Since Fall and Winter are known as “cuffing season,” people may spend Simptember trying to get boo’d up for the cold months ahead.
Alright fellas, cuffing season is right around the corner we are now entering Simptember

No Simp September is an event with the opposite goal as it challenges people to avoid simping for the entire month. As September 2020 begins, YouTubers and meme-makers are debating the merits of Simptember vs. no Simp September.
