Barney Guttman is a protagonist of the animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park.
Canon
Barney is a young transgender man who seeks a job at a theme park to get away from his transphobic grandmother and complicated home life. While there, he and coworker Norma Khan deal with a number of supernatural happenings. Barney also has to confront his own family about their refusal to stand up for him, and handle a crush on his coworker Logan.
Fandom
Barney is a rare example of a trans man protagonist; this, combined with his being gay, Jewish, and plus-sized, has given Dead End much positive media and fan attention.
As of August 2022, there are 44 works on AO3 featuring Barney as a character. Of those works, 15 pair him and his canon love interest Logan together, making them the second-most-popular relationship in the fandom.
