Do you remember those Trump-loving, nonwhite-people-hating “alt-right” wingers who are obsessed with calling everyone “cucks,” as in “cuckolds?” Were you wondering what they thought about the Paris attacks?
No? Well, too bad because I’ve collected a bunch of their Tweets for you. And they are as thoughtful and nuanced as you might expect. By which I mean as far from thoughtful and/or nuanced as is humanly possible.
Had enough vibrant diversity yet? #Paris sure has. We don't have any reason to cuck ourselves to third world barbarians. #ParisAttacks

Some of them take the “cuck” metaphor quite literally:

Oh, look, they’re fans of Breitbart!

But not fans of comedian Michael Ian Black:

Oh, don’t worry, they haven’t forgotten about the other pressing issues of the day:

And they haven’t forgotten about dear old Donald Trump either:

EXTRA POINTS: At least one of these Tweeters is a #GamerGater. Without looking at anyone’s Twitter timeline, can you tell which one(s)?
My guesses in order of likelihood are “All of them, Katie” and James Vivian.
I’m guessing it’s one James Vivian.
I’ll guess James_Vivian as the gamergator, but I’ll admit the reasons are pretty superficial.
As for the rest, I think I’ve hit semantic saturation on the word “cuck,” to the point where I’m wondering if all of these accounts are just really racist, sentient chickens.
Why do I get the feeling many of them watch a lot of IR cuckolding porn? The secret shame (which ain’t so secret) reeks harder than the gross public bathroom at a shitty dive bar.
“Cuck” is actually a Scottyism for #2, as in, “Fill your ears with cuck, and you’ll die a sh*thead”, which these guys will surely do.
I’m guessing the answer to that last question is “all of them”?
It’s James Vivian; Vivian James is the name of that ridiculous mascot they had to invent as proof that there were women on their side.
I can’t believe this is a thing that occupies space in my brain.
“Cuck”. It seems like no trend is too dumb to catch on.
The gator has to be James Vivian. Name is a reversal of their mascot character (Vivian James, meant to sound vaguely like video games) and there also the ranting about SJWs which is pretty typical of how gamer gate types speak.
Is “Cuck” pronounced like “cook” or like the noise a chicken makes?
Does anyone speak their language fluently enough to explain to me, in English, what “cuck” means, when they say it? I know what the word from which it’s derived (cuckold) means… but it almost never seems to be mean that in their usage… I see it used as a noun, verb, and adjective… from context it seems to mean different things all the time… It’s very confusing. As a verb sometimes it’s bad to “cuck” (see first tweet above, “cuck ourselves to third world barbarians”) but sometimes it’s GOOD to cuck and bad to “be cucked” (see older post about Juice Bro “cucking” Seth Rogan).
Unfortunately for me my parents seem to be echoing a few of these tools sentiments. Thankfully they aren’t completely racist (the operative word being completely they are still pretty racist.) My dad even pretty much said the trump wannabee’s little trojan refugee thing.
That social justice mad scientist (???) is traced from Ed, Edd ‘n’ Eddy, isn’t it.
Can’t be a “traitor” to someone you weren’t aligned with in the first place, shitlords.
Davidknewton — assuming they’re using the old English cuckold as the root, it’s like the noise a chicken makes, I think. I’m sticking with that though cuz w00t for double meanings!
Brian — I think it’s effectively their “smurf”. As in — smurf this smurfing place. Could mean fuck this shitty place, or love this wonderful place, or anything in between.
Cuck comes from cuckold, a word that’s been largely relegated to exotic varieties of pornography for awhile now. If it’s your thing and it’s consensual (best double entendre?), then have fun, but that’s not really what the full word means. Dictionary.com has it. Urbandictionary.com also has it in spades.
As for how they use it? It seems to mean “person who I don’t like and I think has been taken advantage of”. So, “everyone who doesn’t believe my weird authoritarian conspiracy theories”, basically? I’m not sure. It’s a dumb word.
If ever confronted by a virulent racist or super-patriot over the issue of refugees, my first instinct would be to say something along the lines of, “To allow countless people to suffer and die because there might be a few subversive elements hidden among them would be a form of depraved indifference*.” However, I probably wouldn’t bother, because even if they fully understood what I meant by that, they’d still consider me a traitor to my race and/or nationality. When one’s identity is based around everyone being inherently or by default loyal to one or more social concepts, and another one finding the concept(s) to be irrelevant or meaningless, there’s no way they can ever see eye-to-eye.
*I’m not sure if it’s okay to say this here. “Depraved” could potentially be seen as being ableist language, but “depraved indifference” is a legalistic term which I am using in a fairly broad sense. If it’s an issue, I apologize and will refrain from using it again.
The semantic evolution is probably something like:
Cuckold (noun)
1. Man being sexually cheated by his woman
> 2. Man who generally fails to dominate his woman/compete with other men
> 3. Man who generally fails masculinity
> 5.Person who fails conservative values
+ 6. General insult
The social justice mad scientist seems awfully white to me. I suppose it’s no surprise that white supremacists can’t envision a mad scientist of color. Though I suppose the scientist could potentially be a antisemitic caricature, too.
Interesting statistic: Of the 700K+ refugees admitted to the U.S. since the World Trade Center attacks, exactly 3 have gone on to commit acts of terrorism, none of them in the U.S.
I’m feeling pretty secure that sealing the borders is not the way to go.
@kirbywarp: perhaps you mean computer savvy? Or something more along those lines? Chickens, being living creatures and not machines, are already sentient.
This gives me a really good idea for a graphic novel though… :))
y’know its quite stunning the effects on the English language this nunchvare having. Yesterday I had to admonish my nearly 10 year old daughter for using the word Waifu and tell her its as bad as the daddy only F word.
I explains that’s its so bad even daddy won’t say it. Actually that’s a copy out because I don’t want to explain the meaning.
Now I have to add cuck to that list.
BTW why is it acceptable to use douch? If you look at the original US meaning rather than the French (there getting everywhere nowadays) its conceptually quite disparaging, offensive towards women. I mean if I called you a cock cleaning implement because all penises are dirty and need to be cleaned regular, cos I won’t talk to that felka cos he has a dirty cock… sorry I digress on rant their… but I really hate the use of the word douch
Argenti Aertheri: I’m tempted now to modify that Millennials-To-Snake-People browser add-on to change “cuck” to “smurf”.
It’s because of people like these that I lose a bit of my humanity for.
Can people be this stupid and racist in the year 2015?
But I forgot, the era of irony is over and it’s all “New Sincerity” and “Bro Culture” that reigns supreme… yuck…
