# Tacoma Wept Tacoma Wept is a catchphrase from an April 2020 Vaush stream, in which the Twitch streamer claimed the women of Tacoma, Washington mourned when he deleted Tinder during COVID quarantine. The line spread as copypasta on Reddit and X before resurging in February 2024, when H3 Podcast reacted to it during coverage of Vaush's leaked explicit content folder. ## Origin On April 9, 2020, Twitch streamer Vaush uploaded a stream VOD to YouTube in which, around the 2:15:00 mark, he read on-screen a comment from the TrueAnon Podcast X account[1]. The account had written, "I will give you $5,000 if you can get some poon tang before January 1st." Vaush responded, "Do you have any idea who the fuck you're talking to? When I got off Tinder because of the fucking quarantine, Tacoma wept"[3]. The VOD was later unlisted but drew more than 22,000 views across four years, with viewers calling the delivery cringe[3]. - **Platform:** YouTube (Vaush stream VOD) / Reddit and X (viral spread) - **Creator:** Vaush - **Date:** 2020 ## Overview The quote comes from Vaush's reply to the TrueAnon Podcast X account, which had offered him $5,000 if he could sleep with anyone before January 1st[1]. His mock-dramatic answer, that "Tacoma wept" when he logged off Tinder, treats a dating app deletion as a civic tragedy for every woman in his home city[2]. Online use of the phrase runs mostly through copypasta of the full exchange on r/copypasta[4] and on Vaush fan subreddit r/okbuddyvowsh, where posters mocked his bravado with image macros of the quote[5]. H3 Podcast fans later adopted the line as a general-purpose caption after Ethan Klein's crew covered the clip, applying it to unrelated absurd photos such as Klein in a horse costume[7]. ## How to Use Posters typically pair the phrase with an exaggerated claim of personal appeal or desirability, often as a caption on a self-deprecating or absurd image. A common convention is to quote the entire TrueAnon exchange as copypasta, or to drop the two words alone beneath a photo in H3 Podcast and Vaush fan communities. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Tacoma Wept?
