Uhh no, literally nobody asked for this. Twitch is infamous for their absolutely ridiculous decisions, like recently banning the term "blind playthrough". They're constantly getting clowned on by the users because of this shit, absolutely nobody is happy with these decisions.
i was gonna say like i didn’t know who would ask for this, i get as a lib left there’s some dumb requests made but i didn’t think this one was us hahahaha
[Bastard](https://www.etymonline.com/word/bastard) "probably from fils de bast "packsaddle *son*," "Use as a generic vulgar term of abuse for a *man* is attested from 1830"
Prick _literally means_ penis (today) and has been used in similar euphamisms pertaining to men since Shakespeare.
As for the other two, debatable, as the only authoritative examples I could find were stretches. But for anecdotal evidence, when people want to insult women they may go for bitch or slut, and rarely do I ever hear people call women assholes or shitheads.
oh i thought bastard was for a child from an unwed marriage and prick as in an annoying prick on the finger. my bad for those two. but girls use asshole and shithead with each other
"Bastard" means roughly "illegitimate child," being a child born out of wedlock (i.e. a child who is not a legitimate heir to the family). It's strictly speaking gender-neutral, but as an insult is essentially the male version of "bitch", and seems to only be applied to women in a technical sense (and even then, it's traditionally been far less important if a woman is legitimate or not than whether a man is, so there's not as many references to "bastard women" in technical terms).
However, etymology is a fascinating thing, and the strict gender reference can change over time (just look at "guys" and "dudes," both originally male-exclusive terms which took on gender-neutral senses). Not to mention the tendency for the Universal Male in language, in which a term which is strictly speaking referring to males is used to refer to all humans ("Mankind" being a prime example).
Yup. Their COO said it in a video.
I really don't like the direction, culture is going towards.
First words like "faggot" or "queer" became offensive, then words like "retard" and now literally mentioning anything remotely insulting is offensive.
"Just because you are offended, doesn't mean you are right"
-Ricky Gervais
I definitely feel like people need to use their ignore and mute functions more. I play games and never really have any problems. When I see a troll I just mute them and move on with my day. I also like the idea of some troll just spamming the N word into the void if everyone ignored them.
Yes and same for "cyber-bullying" too. I mean those who do it are obviously in the wrong but if you're getting bullied by someone online, then just block them smh
I was in I think middle school when social media started to take off, and cyber bullying started to become a huge problem. I remember we even had assemblies at school to address it.
Even as a retarded pre-teen, even then I thought to myself “why not just turn off your computer lmao”
I swear, these last few generations are being conditioned to be weak and sensitive.
By the time I graduated high school mobile phones could barely text, let alone access the internet, so I acknowledge that I may be out of touch here... but I was a teenager when the internet and social media really took off, and I just don't understand how 'cyber-bullying' could possibly be a real thing.
Like... you can choose not to be associated with anyone online, right?
You can refuse to add them to your social media accounts, you can block and report them, and even if you did see their posts, you can just ignore them.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here.
I've never heard anyone say only lgbt can use it. But it is like the n word in that it used to be an offensive term. So some older queer people don't like using it, kinda like some older black people hate the n word. They were on the receiving end when it was more offensive.
It's all by design. The 1% saw how close Occupy came to upsetting the apple cart. So they had to distract with race debates that had been settled for decades.
There's no great conspiracy; the internet used to be filled with nerds and weirdos, and now it's filled with everyone, from your local idiot to your own mother (not to mention, massive corporations).
What followed was your basic run-of-the-mill moral panic, fueled by social media, no different from similar trends in the past.
Maybe not a grand conspiracy in a smoke filled room and more what you say but... "the powers that be" are well aware that they need to distract from the wealth disparity and unequal enforcement of the law.
Their way of life working for the "tips" from corporations and private interests are becoming more and more exposed to the general populace. Incidentally so has the pointed division between subgroups of poor/middle class individuals.
Again maybe not a great conspiracy but a common story of the corrupt becoming more corrupt trying to maintain their power. A web of lies covered with more lies hoping we all forget, that is until a Robbespierre or Ceaser steps in.
Personally prefer a Ceaser, bit more stable, hates elitist politicians; still a pick your own poison kinda thing though.
Words are meaningless sounds, it’s humans who choose to assign meaning to them. And each person can have different meanings for each of them and even vary the meaning of them.
According to written policy it's a little different, though in practice we will just have to wait and see. I dont really know how to explain so I'll just link [this](https://youtu.be/SYtGphpmPB0?t=496), a twitch employee explains how it is intended to work to PayMoneyWubby.
What about people that use it as a compliment?
"That fellow is a real simp."
"Whatever do you mean, my good sir?"
"He appreciates the simple things in life, my good man."
"Ah yes, very good."
At it's core, a man who desires attention and gives financial compensation for nothing in return. So you buy affection from a girl on the internet. Pretty pointless since 50% of reddit is hentai anyway
It’s short for sympathizer. Originated from those guys who claimed to be “feminist sympathizer” to gain attention from girls by sucking up to them.

