Wasn't there some sort of huge wiki editor slapfight about this term that eventually resulted in them refusing to use it (despite it being in multiple mainstream articles)?
Yes. Wiki jannies demanded that anyone who supported its usage provided official sources for the term. Then news publications started picking up on it and IIRC the clincher was that the Austrian military or somebody started calling it that in their public analysis of the war, so the Wiki jannies had to let it go up.
Classic jannies getting BTFO'd by common sense
Same thing happened to Dan Schneider when the jannies refused to mention 'The Creator' allegations on his wiki page
They've banned my entire country (Taiwan) from editing for at least the last six years. IP range ban, ostensibly to block some guy from Japan, but it's funny how it is actually covering every IP range assigned to Taiwan's main ISP (Hinet).
Really it's the only ISP, since the other two just lease from Hinet, which was originally the government monopoly telecom.
"Cope cage" caught on from here so quickly in the wider internet that it became the widely-recognized term, as such, basically official. I was pulling for "cuck cage" myself.
>PrepHole named an actual bit of kit
We should be proud.
this term found its way into mainstream media, I was surprised to see some US official using this exact term

UK's Minister of Defense using the term. It's official
British Defence Minister used it in an official speech so wikipedia autists had to recognise it as an accepted term after spending weeks reverting edits that called them cope cages
Wait, are we that powerful? Did all the glowies working here spread the term for fun?
"On November 27th, 2021, an image of a Russian tank with slat armor was posted to /r/NonCredibleDefense by Redditor POD-8 who received over 280 likes in 3 months. In the comment section of the post, a since-deleted Redditor commented, "Cope cage?" earning 11 upvotes in three months.[10] The comment (shown below) is the first known use of the term."
PrepHole is over represented in the internet meme culture. A successful meme that starts here spreads quickly. This is part of the reason for a lot of shill/bot/paid posters because they want to influence this part of the internet because it has a outsized influence on the rest.
I remember when mandalore made the PrepHole after the shazbowl video. I remember. That shit was glorious, Redditors who were an actual team vs randoms from PrepHole, made up of a furry, a Brazilian, some dude with bad ping.
>The Reddit team actually trained in advance and took it super serious >The PrepHole team just threw some shit together about a half-hour beforehand
Fricking glorious.
>The Reddit team actually trained in advance and took it super serious >The PrepHole team just threw some shit together about a half-hour beforehand
Fricking glorious.
I remember a TF2 match back in like 2010 where an amateur PrepHole team was absolutely wrecking a pro reddit team, and the redditors were whining about it in chat.
One of the top PrepHole guys said "you're just mad you lost a video game Black person" and the thousands of redditors watching the stream mass reported him and he got banned.
This was the beginning of the hatred between the two tribes.
>Did all the glowies working here spread the term for fun?
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the glowies that are assigned here had their fun shitposting as well.

That is just the proper technical term.

They’re pretty strict on Bio pages because Wikipedia can get sued over poorly sourced claims. The milhis page overlords are just spergs
Every time I check a Wikipedia discussion page I get cancer. I hate wiki jannies so goddamn much

yes theres a reason msm hates 4chins
Why do you think the Russians are trying so hard to shill the board?
He who controls the 4chin controls the world.
m8, PrepHole is a cultural powerhouse.
Meme magic.
Via Reddit. Think of PrepHole as the toilet and Reddit as the sewage processing plant.
That's a very good comparison and I'm going to use it from now on.
Go back
See picrelated
This is an ancient meme, and yet somehow still true
Words are powerful.
Good words, terms, or phrases will be copied and used.
Cope cage was a good term.

No, but Reddit is

Time to update the memes page then
Let them have it, otherwise the term will fall out of use as le evil Nazi 4chain white nationalist terminology. Its funnier this way.
PrepHole is over represented in the internet meme culture. A successful meme that starts here spreads quickly. This is part of the reason for a lot of shill/bot/paid posters because they want to influence this part of the internet because it has a outsized influence on the rest.
PrepHole used to be that, it's been severely outdone for years by Twitter, with Twitter memes and even lingo becoming common on this site.
Yeah that’s because we are on twitter also
You think your typical twitter user, notorious for being hivemind bugs, can create what gets popular there?
I see a lot of PrepHole memes on twitter, including from quite serious people. There are some pretty well qualified anons amongst us bros.
I remember that cope cage term being used on /k/ first
>DA GLOWIES
>Wait, are we that powerful?
Yes. Yes, we are that powerful. But, the rest of the world can never know. We must remain anon.
Basically Reddit takes PrepHole memes and makes them mainstream. A tale as old as time.
Reddit can steal our memes, but they can never steal our flag.
Shazbowl, neva 4 get

We're kind of a big deal around here.

UK's Minister of Defense using the term. It's official
BIG BEN WALLACE
Frick I love being British
British Defence Minister used it in an official speech so wikipedia autists had to recognise it as an accepted term after spending weeks reverting edits that called them cope cages
the official term is actually 'cuck cage' so we've had to settle with 'cope cage'
Me
Anon it was added literally near the start of the war
Literally this guy, I gave him some articles to use as citations for this wiki page too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Benlisquare
Cope cage originated on reddit, not /k/.
/k/ope harder homosexuals.
B-but I thought /k/ is Reddit!? Zisters, are we wrong?
>t. redditor
Cope cage was literally used in an official British Intel broadcast, it's a real term now
This was a thing even in the first week of the invasion
TPTB actually love PrepHole when we're not pretending to be rarted
>pretending to be rarted
I don't think we need to pretend.
It's nice when a notable source backs a meme up so it can be added to the wikipedia.
It's been there for months.
You know you can literally go over the edit history to find when that line was added, right?
