feminist lessons, describing her as simultaneously "the most underrated but most needed Kim around". However, Girlfighting: Betrayal and Rejection author Lyn Mikel Brown dismissed Kim as both a feminist and role model because of her perceived reliance on Ron's intelligence, as well as the observation that "Her biggest threat is not evil, in fact, but the head cheerleader". Since her debut, Kim has been a popular character among both female and male fans of the show. At one point, fans of the character had sent her over one million e-mails via her website. MTV's Deepa Lakshmin predicted that Kim "will live on in our hearts forever". UGO ranked Kim 59th on the website's list of the 75 "hottest" animated characters, crowning her the "Disney Channel queen". Kim is also regarded as a fashion trendsetter, with Charmaine Simmons of Bustle crediting the character with popularizing crop tops, cargo pants and bodysuits. Also writing for Bustle, Sarah Freymiller called it "refreshing to see a girl decked out in functional black and army green attire" for much of the series. Fahey said Kim "rocked the hell out of her signature black crop top and loose cargo pants way before they were ever in style". Upon Apple's release of the Apple Watch, several critics drew similarities between the real-life device and the Kimmunicator.
