I don't know where it actually originated, but the point is that up until the last patch, there was a large segment of players that complained that the Falcon, a Caldari recon ship with a special bonus to ECM (jamming) was hugely overpowered. I suspect at some point someone concluded that he lost a particular PVP engagement, where he expected to have been a favorite, because a Falcon came in a vastly changed the odds of the fight.
So he lost.. 'because of falcon'... :)

The devs have also recently had 'because of Falcon' appear in several sets of patch notes to explain some bugs. |

Sounds like how the old "Good Times" virus hoax turned into a joke.
There was a chain e-mail that went around a couple of decades ago warning people not to open any messages with the words "Good Times" in the title. Since this was early on - a lot of well meaning people passed the message along - complete with the warning to share it with all their friends lest they be victimized. The problem was everyone was e-mailing this thing to everyone else and some of these older e-mail servers had problems with the load. So, while there was no "Good Times" virus - the hoax itself became a problem.
After a while, it became a joke around the tech shops that if something went wrong, even something non-technical, "Good Times" did it.
"Good Times" made the milk go bad in my refrigerator.
"Good Times" loosened the plug on my oil pan and let all the oil out.
"Good Times" ate my baby.
Of course the tech people all knew that "Good Times" didn't exist except as a chain email hoax. So it was just a joke.

There were so many people whining about Falcons being overpowered that anything that's gone wrong recently must have been caused by Falcons. ______________________ Isn't it time you learned to fight back? Agony Unleashed Home of the PvP University.

Previously, Falcons were rather overpowered.
Example: A battleship fleet I was in was able to destroy a hostile BS group with only 1 loss.
Because we brought 3 Falcons, each of which was laying a permajam on 2-3 hostile BS'es. Roughly half the hostile fleet was promptly neutralized. ----------------------------------------------

Even though the statement might have originated before the thread, there was a very sizable thread entitled "BECAUSE OF FALCON" or some such, and everyone who posted in it made some post unrelated or tangentially related to Eve gameplay, and added "because of falcon" at the end of the sentence. You can probably find this on Eve-Search pretty quick.

This started from a conversation we had with a chap in Club Bear's public channel.
He stated in fantastic English that the Oneiros was better than a Guardian, because of Falcon. Which firstly is nonsense. After we laughed for a while, we came to realise that everything bad in Eve was Because of Falcon and decided to creat a Meme from it to stretch into real life :).
So there you go...

I think it has to do with that patch that CCP released and then rolled back as the biggest fail patch ever. Under this patch, activating cloaking device would immediately deactivate all active modules, including ECM and mwd. In patch notes it said this change was primarily made to disable Falcons jamming then cloaking right away while their ECM modules ran their full cycle (so, because of Falcon). What happened though is that it enabled dreadnoughts and battleships to insta-warp because it also deactivated a running mwd.
