what r ur thoughts on Harry being a simp
Well, Iām glad I got this ask, because on the off-chance this isnāt trolling, Iām actually really uncomfortable with the word āsimp.ā It might be a cool buzzword, but I find its origins incredibly sexist. If youāre unfamiliar with the original acronym, do yourself a favor and look it up. Itās just flat-out disgusting and degrading.
And yes, Iāve heard claims the intent of āsimpā has somehow changed and no longer reflects the original acronym. I have two major problems with this claim. First, trying to tell me āI just donāt understandā that an offensive word is no longer offensive is reminiscent of my middle school experience, when it was the height of cool to use āgayā as a synonym for anything negative. When I voiced my objections to that at age 13, I was told almost the same thing: I ājust didnāt understandā that āgayā didnāt really mean gay. Today, everyone seems to have a better understanding that āgayā absolutely meant gay all along; it was just cool, somehow, to equate being gay to being lesser.
Second of all, if weāre assuming the acronym no longer applies... is it really a good thing to go with the second definition of āsimpā meaning āsimpletonā? Is that a great thing to call someone? Cause it feels a bit ableist, and Iām not a fan.
So. If you mean āsimpā as a synonym for an MRA, please use that term instead... but if youāre asking me to mock a man who dares to show affection for a woman and reject traditional gender norms, please look somewhere else for that nonsense. Thanks.
