Lovebombing gets such a bad name
But it feels like another ambiguous concept like "simping" and "white-knighting" that has been ruined by toxic, disingenuous people.
If you break it down, lovebombing is giving someone adoration and attention in the early stages of a relationship or courtship, then cutting off the supply. But what if you carry on adoring and focusing on someone forever? Is that still bad? Or is that just love?
The same with the other two. Simping is endlessly complimenting people online to try and convince them to have sex with you. Which I believe has worked - *checks notes* - zero times in history. But if you're complimenting people because they're great and you want to highlight that, isn't that called... being friendly?
White knighting. Calling out the shitty behaviour of other people in the hope that the victim will have sex with you. Again this has worked zero times in the history of the internet, but it means people are more reluctant to call out shitty behaviour lest they be labelled as a white knight.
In summary let's not let toxic behaviour infect the love, the kindness, and the protective instincts we have. Now please can everyone who wants to have sex with me because of this post form an orderly queue.
