Yeah, I can't remember where I heard the line about objectification, but I can't take credit.
But it is definitely true that it is a deeply and instinctually meaningful thing for men to provide resources to and defend something, whether that's a woman, a tribe, or a country. Now in the age of feminism and globalisim, it's sexist to provide for a woman and racist to support your country in any but the most superficial way.
It really shouldn't be too surprising when men spend their time, money and affection on an anime or video game character, a pet, a car, a motorcycle, a boat, or any other number of things they are passionate about instead of chasing women.
I think it has something to do with the concept of an animus that Jung talks about. Effectively, the optimal thing for a man is to basically transform his female lover into his animus, which he then uses to drive himself forward. Part of the interesting feminine aspect of this relationship, is that women have to actually figure out if they could, or should, become a man's animus to drive him forward for her and their family.
Simping is effectively a way of a woman being a man's animus with zero actual responsibility to him, which is why it is an inherently abusive relationship.

Seems healthier to me than simping, in any case.
