About: Kindhearted Simpleton   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

There are many characters who are dumb or airheaded. However, for some of these, what they lack in intelligence they make up for in compassion and altruism. The Kindhearted Simpleton isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but is always well-meaning and compassionate to other characters. Probably will not be quite as dumb as a standard Ditz or as airheaded as a Cloudcuckoolander, since that is not the focus of their character. Examples:

  • There are many characters who are dumb or airheaded. However, for some of these, what they lack in intelligence they make up for in compassion and altruism. The Kindhearted Simpleton isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but is always well-meaning and compassionate to other characters. Probably will not be quite as dumb as a standard Ditz or as airheaded as a Cloudcuckoolander, since that is not the focus of their character. Due to their well-meaning nature but below-average intelligence, these characters have the potential to be taken advantage of and manipulated by smarter (and occasionally evil) characters. The Kindhearted Simpleton should beware of Manipulative Bastards and Guile Heroes. (They should also know it's a snake when they bring it in.) Contrast Insufferable Genius and Mad Scientist. May be a Gentle Giant. When they are lucky and carefree instead of compassionate, they're The Fool. See also Idiot Hero, Dumb Is Good and Emotions vs. Stoicism (this landing on the "emotions good, logic bad" side). Examples:
