[Rant] Overuse of "Simp"

Off Topic
1

Hate that word.

Can’t respect or be nice to anyone without being called that. At this point what does simp even mean anymore, it can be from donating your entire bank account to some gamer girl or simply respecting someone. The term has been thrown around so much it has just lost all it’s meaning. No one uses it in the correct situations anymore and you got kids just making the situation worse.

You’re a simp if you talk to a girl
You’re a simp if you think about one
You’re a simp if you like one
You’re a simp if you look at one for .99999 nanoseconds
You’re a simp because I said so : )

Now if you are actually donating your hard earned money to some streamer girl/guy (girls can be simps to) for a reason beyond “supporting” them (such as getting them to notice you as a love interest) and defending them NO MATTER WHAT-

Stop it.
Get some help.

THAT is simping, putting too much emphasis on someone for no reason. Otherwise, holding the door for a girl because i’m nice is not simping. Offering my help to someone is not simping. Supporting a solodev despite the games glaring flaws is not simping.

Didn’t know that having a conscience was a crime.

People who use it in exaggeration are just joking tho (or if not why do you care what some stranger on the internet thinks?)

4

Yeah that’s the correct definition, my bad

5

True.

It just got to the point where I got fed up of hearing it lol.

Don’t get me wrong, I can take a joke. This is more directed towards people who use it unironically.

6

Sounds like something a simp would say

7

Then ya gotta laugh at them for using it unironically (like seriously tho)

:frpensive:

Don’t worry i’m not an actual simp :rofl:

I will defninitely regret this post in the future based on the replies I got already, ah well.

Yeah. that gets really annoying. Hell, I’m actually afraid of even admitting I like someone at all because of this shit, and how it makes everyone kinda hate you, and results in everything you say being regarded as useless and ignorable.
Also, it’s why I often refuse to say that I respect Nekosaikou for how much of a god damn amazing troll she is. 'Cause I’ll get called a simp, and become an outcast for like the third damn time in my life.

Jesus, who takes “simp” status seriously? They need to grow up.

Neko’s a boi apparently, you’re safe.

11

I’ve noticed people in places like Vetex’s Server, and some other places take it seriously.
And if it doesn’t directly outcast you, then you’re still having your reputation hurt for a while.
Also, Neko is a guy? Well, still, what a fucking chad.

Lol, the little internet kids shouldn’t mean anything to you. Step on them and squish them out of existence.

13

Eh, okay then. Still, it relates to rumors and that shit. And then there’s friends who end up getting it wrong and calling you that… Ugh. I could go on, but it might just be my honestly semi-crippling social anxiety at work.

14

Mm, I really wouldn’t encourage you to stay friends with people who’d get it that wrong and not let you explain (but what do I know). Ofc, there’s no pressure for you to do so if you’re happy, but it’s food for thought. I tend to drop people really quick if they start to be annoying (bad habit of mine).

15

What if I simp for myself, it’s the start of narcissism

16

…Fair point. I really let people shove me around too much, I should be more like you, and be assertive about this stuff.

17

lol, I wouldn’t say I’m assertive so much as I don’t value the opinions of people I don’t care about. Not necessarily encouraged to be like that, but it puts things into perspective for me.

18

“Simping” has lost all meaning and been replaced with “stanning.” Stanning is basically the same thing as simping, but it hasn’t been ruined yet.

19

Yet… Wait until I’m done with it

people still use that buzzword? i thought it went away 2 months ago