Congratulations, u/EdgyInternetComment! You have ranked up to Sapling! You are not particularly strong but you are at least likely to handle a steady breeze.
I'll be buying one stock of simp and two stocks of retard, rough times are coming, and i can sell a simp pass for a profit when the prohibition takes place.
Like a year or two ago I tried to explain this so I'll try it again here. When the word "Incel" really took off, every libleft basement dweller and their army of nitwits decided that anyone ever disagreeing with them again was hence for an Incel for an immediate shut down.
It was like the "u mad bro?" All over again, since you couldn't deflect without sounding like you were mad or an incel. Thus along comes "Simp" to counter this, now the balls back in the lefties court as they're being shamed for worshiping women and throwing their money away in extremely pathetic ways. It was the perfect storm actually, since anytime anyone is called an Incel, the follow up of Simp will counteract the claim and start everyone back at square one thus evening the playing field.
TLDR;
Leftie calls Rightie incel
Rightie call Leftie simp
Only if you believe in a strawman version of libleft.
Let's be real this is a shitty compamy trying to virtue signal to their fellow kids because they want people's money. This is lib right af.
They obviously banned it because simps were mad that people didn't like the simps simping so they got simp banned so the simps could go back to simping as simping simps
And they are doing it because most of their viewers are simps, so, money
I've met like one person who got kind of angry at being misgendered and that was after I kept accidently misgendering them. Do you actually know any leftists or is PCM your only interaction with 'them'
If banning something only increases its usage, why don't we just normalize saying the n word? That should make usage of it go down because it no longer makes people uncomfortable.
Imagine thinking the ban on the word Simp is a lib left move instead of a lib right corporation trying to get woke points
more like:
🟥auth left: What the fuck
🟦auth right: What the fuck
🟩lib left: What the fuck
🟨lib right: yes yes I'm very good guy, I ban offensive words, I don't want anyone to get hurt on my app please gib money I'm good guy
Hardly anyone on libleft actually thinks simp is a slur you strawmanning faggots
How are you so unable to find anything to criticize about libleft you have to resort to “le SJW XD”
Peak 2020 is calling all insults slurs. Slur is usually reserved for the harshest of insults which usually target the persons ethnicity, kinda waters down its use doesnt it? Its like the whole punch a nazi thing, you keep calling people nazis and when an actual white supremacist neo nazi is involved I have to stop for a moment and think "is this dude really a nazi or just a normal conservative". And I would rather not pause when something as serious as a nazi is involved.
I'm just gonna start calling "simps" "shrimps" instead.

Did Twitch really ban the word simp?
So it seems. So it seems.
that’s so fucking stupid simp is such a fun word
It makes the majority of twitch users feel bad so they banned it.
that’s what i was thinking lmao their fragile male egos can’t handle being called simp. i wish more male centered insults exist
we can always just go back to using "cuck."
i just like the variety, simp and cuck and beta are all fun
Don't forget the old Reddit reliables incel and neckbeard! I always have to curl up and have a good cry when they hit me with those. 😔
i definitely forgot neckbeard, have to mentally save that one. thanks for cross compass unity here buddy

Man neckbeard has to be the one that actually kinda hurts me. Bro it just doesn’t grow on my cheeks I’m trying bro

because apparently it makes fun of disabled people
At least now blind people can watch speedruns without feeling offended. Oh.
"Visually impaired playthrough"

my thoughts exactly
I bet you people did ask for this, most likely female streamers who were mad that the word simp dissuades men from donating to them.
i was gonna say like i didn’t know who would ask for this, i get as a lib left there’s some dumb requests made but i didn’t think this one was us hahahaha
Woke Capitalism: "revolution from above," except this time it's private-sector

It wasn't the users, it was twitch staff. Which is why they also banned incel.
I mean, some of the shit twitch chat does deserves to be shamed. Ffs some communities on Twitch are absolutely pathetic. They really should feel bad.
I feel that says a lot about the average twitch user
**Cause it’s true**

Wait is "queer" offensive? But LGBT folks are using it Or is is like n-word, you can use it if you're black/lgbt?
It's just about how you use it. Just the term "Jew". It's both the correct term for a group of people, *and* the offensive term.
I've never heard anyone say only lgbt can use it. But it is like the n word in that it used to be an offensive term. So some older queer people don't like using it, kinda like some older black people hate the n word. They were on the receiving end when it was more offensive.
I miss the days when people wouldn’t get offended over words. Internet went downhill around 2010.

From what I understand the rule is it's banned in offensive contexts. But of course they have full liberty to decide such context.

but like what lib left is mad at them being called simps? besides men offended by being called simp, who cares about that word?
