In the /r/NonCredibleDefense subreddit, it's been called the "cope cage" among other similar mocking terms.

I'll submit another: TheChieftan on YouTube has referred to it as "emotional support armor".

He posted a good video on his views (and cautions!) on some of this subject matter to date: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9pVEP0AzZ4
