I tried to remember what Simple Plan was famous for, and I thought of "Stacy's Mom", "Fat Lip", and "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". What was the Simple Plan song that was like, a thing?

I always found it funny how left wing and right wing internet people used the terms 'nice guy' and 'simp', respectively, to refer to the same thing. They both criticize men who act really fawning towards women they're trying to get with, but 'nice guy' seems to criticise them more for the assuming that it makes them entitled to the woman's affection, while 'simp' seems to criticize them for failing to recognize that women are fundamentally cold, machiavellian creatures who respect only unbridled power

No one on the world has ever actually been rejected for being too nice. It's an excuse for or a reduction of the actual reasons

it's got a lot of contexts tbh and it's often leveled as an insult towards men who don't act like caricature aggro "alphas" to women online. Say "nice heals" to a female playing support? wow check out this loving simp.

It's used irrespective of the target being a "nice guy" or genuinely nice. It's a very versatile word that's also very dumb imo.

The inverse of pimping would be paying women money to stay away from you so I think you’re on to something there.

Yeah 16 year olds say a lot of poo poo. Simp is a thing to me, but I don't call everyone I meet gay anymore like I did at 16. It's a hot new slang that derserves respect but is overused for what it actually is so Ill agree.

Actual simps are going into the weird streamer-viewer relationship with the express knowledge and intent of not getting anything in return as a way to show how non-sexual they are, in a weird attempt to make themselves seem not like creeps and win over their desired streamer (leading to having a chance to grow the relationship into sex, in their head). It's a weird push and pull of being sexually attracted to someone (that you can't get) and trying to show them just how okay you are that all you'll ever have is a platonic love through giving them all of your money and time.

This was called courtly love in the olden days. Which also featured massive plagues.

So I guess we need to find someone to pull a sword out of a rock somewhere.

It was started by incels who thought anyone giving women attention were simpletons

Then it was absorbed into internet "culture" (lol) and became a general term for like, those guys who spend all day in popular female streamers channels giving them all their money

A lot of the reason it's a terrible meme is that the guys involved are thinking like this:

"Since men in society obviously have all the power and control, it is noteworthy for me to loudly and frequently proclaim that this woman controls me". It's sexist as hell, like how it used to be considered "humorous" to show a man and a woman fighting because "obviously" the man would win

Yeah that's why I'm okay with the word. It started out as a generic altright woman hating term but it got repurposed to describe a very real thing that happens that didn't really have a word for it yet.
