Nah simping used to be reserved for people being overly invested into women streamers to the degree where they donate them money to get their attention and similar behaviours.

Conservative weirdos then misused them term to mean anyone that is nice to women.

Right, and like I said in another comment, if 99% of the uses of the word I see are exactly those, it doesn't matter what the fuck it's "supposed to" mean when people use it to just mean anyone who's having a non-hateful interaction with a feeeeeemale

It really hasn't overtaken the original meaning yet. You might wanna try touching grass.

tOuCh GrAsS is the best you can come up with when you disagree with someone? You that far in the internet brain rot that you can't use your words anymore?

I'm with you for cringe, but simping... eh idk. I've been under the impression the term encompasses unhealthy one way obsessions which are often self destructive. Of course some dumbass will cry simp at any lambda fan of fine things, but that's just abusing the word no?

Well, when 99% of the uses of the word "simp" I see are just conservative fuckwits getting upset that someone is having a normal and healthy interaction with a feeeeeeeemale, it doesn't really matter to me what the "real" meaning of that word is supposed to be

I see, thanks for the clarification. That’s an unfortunate shift.
