Cope The word "cope" is misused here, it's losing its meaning.

[Personalityinkwell]

I've noticed a couple times whenever says something and another person disagrees with it, the response is "cope".

For example, I said Scott Beierle was better looking than ER, someone said "cope".

I said some reddit story was a LARP, and someone said "cope"

(that's what I can think of right now, although it's been used in situations it shouldn't have been)

A cope is supposed to be a denial of an uncomfortable truth, not some difference of opinion. Is there a consensus upon the proper usage of that word, or is it just randomly thrown around?

The definition of words is still a bunch of words, ad infinitum, only use can be real

 

[Personalityinkwell]

Explain

A word has meaning by definition. the definition of 'definition' is the meaning, duh!

They mean to evoke the emotional reaction the word produces without checking if the definition applies. Bureaucrats tbh

People learn words by usage, usually not reading definitions, so wouldnt suprise me some people dont know the actual definition

Idk I feel like in both of the exmaples you mention the word is used correctly

If you believe into something thats false then you gotta be coping, theres no other explanation, its a high T way of letting someone know that you think their opinion is just that and that theyre delusional

 

[Angry_runt]

It annoys me too, they think "cope" means "you're wrong". Which it does, but only when your misconception serves to make you feel better.

Cope is saying "foids aren't slutty, only a small amount are". The reason it's a cope is because we as incels don't like to hear about foids slutting with Chad when we're left out of sex.

In the case of me saying Yogacel mogged ER, why would that be cope? Why would I be upset if ER mogged yogacel?

With all the people being banned for "low effort," I hope some of them are the low-IQ retards who just spam "cope" as a response to everything. Aside from bluepilled cucks, no one deserves a ban more than them.

This is cope 99% of the time. People can't handle reality so they cope by claiming it's fake.

[anon]

I do, but I don't like how some copers like you call everything larp because you can't handle it.

 

[FinnCel]

It can mean instead of realizing you are a subhuman, you are thinking of something else to numb the pain. Thus, you are coping

I don't call everything a larp, just some things

 

[Personalityinkwell]

I remember way back when "cope" was short form for "coping mechanism", i.e. something positive you use to cope like hobbies or things you tell yourself.

That's how it should be used. But people say it when it's something that they don't agree with.

 

[Personalityinkwell]

They use "soy" in much the same way.

Yeah that's very true too. When do you think "soy" should be used?

 

[Personalityinkwell]

Specifically to refer to whiteknighting, male feminists, #MeToo bullshit, and all that kind of shit. Not anything Nintendo or anything people just don't like.

What about guys who talk about romantic puppy love with foids. ASS_F vents about wanting a girlfriend and people call him soy, accurate?
