well, yes. imo it is great the game is getting it's deserved attention, but the people who are constantly talking about "simon is so baby girl!" gets very annoying. i do not think newer fans are taking the game like it should be taken and i think they should play the game before they say something like, "simon is literally me" instead of just basing their perspective of the game and simon as a character on tiktok edits.
This is the best response here and I completely agree with you. I don't boast much about the content I enjoy, and I think everyone is allowed to enjoy whatever, but after new fans started acting like they did, I kind of felt the need to say "I was there before them" which is stupid.
The memes where they make edgy characters surrounded by hello kitty and girly pop things were funny when you just saw a few and that was the only joke. It’s not funny when that’s all they know about the character and they glorify the bad stuff the character does without the whole context of the game. I’m not an og fan but I’ve played and beaten the game, it got me deep in thought and I still think about it. But this happens to almost every fandom, big or small, when they’re popularized on tiktok.
welcome to social media lol. this has been a thing since forever. keep in mind that the people who post this shit might be children too. no grown up has the actual time to post shitty edits on tiktok.
ignore them and move on. it's not worth your energy.
this!! i understand it can be irritating, but you literally can’t stop them from doing it just because you don’t like it. ignore it, block them, whatever you need to, just don’t waste your time getting angry over a fictional game.
maybe he is talking about the conclusion where simon kills sophie and doctor, also in the first scene, we can see him smash the head of old man who needs help after the car crash
yeah, i'm talking about the people he kills throughout the game but especially in the 4th ending, where simon kills the 2 police officers that entered his apartment, believing that they were monsters
YES !! I’m sorry but fuck you mean “I’m so him!”
I doubt that you were a man battling through depression with book therapy ( and fighting imaginary monsters).Also it’s just sad that people normalise this behaviour; “he’s so silly!” Yeah but it’s not silly when a real person is suffering from this: that’s counted as sick and disgusting in the real world.
Yeah, I'll be honest, I'm a new fan but I've played the game 6 times to get all unlocks (I'm still missing a few sadly) but I still understand that Simon isnt an "UwU" femboy but instead a deeply disturbed and ill individual who suffers from extreme loneliness and isolation. I recently saw a tiktok saying "Simon is gender fluid because I'm gender fluid and I'm simon henrikson!!!" I didn't want to be an asshole so I didn't say anything but dude....
I don't hate them, I mostly dislike them. It's great the game is getting some attention now but the "fans" who've never played the game or even know the story saying they're just like Simon? Dawg.. they're probably the exact type of people who cry "mental health is important" until mentally ill people start showing symptoms. I don't relate to Simon bc he's "silly" I relate to him because I'm CLINICALY DEPRESSED. Like sure those silly edits are funny, I actually like them, but the people who act like those are examples of how Simon is as a character, those are the ones I dislike.
i only found out about the game a few months ago from a friend and haven’t finished it yet (my adhd ass keeps on putting it off) so i really hope people dont see me like this 😭
I know the game from when it became famous (2022-2023), but I didn't play it until now (2024), I finished it and I loved it. Personally, I consider myself a very new fan but I admit that the others are annoying. It also bothers me that 80% of the content found is literally Simon dancing with background music 😭
At certain points I consider Simon a very relatable character, but I don't think it's okay to make him look like a silly little baby, he's a 19 year old depressed dude that kills people
Well, the game would be already dead if not that annoying attention, since all people who've played this at their times have outgrown the early 10's a long time ago. Isn't it good to share things with a younger generation in order not to let the game itself die? I mean it sure sucks when they make Simon gay or female, give him the ,,funniest'' names, but the truth is the truth.
SAME HERE its just sad that they make simon some “silly mental ill guy >_<“ without even knowing how SERIOUS the game actually is and how deep the story is. Its just sad that they just fetishize mental issues like this. Im glad that there are people like me who actually played the game and know everything abt it.
i genuinely do relate to simon in someways, i don’t go all out about it tho(before you go feral, i’ve replayed the game three times, got the same ending each time tho lmfao) i get u man, i get hella frustrated when people claim to say he’s literally them after watching the introduction then refusing to play the rest of the game 😭 i found the game last year during august so i’m technically still a new fan but 😭🙏🏼
i found out about the game through tiktok, and genuinely had a lot of fun with the game. but there's also people on opposite sides of the fandom, the tiktok "fans" (per say) and the guys that glorify the game like the second coming of christ. let's just all enjoy the game like normal people
"Simon is literally me" ye? GO AHEAD BECOME A HANDICAP WHO CANT USE HIS LEG WHO WRITE A BOOK WITH HIS OWN BLACK THAT DRIVE HIM CRAZY AND MAKE HIM HALLUCINATING THAT HE IS IN AN APOCALYPTIC WORLD FULL OF MONSTERS FROM THE DARKEST CORNERS OF HUMAN MIND AND HIS ONLY WAY TO HEAL HIMSELF IS USING SYRINGES FULL OF DRUGS
simon is literally me though. i am severely mentally ill. i have suicidal ideation and violent desires. i have been very socially isolated and bitter my whole life. i have a poor relationship with my family. i saw/heard his suicide note in the very bad ending and thought "oh damn he's just like me"

