Imo "Pick-me" is a lovely term and pretty sexist itself. Almost every instance seems to be "women who aren't liberal enough/don't believe what I think they should."

If you're a woman jorp fan you have entirely different problems other then being a "Pick-me."

FYI it gets used for guys pretty much as often. It just means someone in the comments trying to get attention from the OP or other users. lovely yes, inherently sexist probably not.

I've only ever heard it used derisively for "not like other girls" girls who only exist to seek out men's attention, like suggesting a woman can only be interested in motorcycles or video games or whatever because she's hoping to land a boyfriend, which is a pretty drat sexist idea.

The concept you're describing sounds more like a Reply Guy to me.

I never turn on my mic in games because by and large the unquenchable thirst of gamers as soon as they hear a woman's voice in chat is ridiculous. Then there's the guys who will condescendingly try to teach me how to play the game as if I haven't also been gaming since I was a child.

None of my friends that game advertise it because of how utterly toxic the community is around women.

Edit: the idea that some lady would game to pick up men is pretty sad and hilarious to me given what it's like for women and girls that game.

No, a Pick-Me is a woman or girl who specifically denigrates other women and girls in a bid for male attention and approval. They're the unpleasant girls who insist that they're not like other girls and aren't into shallow bitch stuff like them, I'm cool and like guy stuff like video games and I hate the mall (except if you guys are going)

They 're the high school girls that other girls don't talk to because they (the pick-me's) are just bitches; even the less "girly" girls like student athletes and weirdos don't like pick-me's

Pick me girl where I am just means girls who are “not like other girls”. Usually meaning they wear Jean jackets and hang out with boys in bad bands exclusively. It seems mostly used by other women to trash them. It also almost always feels like projection a little.

It could be fresh enough that we could all be right and it just means different things in different places though.

I think you're right that it means different things, cuz where I am and where I've heard it used, it refers specifically to women who don't like other women and do stuff like be nasty or even aggressive to other women and trash them to men, and make not getting with other women and a point of pride.

Pick me girls are basically what happens when you cross NLOGs and Nice Guys. Here's a good video about the whole thing

Like about 90% of our new memes and language, it was a Black thing for a million years and then all of a sudden white people yoinked it without fully understanding the context, so, much like Karen before it, it has been stretched into "Woman I don't like."

I'm reminded of that one 'feminist' who said that girls are only supporting Bernie Sanders to impress boys.

That said, 'Pick-me' I've seen used to refer to not just women; can be minorities/oppressed people in general who try to get the approval of bigots for whatever brokebrained reason, either respectability politics poisoning or just wanting to be 'one of the good ones' and gain power over others.

Didn't he make a similar "point" before, that people who are hospitalized are more likely to die than people who aren't? And then claimed it's because doctors are killing people? Instead of, ya know, people are hospitalized BECAUSE they're at a greater risk of permanent health problems/death?
