Like a lot of people, I’ve watched with a mixture of amusement and incredulity over the past year or so as the term “cuck” has become the insult of choice amongst the Anime Nazis and assorted other miscreants who make up the resurgent far right.
Borrowed from racialized cuckold porn — in which (white) porn husbands watch in aroused horror as their (white) porn wives have sex with more virile black men — the term “cuck” is used to suggest that the recipient of the insult is effete, even effeminate, basically a big fat pussy with a bit of “race traitor” added into the mix.
The word is to alt-right racists what “mangina” is to MRAs. And, much like “mangina,” it’s a consummately ineffective insult. Aside from a few movement conservatives who bristled a bit at being called “cuckservatives,” most of those on the receiving end of the insult see it as being about as meaningful as the clucking of a chicken.
But there is one group of people who have something of a proprietary interest in the term “cuck,” and who aren’t exactly overjoyed that the term has been turned into a Twitter taunt: the actual cuckold fetishists who get off on the complex and kinky psychosexual drama of cuckolding.
Earlier this week, Vice treated us to an interview with “Dave,” a “Southern California entrepreneur and part-time ‘alpha cuck’ in his mid-forties” who is a little peeved that his sexual identity has become an insult.
“They don’t know what [cuck] means within the scene,” he told Vice’s Mike Pearl. “They believe it means inferior. They don’t realize that there certainly are a lot of alpha cucks out there,” guys who enjoy watching their wife or girlfriend with other men but who aren’t interested (mildly NSFW link) in the ritual humiliation of the cuck that gives many cuck fetishists their big sexual charge.
Naturally, the Alt-Right Knights Who Say Cuck find the very notion of “alpha cuckoldry” risible. On the blog 28 Sherman, reactionary racist blogger Ryan Landry responds to the Vice piece with an intermittently coherent rant expressing his no doubt futile hopes that the use of “cuck” as an insult could drive “sick” cucks back into the sexual shadows where they belong.
“Cucks have existed for a long time,” he argues,
but if your society even grants them a neutral approach or tolerance, it is deeply in decline.
The use of cuck as an insult crushes the literal cucks’ mindset because this destroys whatever fake status they are accruing. … By using cuck as an insult, it pierces the bubble these weak f*ggots have of their choices and their sexual depravity.
Huh. I don’t think “alpha cuck” Dave sounded much like someone who’d just had his bubble “pierced” or his mindset “crushed.” He sounded, at least to me, just sort of annoyed.
Landry continues on in much the same vein, suggesting that “cuck” has caught on as an insult because it’s no longer socially acceptable to call someone a “f*ggot.”
These people are a symptom of a sick society. These people should not be glorified or open about their deviancy. They should have to hide their depraved lifestyle. Does anyone know if Muslims throw cucks off rooftops? Even Psychology Today wrote how there is an underlying element of homosexuality in the cuck circles. I’ve mentioned before that literal cucks are a tiny number of men, and that people use it as an insult because f*ggot is not PC anymore. Whether you are getting banged by another man or letting another man bang your wife, sorry, but you’re a f*ggot in the true meaning of the word: a weak man deserving contempt.
It’s kind of amazing how worked up some people can get about the sexual activities of consenting adults.
I would love an Overwatch dakimakura (which is the Japanese name for them, I believe), but they only have the “fan favorite” sexy girls, Tracer, D.Va and Widowmaker from what I’ve seen. 😐
Where’s my Soldier 76 and Reaper dakimakuras, goddamnit? Where is my sexy dad representation?
@Oogly
Ah, okay. Asking cause he looks a lot like a guy I used to know. I was about to go “Heeeeeyy, Chris?! Is that you?!? What a coincidence!”
Good, good, it’s probably for the best you don’t show yourself here. Those guys choose people to harass for very random reasons.
@Oogly, that Kojima pillow really made my day, thank you.
@Virgin Mary,
I’m just tickled pink that Psychology Today is still seen as a totally legitimate source.
Ooookay……. Glad i’m not at work.
