That's not what the song is about lol

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 17 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

That's definitely what the song is about. Have you never heard the lyrics?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 24 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Have you?? It's about getting cheated on, he's clearly not on board with it lol

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Cuckolding doesn't imply consent. In fact it pretty specifically implies that the man doesn't know it. The word has been in the English language for almost a thousand years, whereas the fetish is relatively new.

Fun fact: giving someone "bunny ears" by putting two fingers behind their head used to be referred to as "the horns of the cuckold", and it meant that you were saying that person's wife had been unfaithful.

He wrote "cucked" which is modern slang

That's just turning the adjective into a verb. It's literally the same thing. This is a common practice in the English language. It doesn't change the meaning, only how it's used in a sentence. If someone "cucks" you, that's them doing the action that makes you a cuck(old).

So? The definition is the same.

You can look these things up before you comment.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Why on earth would I look up the original definition for a word when someone used the slang that derived from it and I already knew both definitions?

4chan/Incel culture has co-opted "cuckolding" from a consensual kink to mean just plain old getting cheated on.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

So you really think the fetish came first? Because the word predates the modern fetish usage by like 800 years.

It comes from the cuckoo bird, which engages in nest parasitism. It lays its eggs in another bird's nest to be raised by birds that aren't its parents.

Kink culture has co-opted it from plain old getting cheated on to a consensual kink.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 15 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

My kink is watching people argue over the difference.

[–] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

May I watch you watching them? Because that's my kink.

Ugh, another "literally". Fuck that, let's not validate incel nonsense.

....if you're not going to do anything about it, i.e. watch it happen, that's the definition of cuckoldry

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Have you never heard the lyrics?

I have probably heard this song over 10k times, if I'm lucky. If you were alive in the UK in the 00s, there was no fucking escape.
