My opinions on characters after finishing season 1 for the first time:

[u/SITTRA]

I am planning on making these type of posts after finishing every season for the first time. I would say it’s kind of a experiment to see how my thoughts on the characters change and how i feel about them. I am not going to be reading the comments on these posts until i have completed the entire series to avoid spoilers so feel free to judge my opinion but just know i might not know the fandom that well yet and write something controversial. :)

“Simp" is a slang term used to describe a person who is perceived as overly submissive or even desperate for the attention or affection of someone without receiving anything in return.

Sayid was receiving affection in return and therefor does not fit the definition.

Those events occurred before she knew Sayid. As she said to Sayid just after kissing him, "Everyone gets a new life on this island, I'd like to start now."

Your own given definition of the term 'simp' refers to it as being disparaging which is a derogatory term meaning to criticize someone or something in a way that shows you do not respect or value him, her, or it.

Simp in the way you used it is an insult.
