The entire idea behind it is being kind to women is weakness.

This is my understanding. Simps are nice to women. Non-simps (chads?) treat women badly and get all the women.
Important note: I am almost 50 and everything I know about this subject is from TikTok, and TikTok seems to think Iām a lesbian.

It sounds like ābeing nice to womenā is a necessary for not sufficient trait to be a āsimp.ā
I mean, would anyone call a normal man with a girlfriend a āsimpā because he treats her well?
What if I told you guys pvnās kid was being tongue-in-cheek?
being nice to women can get you called a simp for sure but the real correct usage of the term in my opinion is to describe a guy giving excess attention/resources/etc to women who are not reciprocating at all and they usually have absolutely no chance with.
these same types of guys tend to be incel-ish and have ānice guyā syndrome where they think the most basic ass human kindness deserves a blowjob on the spot, so im sorta fine with the term

As I understand it, a simp is not just kind to a woman, but fawningly subservient to her, a beta male who treats a female as the alpha.

thereās a kind of startling generational divide between people in their mid 30ās and even like 25 year olds. doesnāt seem like there would be but people my age had childhoods without being constantly plugged into a device and social media and the internet, if youāre <25 you have absolutely no recollection of a world like this.
iām so boomer that until yesterday i thought āongā was just a typo of āomgā but it is short for āon godā (no cap)

Iām younger than most here but I have no idea what all this stupid lingo means
I think dlk9s and LFS both have kids in the right age range to be tuned into this type of stuff.
Mine arenāt quite there yet, but my son has taken to calling everything sus.
Making a show about blockbuster in 2022 is a fine idea. Setting it in 2022 is insane.
Could have been a fun 90s or 00s nostalgia show
āSimpā is like ācuckā or ābetaā ā there are neutral ways to use these terms, but they are primarily used by incels and communities dominated by toxic masculinity. A young man using āsimpā isnāt a reason to call CPS, but it would be a great conversation starter for a parent to talk to their kid about how certain terms have multiple meanings and we can sometimes be taken to mean things that we donāt intend when using terms with ambiguous connotations.

ācuckā and ābetaā maybe, but simp is extremely mainstream

Set aside the empirical claim regarding how often and by who the term is used more often. Maybe youāre right or maybe Iām right, but itās irrelevant to the larger point.
As this very thread demonstrates, there is some significant set of people that believe āsimpā is primarily used by incels and misogynists so when a young man says āsimpā and means [pvnās definition], what his audience will hear some significant amount of the time is [cassetteās definition]. He means something benign but communicates something repugnant.
My point is that this miscommunication is regrettable rather than cute or funny.
