(Internet slang, originally, 4chan) A metaphorical opiate taken in order to cope with a loss or disillusionment, often leading to one becoming detached from reality and in denial of their situation.

Semantically related
- copioid72%
(slang, rare, humorous) Copium; a proverbial drug representing a state of coping.
- Copium tank70%
Imaginary tank that copium-huffing chatters draw from when refusing to accept a bad outcome. 'The copium tank is full' = chat is in heavy denial. 'Tank's empty' = even the most delusional fans have given up. Visual riffs and emote variants exist on most large channels.
- Hopium62%
Portmanteau of 'hope' and 'opium'. Used to describe irrationally high hope in a situation that probably won't pan out — chat insisting the streamer will clutch a doomed game, fans believing in a 1% drop chance, traders convinced a coin will rebound. The companion concept to 'copium': copium is denying a loss has happened, hopium is denying it's coming.
- Copege61%
A blend of 'cope' and 'Sadge': a Pepe drying his tears with a tissue. Used to mock chat or the streamer for refusing to accept a bad outcome ('you're coping'). Sits between 'Copium' and 'Sadge' tonally: the user is acknowledging the loss while still pretending it's fine. Often paired with 'Hopege' for full emotional sequence.
