About

I Don't Care If He's A Big Buff Man, He's Still My Wife is an exploitable fan art template, similar to a Ship Dynamic post, depicting one outspoken character saying, "This is my girlfriend, my wife, my baby girl" and the title sentence in reference to an oblivious-looking figure labeled "male fictional character." The template inspired art depicting pairs from various media franchises as the two characters on Twitter in July 2023.
