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!

Regarding douche, I’ve seen the quip that it should up these people perfectly. They’re pointless, built on misinformation, and harmful to women
What Bakunin said. Also, douchecanoe is fun to say.
@autosoma:
I’m not sure that “waifu”, or for that matter, “husbando” (which is also a term, if less commonly used) is really a “bad word”, so much as a term whose meaning is something which some people wish really didn’t exist as a concept. And it did exist as a concept before those terms existed, it just wasn’t talked about openly. The most common use of it is to imply an emotional attachment to a fictional character or an inanimate object (or, quite often, an inanimate object which is a depiction of a fictional character) at a level normally reserved for a significant other. I suppose that it could be seen as ableist (if used to imply that someone is emotionally stunted) or racist (if used to imply that it’s a sign of Japanese inferiority) or even objectifying (if used to describe an attraction to a real person). But all those uses would be context-dependent. It would be like considering either “dyslexic” or “stupid” to be a bad word because some people imply that those who have dyslexia are stupid.
Then again maybe there’s some new use of the term which I haven’t encountered which genuinely taints those words. Given how often racists and sexists use animé avatars, it wouldn’t be completely surprising. But at the moment I’m not seeing any issues.
Their use of cuck is pretty much the equivalent to smurf, alongside their thinly veiled racism.
One benefit it does show is that, it’s okay to admit that anyone can be a complete racist like these shitheads. They may be of differen skin colors (mostly white) but they have one thing in common, being complete and absolute bigots.
Trust me go some parts of the completely americanized asian community and you’ll find the exact same sentiments there.
At least the good news is that so far France and the EU aren’t gonna try to make this in ISIS’ favor. Sure the tighter border control is expected but at least no one is seriously suggesting to deport thousands of refugees.
Oh, hey, here’s Republican Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee comparing refugees to Chipotle food: wut
Insightful.
littleknown — both bring interesting diversity to American culture? I fear that’s not what he meant. Also, now I want chipotle.
More on douches, vaginas are self cleaning and douching can mess up the PH balance of the vagina which can lead to all sorts of nasty infections and stuff. People THINK douches are beneficial but they can mess up the parts pretty badly in the long wrong, much like any human douche.
Plus, Lysol was originally made as a douche and no one wants that near their vagina. At all.
“Mike Huckabee compares Syrian refugees to tainted Chipotle food in weird analogy about closing borders”
Just cuz a few might be dangerous doesn’t mean they all are? Nope, not that either. Better testing procedures? Nope, nothing that tame. CLOSE ALL THE CHIPOTLES!! I mean borders.
His racism is expected at this point, but why did chipotle close all their stores over what is a relatively mild contamination? Just how intermixed is their supply if they couldn’t track the contamination without going “CLOSE EVERYTHING!”?
@argenti, at one point it clicked for me that “douchecanoe” is a slang for “vagina”, and i was immediately turned off of saying it. As gendered insults go it’s not bad, mind you, since it doesn’t imply weakness, femininity, etc – it’s rather like “dick” in meaning “generally a bit of a jerk.” I just don’t like it. You mileage may vary!
@Snowberry, you should call them cowards. It’s what they are, and it’s perfect, because they imagine themselves as anything but cowards – they figure they’re heroic freedom-loving super-fighters, but they’re so afraid that one-in-one-thousand suffering people in need might be a terr’rist that they want to push them into the sea. They’re spineless cowards, plain and simple.

I’m now wondering about doing similar for a whole load of manosphere and conservative words.
so given your explanation, how do I explain the concept of waifu to a nine and three quarter year old girl.
I only said it was a bad word cos I couldn’t be arsed to think of an explanation. Typical parenting by the seat of my pants
That’s a good question, autosoma (and, pant-seat-parenting is the only kind there is!). I dunno, really – maybe tell her that it’s when someone says another person is their wife, but they don’t know one another at all? When the person just wants to own someone else like a wife, without actually, you know, doing all that icky relationship-with-other-human-being stuff?
It’s a tough concept to explain, even to an adult.
Can a feeeemale be a cuck? Or is it only men?
I’m asking because I may be a cuck. But, if a penis is required, than I can’t be.
I don’t want to be left out, just because I lack a penis. That would be so very unfair.
Sure! Anyone can be a cuck! That’s the magic of cucking! You get a magical metaphor-penis as long as you take things from other people. Bonus points if you take something that they don’t actually own, but they think they’re entitled to anyways! Bonus-bonus points if you yourself are the thing you’re taking away from them that they feel entitled to have!
(ugh. I never want to use this word ‘cu*k’ again. I’m sorry, it’s just such a gross word)
Also I think I screwed that up. I guess I should get back to work! o/
Bakunin: best definition of douche. EVAR.
Argenti: I also think douchecanoe is fun to say. And I didn’t know that it is slang for vagina. That does take a little of the fun out of it for me, although I don’t really find it insulting.
And, Skiledfreja: YAY, I am a cuck, your a cuck, we are all cucks! Cuckity cuck cuck. Glad the term is pretty inclusive. 🙂
As long as we’re speaking of asshole right-wingers using horrible events for their own shitty thing: Vice has a nice write-up about how Gamergaters tried to frame Veerender Jubbal as a terrorist:

Assholes.
Do these guys not realize that they sound like total losers?
@auotosoma
Just say that it’s pretending you want to be married to something which isn’t real. And if you really don’t like it, add something to the effect that it’s not something they should be doing, even if it’s just, “that’s bad, please don’t do/say it”. Even most 5-year-olds can understand that.
@raysa
Sure. A man whose significant other is having sex with someone else is a cuckold. A woman whose significant other is having sex with someone is a cuckquean. In either case, they’re cuckolded (adjective) and their significant other is a cuckolder who is engaging in cuckolding. All of these terms can be shortened to some form of “cuck”, and no penis is necessary for any of the people involved.
When this is a consensual fetish, there’s usually an element of humiliation for the cuckolded person and an element of dehumanization for the third person (often called a “bull” if male). If those elements are both absent, then one can still semi-reasonably call it cuckolding, but it’s really more of swinging with a possible voyeurism element.
Y’know… For all the jokes about “Manspeak” becoming its own language, sometimes I wonder if bigotese actually will. Half the shit they say needs a friggin’ translator already, even when you know what the words are supposed to mean and it’s all spelled correctly.
Also, 99.99999% of all cuckolding porn features a white couple with a black third person (which is probably where “Bull” comes from, because horrible slavery stuff), so there’s an enormous racist element too. It almost makes sense when it’s mapped out like this – MRAcists hate women having sex, hate black people, and utterly despise white women having sex with black men, so of course they’d latch on to cuckolding porn as a metaphor for their idiotic worldview. But then they forget their own etymology and use it like a teenage girl from the ’90s uses “Like” and we’re right back to needing a translator.
That’s the context I see the likes of Matt Forney and all those using it – “cuck”, particularly a “cuckservative”, is a word they use for someone who isn’t racist enough and has shown views that non-white people are basically human. After all, they need to protect the human race and purify it so that it consists solely of Adonis-like pictures of manhood such as Matt Forney.
@kirbywarp I doubt they’re all “just really racist, sentient chickens”.
I mean, what evidence do we really have that they’re sentient?
@littleknown: You mean Child Molester Apologist Mike Huckabee.
I’m pretty sure that it’s “James Vivian” who’s the ‘gator here. As other people have said, his handle’s an inversion of the GG mascot’s name. He’s also the only one to make no noises about cuckoldry per se, being instead concerned with Ess Jay Double-Yous.
