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

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago

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

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

He wrote "cucked" which is modern slang

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

So? The definition is the same.

You can look these things up before you comment.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months 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?

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

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).

You have it almost exactly backwards. Cuckolding is a kink where you are aroused by being cheated on, usually while watching.

[-] DrBob@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Bunny ears are the index and middle finger. The horns are the index finger and pinky.

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Depends on the country. Bunny ears have historically also been the horns of the cuckold.

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

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

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 21 points 2 months ago

My kink is watching people argue over the difference.

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

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months 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.

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

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months 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.
