The term has since been refined to refer to characters who are so [[Rated MforM for Manly|incomprehensibly manly]] (Archer from ''[[Fate Stay Night (Visual Novel)|Fate/Stay Night]]'', <s>Kamina and Kittan</s> ''every male character'' (except Leeron) from ''[[Gurren Lagann]]'', Lockon Stratos from ''[[Gundam 00]]'', Big Boss from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'') that your own manliness is ''buried'', leaving you naught but a whimpering, swooning girl child, begging to be graced with their presence.
* Sweden from [[Axis Powers Hetalia]]. Sweden actually says this in a scanlated version of the webcomic and it is even stated officially that though Sweden is, in fact, gay, he only acts that way around Finland.
* Uttered at the end of [[.hack Sign|.hack//SIGN]], the [[All There in the Manual|novel ".hack//ZERO"]] indicates that {{spoiler|Tsukasa and Subaru}} do in fact date.
