@SuperDicq It was, yes, just like how weeb was invented as a derogatory term 20 years ago on the sewer/4chan and now 99% uses it happily and the dance night is called "club weeb".
These days, simp also is used for massive fans, like I have a discord server in which someone is called "Hua Cheng Simp". XD
And hey, don´t challenge Japan, they'll find a way! Remember that guy who married a Miku hologram - hell there is a wedding company on twitter that organises weddings with anime characters! XD
