    4chan/Incel culture has co-opted “cuckolding” from a consensual kink to mean just plain old getting cheated on.

      Kink culture has co-opted it from plain old getting cheated on to a consensual kink.

      So you really think the fetish came first? Because the word predates the modern fetish usage by like 800 years.

      It comes from the cuckoo bird, which engages in nest parasitism. It lays its eggs in another bird’s nest to be raised by birds that aren’t its parents.

      …if you’re not going to do anything about it, i.e. sick there and watch it happen, that’s the definition of cuckoldry

      Ugh, another “literally”. Fuck that, let’s not validate incel nonsense.

    Cuckolding doesn’t imply consent. In fact it pretty specifically implies that the man doesn’t know it. The word has been in the English language for almost a thousand years, whereas the fetish is relatively new.

    Fun fact: giving someone “bunny ears” by putting two fingers behind their head used to be referred to as “the horns of the cuckold”, and it meant that you were saying that person’s wife had been unfaithful.

      He wrote “cucked” which is modern slang

        So? The definition is the same.

        You can look these things up before you comment.

        That’s just turning the adjective into a verb. It’s literally the same thing. This is a common practice in the English language. It doesn’t change the meaning, only how it’s used in a sentence. If someone “cucks” you, that’s them doing the action that makes you a cuck(old).

      Bunny ears are the index and middle finger. The horns are the index finger and pinky.

        Depends on the country. Bunny ears have historically also been the horns of the cuckold.

  Have you never heard the lyrics?

  I have probably heard this song over 10k times, if I’m lucky. If you were alive in the UK in the 00s, there was no fucking escape.
