Wearing a cape

The act of pretending to be a 'hero' and a good person by 'helping' people (usually spreading awareness online and guilt-tripping people into donating) and expecting others to agree with your ideologies instead of helping out of the goodness of your heart without expecting anything back. In other words, performative activism.

1: "You're a terrible person for not donating and spreading awareness!"
2: "Have fun wearing a cape"

Caped on the net

“Caped on the net” means someone is lying or exaggerating online, often trying to make themselves look better or seem more important than they actually are. It’s similar to “capping” but specifically refers to online behavior.

1. “Dude said he owns three Lambos, but we all know he caped on the net.”
2. “She be caped on the net talking about she met Drake, but ain’t got no proof.”
