    I’m not sure what simping is and at this point I’m too afraid to ask.

    It’s a misogynistic/toxically masculine way to talk about men doing nice things for women or being nice to women in a way that the speaker finds cringey or overly submissive

    Yes, this. Also it's worth noting that it's a new use of an older term--"simp"--which just meant "a silly or foolish person."

    So it's not always a tell about the person's cultural/background views, especially if they're older; I remember my mom calling people "simps" when I was growing up, before the internet was even really a thing

    One of the kleankanteens always tells a lie

    is there actually an answer to that "one of us is lying and one of us speaks the truth" puzzle?

    Other than shoot Toby twice.
    In Labyrinth it's "what door would the other guard tell me to use" I think? Presumably then most formulations involving the behaviour of the guard not asked should be able to give a conclusive answer.

    Yeah, and then you take the other door.
    If you're asking the truth-teller, they will honestly tell you that the liar will point to the wrong door
    If you're asking the liar, they will lie and tell you that the truth-teller will point to the wrong door

    But the recent one they announced is... well, I really have thought long and hard about it.

    this is how i imagine it sounds when i talk to someone less online than me

    I think I’m generally pretty good at pitching my delivery to my audience

    Like with work, the roleplaying game I’m in every week, depending on who I’m talking to, is anywhere from a ‘longstanding obligation from 6-10PM’, to ‘weekly game night’ to ‘a roleplaying game; you know like dungeons and dragons?’ to a twenty minute conversation I just had with my data science bro cause he was asking a bunch of questions about it and had played some roleplaying games a while ago etc

    Generally I can do that with more niche internet shit too but I was surprised by lack of knowledge on Rowling; that seemed like more general knowledge (but maybe only if you know a lot of gay people)

    Is the simp the target of derision or as Cred implies the derision belongs to people who deem others simps?

    It super depends imo
    Sometimes a man’s behavior towards a woman is legitimately cringe so in that case I mean…he’s the target of derision

    But if someone was to say data science bro is simping for driving his gf to the airport early in the morning (which was the context here), the person making the accusation would be the target of derision

    The data science bro was also like ‘well that’s fine, I love it when [gf name] steps on my testicles and crushes them’ and the other two of us are like dude, please no ;_; (younger data science bro is a class clown type but that means he will say extremely inappropriate shit sometimes)

    Thank you all for your advice re the pride thing

    The event is in just a couple weeks so probably I’ll go to other events in other cities. Then I’ll see about getting involved here and figuring out why a more conventional event wasn’t attempted here

    Depends.

    Because it has a lot of mysogenistic users, but there is certainly a very real phenomenon/behavior it describes.

    Examples (as someone who played WoW for nearly a decade)

    "My GF needs me to do *minor chore*"
    "WTF You simp"
    -The user

    Female Player: "I need to go farm some minerals to levle up my crafting"
    Male Player(Often several at once): "Ohh Ill go to zone, and farm nodes with you"
    FP:" Thanks, but don't you have an exam in the morning"
    MP "Ohh yeah, but its cool I'd much rather farm fake minerals for you till 4AM, than not fail out of college"
    "Fucking Simp"
    -The target

    I didn't know about simp.

    I dunno it seems dumb like some kinda ladder theory (2006) and/or "cuck" (2016) shit to me.

    I explained Crab Fab to my colleague a few weeks ago.

    My wife has a print of Crab Fab hanging in her work office.

    I didnt have to explain Whomp or Ronnie to her, she got it first read.

    Edit - it spoke to her.

    We have an ESL guy on our team and the only time he gets really brave enough to do a pop culture joke on Teams is when he's responding to the other ESL guy and I swear to Christ it's like watching a chatbot become self aware.
