    In this context I believe it was short for simpleton.

      Which is an old use of “simp,” far predating the modern online slang. “Simp” short for “simpleton” was being thrown around school playgrounds in the early 1980s to my knowledge, maybe earlier than that.

      Isn’t that the modern meaning of it as well? You’d have to be a simpleton to donate money to a titty streamer.

        I’ve heard that it stands for “Sadly Idolising Mediocre Pussy” but that could be something that was coined after it started being used to describe internet simps.
