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.

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

My kink is watching people argue over the difference.

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.
