there are good copes and there are bad copes, good copes harm nobody else, does not separate one from reality or self awareness (but can offer a temporary escape from it).
Bad copes are copes that rely on putting others down, diminishing others, particularly other incels. Copes like the oppression olypmic mentality, everyone has to have it worse than everyone else so they can call everyone else a volcel, as if they are the only legit incel on the face of the earth and everyone else's struggles either are apparently non-existent, or their own fault (which is the same shit we hear from the IT crowd). Usually comes from low IQ idiots who failed to reach mental puberty.
