The 'Cope, Seethe, Mald' trifecta is a popular slang sequence used to dismiss and mock an opponent's frustration in online debates. 'Cope' suggests someone is struggling to accept a difficult reality, 'seethe' describes a state of intense suppressed anger, and 'mald'—a portmanteau of 'mad' and 'bald'—originated in Twitch gaming circles to describe gamers who get so angry they lose their hair. Together, these terms evolved on platforms like 4chan, Twitch, and X (Twitter) as a rhythmic escalation of insults. The meme is typically used to reply to angry comments, implying that the person's emotional reaction is both visible and futile, effectively ending the argument by focusing on the adversary's perceived emotional breakdown.
