simps

Overly devoted suitors

Simps is the plural of simp, internet slang for someone who shows excessive devotion to another person, typically a man fawning over a woman who shows no romantic interest in return.

The word implies desperate, one-sided attention: The streamer's simps donate hundreds of dollars just to get her to read their names.

Originally from "simpleton," the term gained currency in online communities where parasocial relationships flourish.