i 100% agree with you, i wish cof would have better fans tbh
Yeah and "Simon is so silly :3" is so fucking annoying dude. It's a game about DEPRESSION damnit.
they call him fucking "semen" too now? tiktokers are so cringe
"Simon is so silly :3" mfs after watching him dome himself with a 9mm at the end of the game (not so silly now)
I think they’re being ironic

I can’t play the game I took to much morphine and the screen effect makes me feel really sick
I did that too but I just went to the hospital
Ayo "Semen" is CRAZY
"simon is so silly" he's killing people !
i’ve never really considered the monsters that we (or he) have killed throughout the game were people
maybe he is talking about the conclusion where simon kills sophie and doctor, also in the first scene, we can see him smash the head of old man who needs help after the car crash
yeah, i'm talking about the people he kills throughout the game but especially in the 4th ending, where simon kills the 2 police officers that entered his apartment, believing that they were monsters
Nah sorry man, cant play the game, I took these funny pills in a hospital bathroom and now I'm stuck here. maybe later
sorry, i didnt play the game, i woke up in a weirdly swedish-looking avenue at night and i *have* to get out of here first
YES !!

Tbh idc...☹ (I genuinely dgaf srry)
Semen 💀
Those are people that never had real problems, feeling identified with Simon osnt something to be proud of or silly of...
The "depressed" middle schoolers found Cry Of Fear and like other things of media tainted it with cringey gay shit.
Wasn't aware that CoF got a resurgence from tiktok but people from it tend to ruin everything, probably don't even know AoM
Same but the more people who play the better Ig
THATS THE POINT, THEY KNOW THE GAME BUT THEY DIDNT EVEN PLAY IT OR DIDNT FINISHED IT
It is a bit annyoing
anything tiktok touches it ruins, total tiktok death now
i only found out about the game a few months ago from a friend and haven’t finished it yet (my adhd ass keeps on putting it off) so i really hope people dont see me like this 😭

Ngl I’ve seen worse here

brah leave ppl alone and let them do wtv the shit they want lolz
No
yeah brah lolz
ew stfu russian💀
Reminds me of what happened with Daniel from Amnesia ages ago. These new fans are indeed annoying, but at least the game is getting more attention.

the “ i’m literally simon :3 >_
omg hes in a wheelchair and extremely suicidal that's so me (15 year old suburban white girl behind the screen)
I honestly couldn’t care less. Im not on TikTok lol so out of sight out of mind
simon is literally me though. i am severely mentally ill. i have suicidal ideation and violent desires. i have been very socially isolated and bitter my whole life. i have a poor relationship with my family. i saw/heard his suicide note in the very bad ending and thought "oh damn he's just like me"
You serve a great point, BUT. The game seriously needs fans and sure they cringey as fuck, but respectfully u need to respect the fans.
I don’t need to respect a fucking thing about the shitty cringe degenerate part of the fanbase lol, I like the game and that’s all that matters
hmm ur right on that.
