How would you react to someone simping for your character in the comments?

[moontokkym]

I have had people simp for two of my characters, it's very funny xD


Tadaaa

[DarkSena]

It's a nice thing if you see other people really enjoying your characters to this kind of degree.
I think all of us feel happy if your work is being loved

[Aeneas1]

I would be extremely uncomfortable.

[Kelheor]

I mean, they simp over a guy with no nose and a dude that looks like a severely underfed eel. I can only respect them for that

I’d be honoured. I mean who wouldn’t simp for these two?

Owen is definitely a DILF:

And Evander is the hottest little cinnamon roll:

[WorldBreakerNovels]

Lol what a question.

I guess go for it. If someone finds particular interest in my characters, then by all means, enjoy that fantasy.

[GodbreakerComic]

That's a bucket list thing for me actually. One of those "you've made it" moments.

I have a bunch of characters that are around 16ish, so I might be a little weirded out by someone simping for them... if they're also a teenager then I don't find it weird at all, but obviously i can't tell cuz we're online. I would try not to let it get to me, I can't police that, we're on the internet and it's fictional characters.

But if it's my older characters, then it's just hilarious no matter what. You wanna simp after my B-tier art? More power to you ig XD
Listen I simp after Sora I just think she’s pretty

[pinxfoxx]

I would weirded out bc both characters are like around 14 (it's not specified) and I draw in a very cartoony style so I would say they don't look like adults whatsoever.

[abigaillmartin]

Awwwwww they look so cute! Can I have a link to your comic please?

[willmarstudios]

I'd feel so honored and like ready to become friends with them

[smokesalty]

That's what happens every single time Anopheles appears in an update, people are feral for him I find it funny, it's literally one of my marketing strategies to go "Hey... there's a hot cult leader man in my comic, you should read it (very effective).

[abigaillmartin]

Those cheekbones!! Daaaaang! I can’t blame them lol.

[Stargazer31]

I'd support it as long as said character is an adult

[Lazy-Gamer]

I've had a few people tell me they read my comics strictly because they love one or two characters.

My usual reaction online is, I thank them. But offline I'm flattered to high heaven. (´∀｀) Honestly makes my day when someone says they like my characters.

Adding to this since a lot of people are bringing it up (and my main characters are also teenagers): I don't feel like "simping" for a fictional character always has to be inappropriate? Could be that the simp is a teenager, could be Very Strong But Platonic feelings, etc. So I wouldn't necessarily find it weird for someone to attach themselves to my underage characters unless they started making gross comments about them, lol.

[morganicfoods]

Ah, I interpreted "simping" as being inherently romantic and/or sexual, but if it's just platonic(?) simping that's totally chill.

From what I understand, the slang word "simp" was originally defined as a guy who would do absolutely anything for a girl he finds attractive, in hopes that she might return the attraction. Obviously the meaning has morphed over time, it now just kinda means "person who is attracted to someone" but I've never seen a platonic interpretation of the word.

[AmysGames]

That might be on me tbf, I don't always understand slang lol. But I'm pretty sure I've heard people use it in an aromantic way??

[HiMothie]

God I'd be so hype. I frequently simp for my own characters. I really hope folks simp
