Note: For this post, I am referring to "simp" by its proper definition: a guy who thirsts over girls heavily and thinks the way to their hearts is to shower them with kindness and attention and submit all agency to them. In red-pill terms, hardcore betas. Often obsessive.

One thing I think about a lot is how "simps" are not actually good for the dating pool at all. They increase the scarcity of desirable partners for women, and are likely to become hardcore misogynists after enough rejection. I suppose their existence benefits other men somewhat, by reducing competition.

But one sector who stands to benefit heavily from the proliferation of simps is the sector of women who provide men fake attention in exchange for money. Right now, that's mainly OnlyFans creators and Twitch streamers. These are not fundamentally new avenues in concept but they are very mainstream compared to similar things of the past like phone sex lines and private camgirls.

Twitch recently banned usage of the word "simp". It's hard to see something like that and not feel that they are trying to normalize the behavior by preventing its ridicule.

As a purple-pill man, I don't see any reason why we should encourage simp behavior, just as we shouldn't encourage the opposite end of the spectrum, treating women like shit. It's not healthy in the slightest. So it's worrisome to me that it's becoming so normalized.
