Pretty much. It's like cuck and white knight mixed together, but of course they also use it interchangeably with whatever else because they have no consistency

It's "cuck" by way of disparaging intelligence and implying neurodivergence or disability because it's short for "simpleton" or "simple".

I don't think they put that much thought into it; it's just a different word with the same sexual insult.

I'm not gonna put a lot of stock in Urban Dictionary myself but I could believe it. I dunno. It's yet another stupid word that sounds stupid and is being used by the worst possible people. On the plus side you can tell it's a bad idea used by bad people because it sounds so dumb.

Simp as used for simpleton has been around for years, just not in wide circulation. They had to switch from cuck since it was no longer 'new', but of course, being the wasted abortions that they are, they are incapable of coming up with anything new.

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

So they know most people now pick up on “cuck” as an alt-right/general shithead term* and are shifting to a newer, less-used, potentially more confusing one to fly under the radar.

*when not being used purely as fetish, and even then depending on the particulars it’s very telling of the user’s character

First time I saw 'simp' being used was in the Castlevania subreddit after the most recent season, of all things. I'm not sure if that was ground zero or just a weird coincidence.

There’s just been a cascade effect where chuds are bringing their new favorite word to the groups they run with. Since most people don’t know their weird game and it’s fun to say they adopt it too. I’ve seen it being used on twitter by people who are pretty left leaning but are involved in anime communities or gaming.

I only have excellent ideas
From what I understand Pewdie Pie started using it as a catchphrase and the usual suspects latched onto it and disseminated it from there. It is bizarre in that, like "cuck," I'm also seeing a wave of younger progressive people also using it, although I imagine that'll die down as it gets more prominence and specificity on the right.

Yeah, the only reason EVS is parroting a dead man's name is because that's the only people related to the industry who can't shut his bullshit down due to being dead. Imaginary allies and drumming up outrage because he could sure use some money right about now.

I'm not sure what he is saying. At first it sounded like he is saying that he tried to make her a fleshed out character but the higher ups eviscerated that and sexualized her but then he talks about things being political and I kind of lost him.

That's the second largest duck I've ever had in my pants. - Guybrush Threepwood
As I understand it, Warner wanted a marketable Harley/Joker romance. The movie was originally shot with their unhealthy relationship on full display in every scene they have together. For example, the time where a Joker saves Harley by pushing her out of a helicopter about to be hit with a rocket? He just tried to kill her for laughs. The rocket attack came later when Joker tried to leave the city without her. The studio toned it way down for the Hot Topic crowd. Harley’s arc culminated with her coming to terms with that and choosing the squad over her puddin’. Obviously that didn’t happen.

Would that have made it a good movie? Hard to say. The film we got was a train wreck re-edited to the point of insanity. However, I haven’t seen any reason “politics” would be a veiled reference to identity politics in this tweet. This seems to me to be ordinary annoyance of any director whose film gets taken over by the suits.

I do wonder what Ayer's actual movie would have looked like. Was the gratuitous 'Harley pulls on her clothes' shot in there? Did the original script explain Katana with all the grace and elegance of a claw hammer to the frontal lobe?

I feel bad for Ayer because giving the company that put together the trailer the rights to do the full cut is such an absurd thing to do that years later I can still barely believe it. No director deserves that.

There's a list of directors who can demand final cut and get final cut, and people with better critical respect and higher box office numbers than David Ayer are not on that list

Absolutely, but it's definitely a raw deal when it's the trailer company that gets to do it, y'know? It feels unprecedented but even if it's not, that's rare as hell and for good reasons.
