About

Dirty Confession Simulators are YouTube videos that feature anonymous confessions primarily from Tumblr fandom confession blogs or comment sections of fandom websites set to the format of thread simulators, where images of the confessions are shown, read with a text-to-speech program and set to he Overworld theme from the 1988 Nintendo game Super Mario Bros 2 soundtrack.

Confession Blogs/Anonymous Confessions

Confession Blogs are a type of single topic blog where people can submit confessions. While some sites require registration, most of these sites operate anonymously. On Tumblr, confession blogs are often populated by anonymous submissions and relegated to a certain topic or fandom.

Origin

Confession Simulators began appearing after YouTube users combined images from anonymous confession blogs with the format of Thread Simulators in 2012 (not long after the first non-4chan thread simulators surfaced).

One of the earliest known instances of the meme was uploaded in a video titled "Pony Confessions Simulator 1.0" by YouTuber Jackald on May 5th, 2012.

Spread

On May 25th, YouTuber Malkouho uploaded another instance titled "Dirty Disney Confessions Thread Simulator v 1.0" featuring text-to-voice narrations of anonymous confessions describing sexual fantasies involving Disney characters found on Tumblr:

On June 2nd, YouTuber zeldadude3568425 uploaded a second compilation of My Little Pony-themed NSFW confessions titled "Pony Confessions Tumblr Simulator v99.9" as a follow-up, garnering more than 178,000 views in just two and a half years.

In 2012, dozens of similar "simulation thread" videos featuring text-to-voice narrations of erotic confessions on Tumblr were uploaded to YouTube, with several instances racking up over 100,000 views.
