hey hey hiya, can someone explain how copinglink came about? Like the term, not the people.
Basically a definition I guess, like, why is it coping /link/ if that makes sense.
I came up with the term around 6 months ago. It was/is meant to replace “copingkin” (as in, people who knowingly created coping mechanisms identifying with/as something, so I suppose there’s your definition) as “copingkin” implies some form of otherkin, which…it isn’t. The coping part is meant to signify the coping mechanism, obviously, and the “link” part is just meant to show an association and connection between the person and whatever their created mechanism ties them to.
