>>71806693It's not quite the same. Simps are embarrassing but harmless and the term mostly just existed for guys to shit on each other for pathetic behaviour. The term was short-lived because it was just a way for guys to be mean to each other, and that dimension is constantly evolving.
Pickmes are the crabs clambering to get to the top of the bucket. They aren't just trying too hard for male attention, they're being actively shitty to other women out of some misguided sense of competition. It's a useful term because women can use it to identify women that actively shit up female spaces or gatekeep coed ones. Plus the girls that are usually that desperate for attention usually just want validation for being a GRRL and being pretty or whatever, and are overtly hostile to other women that earn recognition by being talented, hardworking, qualified, etc. Porn, cosplay and other internet modelling subcultures are absolutely infested with the most vitriolic and menhera pickme girls and unfortunately the venn diagram of those groups and vtubing is a fucking circle so anyone coming in here because they like idols or games or vocaloid music (or pussy) has to be prepared to contend with this bullshit.
