Cool etymology explanation. It's a pretty well known one, but extra points for being deliberately obtuse.

It's a sad incel insult because they equate a man's worth to the ownership of a woman for the purpose of sex, and the loss of it to another man as a loss of their 'manhood'.

The moment you call someone a cuck or cuckhold, you're telling the world exactly how reductive and sad your view of the world and the people in it is.

I was being genuine and assuming you didn't know the symbological meaning, because frankly I don't think it is that common to know unless you either come from a culture where that's prevalent or are interested in history. 🤷‍♂️ I'm pretty sure the Q Shaman guy didn't put that outfit together thinking about the cuckold symbolism.

Acknowledging that the alt right is obsessed with cuckoldry while being ignorant of its symbolism isn't the same as buying into it.

Go have this argument with someone who actually buys into this stuff instead of someone who is just trying to be informative online. If that pisses you off then block me because the type of autism I have doesn't come with an off switch for dropping random info.

Kink shaming people with cuckoldry fetish is reductive and reactionary.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
