Why Are So Many Discord Users Suspected To Be Part Of An Online Terrorist Organization?

Discord users are doing a little trolling right now with a copypasta designed to make themselves look like online terrorists. The "Discord user is suspected to be part of an online terrorist organization copypasta" has been going viral for over a month now and is tricking people across the platform, starting something of a trolling movement among the app's users. Here's how it started and how you can get in on the fun.

What Is The 'Discord User Is A Suspected Terrorist' Meme?

Essentially, the "suspected terrorist" copypasta is pasted as a user's "custom status" to try and make other users think they're a suspected terrorist. The copypasta begins with a "🛈" symbol to make it seem like a legitimate warning before detailing how the user is under suspicion of being part of an online terrorist organization. It's a simple prank with confusing intentions behind it (why would you want people to think you're a terrorist?) but regardless, it's become increasingly popular over the past few months.

It's not really clear when the "Discord user is a terrorist" copypasta was first used. The earliest video to document its use was uploaded to TikTok in December 2022, but it was likely used before this. The video showcasing the user with the copypasta went viral and inspired others, spreading it to a whole new group of people willing and eager to label themselves as terrorists as well.

How Do I Use The 'Discord Terrorist' Copypasta?

It's easy to use the copypasta yourself if you're looking to prank your friends on Discord. First, go to your Discord profile by clicking on your username in the bottom left corner of the app. You'll see a prompt that reads "Set Custom Status." Copy and paste the text below, click on the "Set Custom Status" box and paste it into the text field. You'll now be labeled as a potential terrorist for all your e-friends to see!
