The post was criticized as people took the line about "an older character kissing a younger one" to be encouraging pedophilia,^[7] a claim vampirequeenoffan denies.^[8] Posts made in parody of the comic did not begin appearing until the beginning of July.

Popular parodies also appeared that day. vaporwavesimulator^[3] uploaded a parody that gained over 9,300 notes (shown below, left). The following day, sodapickles^[4] uploaded a parody that gained over 17,000 notes in less than 2 days (shown below, right).
