"Voting against every single furnigger pick whenever possible."

- famous last words by Anon, 2025

Playboy of /trash/ 2025 was the 2nd annual edition of the male-centered tournament series, Playboy of /trash/. This edition was hosted from November 19 to 27, 2025 on the Off-topic board of 4chan, /trash/. A total of 301 men were successfully nominated, with 128 of these entering a seeded 128-character bracket after surviving the Qualifier round.

[More flavor text to be added]

Ultimately, first prize went to Klonoa, a male anthro ambigious cat-rabbit (cabbit) who originally appeared in the game Klonoa: Door to Phantomvile. Klonoa defeated the second prize winner, Mao Mao (Mao Mao), in a decisive win, achieving victory with 73.4% of the vote.

What the fuck is a Playboy?

Playboy is the name given to a list of characters that have won a Playboy of /trash/ tournament, often described as being connected to or part of the larger /trash/ area. This moniker was introduced as the male counterpart to Playgirl, following the first Playboy of /trash/ tournament in 2024.

Rules

How to nominate?

• To nominate a character, a user must include their name, picture, and series in their post. Nominating 2 or more characters in a single post is not allowed.
• Each valid nomination must garner at least nine (9) replies in order to qualify for the contest. These replies are only counted if they are all within a single thread, and do NOT carry over to other threads.

Eligible Nominees

• All male animated fictional - cartoon, anime, video game, etc - characters (except those listed under "Excluded characters" shown below)
• Any character that was allowed or has appeared in past Mr. /co/, King of /v/ or Playboy tournaments (Grandfather Clause)
• Characters can be any age
• Puppets are allowed (e.g. Muppets, Sesame Street)
• Generalization Statute: Multiple versions of the same character --- be it from various adaptations, spin-off series, or alternative universes --- are combined into a single entrant. In other words, you are voting for the entire history of that character, not just one particular iteration.
  • Example: Zatanna (DC Comics, Young Justice, DC Super Hero Girls, etc.)
• Character Limit: Each series can only have a maximum of five (5) guys in the main bracket. These are decided by their votes in the qualifying poll. However, there is no restriction on the number of guys that can be nominated from a single series.
  • Exceptions: Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Disney core universe characters + related series (Mickey, Oswald, Goofy, and Donald)

Restrictions

• Any character from live action media is not allowed (excluding puppets, as mentioned above).
• Real-life politicians that are portrayed as cartoon characters / caricatures are not allowed, satirical or otherwise.
• No /mlp/ characters
• No Board-tans
• No "OC donut steels"
• No meme creations (e.g. Virgin vs Chad)
• No inanimate objects that aren't treated as distinct characters in their media of origin (based on a vote in the 2022 feedback)
• One-Month Old Clause: Any character debuting from the 1st of the previous month to the start date are ineligible.
• Grandfather Clause: All characters who have previously made it into Ms. /co/ or Mr. /co/lympus tournaments, and are not banned by the Elite 8 rule, are eligible to participate regardless of the above restrictions. (Examples: Dr. Eggman, Saxton Hale, JFK, Wendy's Mascot, Princess Zelda)

Other rules related to both the eligibility of trans characters and the amount of obvious joke characters are expected to be looked into, following feedback on the final survey of 2022.

Excluded Characters

Elite Eight Rule: Characters appearing in the quarter-finals of the previous contest are not allowed to compete in this edition. They will be eligible for nomination next contest. However, since 2024 was the first year for Playboy tournaments, this rule did not apply to that year's contest.
