If there’s one thing that most incels agree on, it’s that however degraded they think they are, at least they’re better off than cucks. And they mean this both literally and not-so-literally. While they disapprove of men who fit the dictionary definition of “cuckold” — that is, “a man whose wife is unfaithful” — their own mental dictionary has a rather more expansive view of the word.
As incels see it, anyone who defends women or challenges incels’ misogyny is a “cuck.” So are those who date or marry women whom incels see as undesirable. Sometimes they extend the insult to take in every man who has ever has sex with a woman who isn’t a virgin, and who has therefore (according to incel logic) been “cucked” by every other man she slept with before him. In this way, incels turn their own “involuntary” celibacy into a badge of honor: Incel > cuck.
But not all incels agree. In a post last fall, a prolific commenter on the Incels.co forums hit his compatriots with a new “black pill,” declaring incels themselves the ultimate cucks.
“Let’s face it,” SlayerSlayer began.
Involuntary celibate no longer means what it meant to mean. Depending on who wields the word, it can either mean any straight white male that doesn’t shit rainbows out of their asshole, or it could mean a subhuman ethnic with acne.
I generally only use the term for people who actually call themselves incels, but I guess that’s just me.
But what is true about depressed men who are completely fucked in life romantically, is that they are cucked, and they did not intend for that to happen.
It’s more accurate to call ourselves involuntary cucks. Everyone is cucking us. Soys, chads, that purple haired dyke . . . all these people you despise are the chosen bulls, and you are the one chosen by women to sit in the other room, and listen to these parties fornicate in ways YOU never will genetically deserve. They are getting laid, and you aren’t. You did not intend for such a situation to occur, but you’re forced to witness it.
You’re not being forced to witness it, dude. You’re not bound and gagged and forced to watch from a closet. You don’t have to watch porn. You ca put in headphones if you happen to hear someone down the hall in the dorm having sex.
Even when you aren’t witnessing it, you’re on your nofap, you’re in therapy, you’re putting in all the effort you can to leave it behind. But you cannot escape the cuckholdry. Ultimately, it’s all you think about. You cannot escape the thought, the obsession, the imagination on the periphery: THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING SEX, AND YOU AREN’T.
CUCK
By this logic anyone who isn’t having sex right this minute is being cucked by someone, somewhere.
And if we extend this logic only a little bit, we can redefine the word “cuck” to include virtually anything we’re being excluded from or overtaken in. The person at the next table in the restaurant gets served before you? You’re being food cucked. Someone passes you on the highway? You’re being car cucked. Someone is petting a dog and you’re not? You’re being pet cucked. Everyone is being cucked.
To be fair, most of the incels who responded to SlayerSlayer’s post dismissed it as “low IQ” and wrong. But one commenter decided to do SlayerSlayer one better.
“As long as you’re paying taxes you are supporting women against your own interests,” wrote EyesAreSoCold. “He’s right that we are involuntary cucks.”
Of all the misogynists I track, Incels probably the most inventive at coming up with new, if entirely bogus, ways to depress themselves.

