Seriously, why is "simp" considered an insult?
It's just a word...IMO.

The n-word is just a word

maybe 'simp' is short for simpleton?

Someone threatens to murder your family? Just words!
Calling someone "simp" doesn't imply impending extreme violence. If anything, it's imploring them to self-improve (albeit in a callous, hurtful (OOOHHH!) manner.)

It's got nothing to do with self-improvement. It's just a baseless insult on someone you don't even know. The next person you call simp could be a super hot chick and you wouldn't even know.
It's such an overused word that doesn't carry much weight, that it's something one should just ignore. It's like getting called "noob". Meh. :narcissu04:
its meaningless drivel
There is one person that I readily admit that I’m a simp for. If she’s going to live rent free in my head; why not give her the run of the place.

being called desperate for women is nothing short of insulting

Is that what it means?

I'm simp.
It's an insult for the one using it himself/herself. :lunar2019deadpanpig:

As far as I know it refers to men who are so in awe towards women and also desperate that they will let women do anything to them, no matter how bad it is, hoping to get laid that way.
If letting your balls throw the rest of yourself in the trash like that is not insulting I don't know what it could be.
That's what it means? That's it?
Really just sounds like a more pathetic, cringe version of a cvck, if that's possible. Idiots bandying it about as an all-purpose smear doesn't change that.

Construct actually.
Short answer: people are, generally, foul & they'll turn anything into an insult.
...for me it reflects more negatively on the person using it. ...
This, right here, I can agree with.

For that reason, I generally put the onus to improve a situation on the person [claiming to be] getting offended since it's very immature to think that the entire world should change for you [just because you said... or worse, "felt", it should be so].
Keep in mind, though, that some people are insulted by things that are subjects of sensitivity (past trauma) and learning not to be insulting is part of becoming a more empathetic, and sympathetic, person who isn't insensitive to others.



More detailed [and meaningful] answer:

This is a difficult topic to answer effectively without discussing discrimination, which technically the forum guidelines disallow - however, your question, OP, seems well-intentioned & agree with the principle behind it that - a whole new set of words that promote discrimination and are essentially derogatory terms have cropped up within the last year or so.

Moreover, platforms are doing nothing to censor these new terms and the public is just socially accepting them as if swapping any currently censored derogatory term for a woman with a 4 letter acronym (among other things) isn't JUST as offensive and promoting of hate, as the traditional swear-words.

A couple [of these "new" bad words] that I think I can mention here are the current usage of Chad and Karen... they're just names on their own, (similarly to ♥♥♥♥), however, a filter could be implemented for even them as they are usually formatted with "a" in front of them when used in a derogatory manner, "a Chad", "a Karen".

I find it disgusting that people just go along with this as if it were just a meme or something - because these are actual names, that real people have, that are being soiled and people aren't bad people because of what they're named... but rather... people are bad people because of bad choices they choose to make. A LOT of people have forgotten this.

Just a word?

What is considered an insult to you?

All other insults are words as well.
Crazy how that works. :2018salienbeast1:
Here's some food for thought, folks.

Hand signs can be considered offensive insults and they're not words.

Some people consider the US Confederate flag an insult.
I personally don't take offense to that one but some people do & I can see why - however... it's not a word.


Without getting into specifics, phrases can be insults too, where none of the individual words would have been an insult, on their own, but together, only as a phrase does an insult exist.

There's one phrase that I really dislike for a variety of reasons, that I won't get into here, that I've mostly just started to shrug off because it's so over overused that it's basically a meme and well... memes will be memes! :coconutlaugh:

Again, let's remember that profoundly wise take from user:ƤŁȺᎢiƝՄM ȺƝGԐᏞุ :
...for me it reflects more negatively on the person using it. ...

Sometimes an insult is an action, such as placing someone sufficiently incompetent into a leadership position, especially when they're appointed rather than voted in - this could have been done by your boss' boss as a corporate matter instead of being a political matter.
You might not be offended by the person or their name but the very act of appointing them to that position may offend, quite highly.

If you were a museum manager and you placed the bones from your chicken dinner on display, most patrons would be insulted by that. (Some would be so clueless as to actually ask what kind of creature it was.)

That goes for actions in general too.

If you always kept premium products, in the open, next to knock-off brands [in your house] and fed / provided yourself the premium products while feeding / providing your guests the knock-offs, right in-front of them, they'd get the message.
It isn't the brand name itself that's an insult to them (unless that brand is truly offensive) but rather the fact that you're treating them differently - more specifically by giving them an inferior item to yourself and going out of your way to make sure that they SEE you doing this.

I should also mention that this isn't always intentional by someone. Sometimes a well-meaning person just doesn't realize that the guest-speaker or accessory they just bought & are so proud of has some negative association with it, that, possibly is less commonly known & maybe only you were familiar with; they just thought it looked or sounded cool.

Also, people who feel the need to be moral-enforcers of insults are [typically] relentless (and frankly they, themselves, are also insults); if you made an honest mistake, do yourself a favor, if you don't owe them for damages then don't apologize - my post on [the problems with] saying sorry:

So, no... not all insults to people are words, @user: Dxpress.
Hope that answers your question, @user: Sixtyfivekills.

Any word now days the way the SJW hate mob is behaving. "Karen" is now a bad word!
