Men of the Year take many forms, yet certain qualities endure. They exude masculine vigor. They possess the desire and (more importantly) the ability to beat up journalists. Above all, they enjoy having sex with women. Hunter Biden, a perennial honoree, embodies this ethos better than anyone.
Nick Fuentes sits on the opposite pole of the manhood spectrum. He's a bottom-tier beta virgin who couldn't beat Anderson Cooper in a tickle fight. He has the soft, cherubic features of a prepubescent girl taking her first steps on the road to gender affirmation. Whereas Hunter once said having sex with his dead brother's wife was the only reason he would ever come home, Fuentes has denounced male-on-female sexual relations as "gay."
Fuentes, who claims to be 27 but looks barely legal, will never share the crackhead scion's joie de vivre. Hunter moves through the world at full-throttle, appetites unleashed. Fuentes cowers in his closet studio, where he films himself handling a mic shaft inches from his parted lips. But that doesn't mean he hasn't earned his shot at glory. We simply can't allow his service to the cause of American male exceptionalism to remain uncovered.
This award is not solely driven by a desire to promote "DEI for talentless whites." Fuentes is, without question, a walking rebuttal to the ideology espoused by white supremacists. Nevertheless, he managed to achieve the impossible in 2025. Nazism was already one of the gayest political movements in existence. The spiffy uniforms. All that leather. The catty theatrics and limp-wristed salutes. Fuentes resolved to make it even gayer and didn't stop until he finished the job.
Fuentes, aka "that Nazi twink" and the "weird little gay kid who lives in his basement," went on Tucker Carlson's podcast and explained that he doesn't find women "attractive." He praised Glenn Greenwald, the foreign operative best known for worshipping the feet of a male prostitute. Fuentes ended the year by slobbering over Gavin Newsom's hot bod. In a devastating blow to his morbidly obese fanbase, he appeared to suggest that lacking flab was more important than hating Jews. Mee-ow!
For turning an entire generation of Nazis into a submissive harem of emocore incels who will never amount to anything in life, Nick Fuentes is a Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year.