This isn’t really a new argument. Someone lose posited a very similar argument in 2017.
Shame on SlayerSlayer for stealing the name of one of my favorite bands.
Is it weird that the picture of the Spidermans made me think “No, U” “No, me“?
So we are just reading this guy’s erotica, right? Like, that is what this is, yes?
I “like” how he is just casually dropping a smelly white supremacy right on the floor there with the “straight while male” versus the “subhuman ethnic”.
It does make me wonder if he’s a “subhuman ethnic” who’s managed to con himself into hating himself over that too.
@numerobis
Incels seem inexhaustible at finding new ways to hate themselves.
Jesus, god himself would have to come down and physically change these assholes personality for them to be anything less then pathetic at this point.
This is probably the best summary of incel mentality I’ve ever read. Clearly this person is capable of some amount of self reflection. Yet he completely fails to understand that it’s this mentality that is the problem.
Also, I second numerobis’ interpretation that this person himself is what he calls a “subhuman ethnic”. To me what he seems to be saying is that some people calling themselves incels are much worse off than others, sort of an incel version of the “oppression Olympics”
I am being pet cucked right now and I’m not impressed. I was patting a cat and its owner (my neighbour) came out and picked her up to take her home and I had to watch as I was pet cucked, right in front of me! I bet she’s patting her cat RIGHT NOW! Since it was a cat it also looked smug, cos it’s a cat. This is the clearest explanation i’ve seen of the outer limits of the ‘logic’ of cuck(h)oldry so thanks David.
The only problem with this post is that now every time a car overtakes me or someone jumps a queue, I may end up laughing hysterically (deliberate word choice there) and be unable to explain myself.
If your significant other doesn’t cheat on you, does that mean you are being Cuck Cucked?
Hello, I’m a woman who pays taxes. Does this mean I’m being “money cucked” by everyone who is too poor to pay taxes?
I regularly get pet cucked because my cats would rather be petted by other members of my family who sit in the living room more often.
And let’s not forget being medcucked by everyone who is in line in front of me at the pharmacy.
I don’t know whether incels are cucked or uncucked or cucked in all ways all the time. But I do know that these guys never, ever shut up about how they are being wronged. What ever happened to the strong, silent type.
Make sense from my understanding of them. They are trying to find all possible way to rile themselves up a frenzy.
I think they aren’t all primed grenades yet, but they all do their darnedest efforts to make themselves into primed grenades.
Cuck, cuckety cuck-cuck.
Whenever the word ‘cuck’ comes up, this is my first mental image:

The entire video is gold, btw.
I kinda want a WHTM/Jimquisition crossover.
I read this guy’s drivel when I could have been doing literally anything else. He has just time cucked me.
@Pickle Fields
I think they call that being “wagecucked.”
Some people just enjoy being unhappy. That’s the best sense I can make of it.
So any time Person 1 gets something desirable that Person 2 doesn’t have, then Person 2 is a cuck? But that happens to literally every single person in the world, including teraChads. I just ate an epic blueberry muffin that Brad Pitt will only ever be able to dream about.
If everybody’s a cuck, then nobody’s a cuck. The entitlement wafting off these posts is ridiculous.
Man, I miss when cuckoldry referred exclusively to adulterous affairs. The definitional drift of this word is freakin’ ridiculous.
Precisely. When I was in the deepest recesses of depression back when I was in university, this is what my focus was. Everyone is getting laid except me.

Then after some therapy and antidepressants, I realized not only is that not true, but after having sex for the first time, it was like “Huh, that was fun… still the same person though.”
I absolutely abhor getting queue-cucked. Especially by entitled Boomers who usually go as far as cutting you off whilst the cashier is asking you about payment methods, just to ask for 30 irrelevant questions.
And have you ever considered getting seat-cucked at a bus? The worst cuckholdry of all I tell you!
@Buttercup
I’ve been seeing this attitude in the comments section on the posts about the new Freeform show Motherland: Fort Salem. The premise is in an alternate America, witches made a deal with the early US government to defend this country in exchange for not getting hanged, burned, placed under very large rocks, and other death sentences. The result is a modern day America where women have greater representation in all layers of society, which I think sounds like a fascinating starting point for a weekly serial. The opening title sequence is rather lovely:
Other people share my fascination with the concept, speculating on how this would have affected past conflicts, social changes, etc. And then you have anonymous assholes like this:
@Diego Duarte
No, the worst cuckoldry must be if you do everything at once so you’re not getting cucked, so you would be getting cuck-cucked.
@Victorious Parasol
That show sounds interesting. I don’t currently have the ability to watch it, but if that changes I will check it out.
It’s telling that that commenter was unable to conceptualize anything outside the lens of patriarchy.
@Naglfar
Yes, I’ve noticed that’s often the case with commenters grumbling about a Ladyland premise. The assumptions they make say so much about how they see the world.
One thing the creator/showrunner and cast have mentioned is that this is a more sex-positive America, which my inner cynic says is an excuse to provide sexxxy girl-on-girl action, but in case my inner cynic is wrong, I think that’s an intriguing change to include.
Honestly, I’m beginning to wonder why we haven’t seen this kind of AU-US before.
@VP : the asshole you cite is terrifying. I have no idea how someone can write something that long without his mind snapping back to reality 😡
@Katamount – I was going to link that!!! XD Great minds, and all that.
@Ohlmann
There’s just so much wrong to unpack, isn’t there?