If that’s “mildly” NSFW, what do people do at their job nowadays, anyway?
But then, again, David works at home, so… his environment must be quite informal. :p
I thought cuckoldry minus the humiliation and inferiority-wallowing was called hotwifing.
@PI
Reaper would totally be into that sort of thing.

Even this guy got a daki before any of the overwatch mens.

But since I can’t seem to find the dilf dakis, I’ll have to settle for the next best thing.
@Chiomara
Yeah I think it’s for the best. Call it cowardly but frankly I like my anonymity just like any other person.
So how do you accrue status? How much do you accrue in a pay period? 2 manpoints every two weeks? Accrue 10 manpoints and get one free sex? I am interested in the benefits offered by the alt right, beyond group masturbation and free slightly used (and damp) copies of Atlas Shrugged. How’s the health plan? Do we get free lunch occasionally? Any incentive packages?
I guess it doesn’t matter. As a measly woman, I can’t accrue anything. I just lose status each day my ancient 26-year-old body ages.
@Oogly:
Fer fuck’s sake, let my edgy trashcan DILF live.
Just in case anyone’s curious, “Psychology Today wrote how there is an underlying element of homosexuality in the cuck circles” because it’s a garbage magazine with zero connection to current psychological science.
These dudes are obsessed with “declines” and “collapses”. Is the sky falling or something? I didn’t look up when I went outside today.
To wake up with a slight hangover and see the last three headlines.
The world never ceases to amaze me. And I’m all out of beer. Dammit.
Just when I thought misogynists couldn’t get any lower, they turn out to be kinkshamers.
It is amazing how transparently insecure the alt-right is when it comes to manhood.
He says “I’ve mentioned before that literal cucks are a tiny number of men”, but somehow they’re also a threat to society so bad that they ought to be thrown off rooftops. This seems… inconsistent.
Wait….since when was “Cuck” PC?
I think there might be a teeny element of truth there, considering that apparently FaceBook deletes posts with the word “faggot”, which I heard about recently when a guy posted about the harassment and bullying he had suffered in his high school days, quoting his bullies calling him “faggot”.
As for “faggot” “no longer bring PC” – ummmm, it never was, moron.
the “mildly NSFW link” is filled with so much sexism!
I haven’t laughed this hard in ages. Thanks, David. Thanks, Chiomara. Thanks, Ooglyboggles.
@Zatar
When the term f^g got you looks like that racist grandma who keeps saying antisemitic things over Christmas dinner.
“I’m being kinkshamed by Nazis” is a sentence I can’t imagine anyone would be prepared for in any capacity.
@EJ
I am glad to be of service.
@PI
The irony is that the ones with anime avatars KNOW the type of kinky shit that hentai will go, boundaries that start to look less like Brazzers and more like, well, fever dreams of smut. Anyone who knows what SadPanda is in regards to hentai knows what I am talking about. And then they claim degeneracy. Like they don’t know what period porn is.
It’s not really about kinks. It’s about domination. Thoses nazis at least see porn only as a way to show and remember that women are properties, so they shame practices that don’t mesh well with that. And japanese porn, in my humble opinion, usually leave men in control and women as commodity. Especially for the cheap, bad quality one that seem popular among anime nazi from what I have seen.
I must admit cuck is one of thoses kinks that leave me uneasy. I of course don’t condemn it, and will never say to one that he is a sicko or anything, but deep down I have trouble shutting the internal voice that say “this isn’t innocent and reveal the blackness of their heart”. Even tho it’s wrong.
(note : while I refuse to act upon them, I do have shameful kinks – as in, “anyone that do that in real life would take a criminal offence or ten”)
@Ohlmann
I try to leave people alone to their fetishes so long as no one brings them up unless the conversation allows for it and everyone’s okay with it. We all got our kinks that frankly if we were ever to act out like in a Slaaneshi party, everyone would be slapped with all sorts of crimes against decency.
Every time I see the word cuck my brain rewrites it as cluck and it makes me think of chickens
