Ben Domenech went after Meyers after the comedian criticized his wife's remarks on The View about Rep. Ilhan Omar
(Snip)
I see that @sethmeyers, the untalented piece of sh*t who only has has job because he regularly gargled Lorne Michaels balls, went after my wife tonight with his idiotic anti-Semitic bullshit, wrote Domenech.
Here is proof that white men get ahead despite their obvious lack of talent, he added. Its @sethmeyers, who would beg for a third of the viewers at @TheView. Hes awful, untalented, and a perfect definition of a cuck.
Cuck is a broadly recognized alt-right slang word indicating a man who is emasculated or sexually inferior as a result of liberal political views.

It was such a respectful interview too.

No surprise he would be this way. I heard he is more right wing than her.

(7,596 posts)If this wanker uses repulsive, extreme right slang like "cuck" in an online rant, you just know he uses it frequently in private as well. Fuck them both.

(5,954 posts)Ironically, that stupid twitter rant has gotten him more attention than ANYTHING he's ever written; or that pathetic website 'The Federalist' has ever garnered on merit.

If someone in Europe gives you"the horns", they are calling you a cuckold. It has jack shit to do with your political affiliation. Who writes this shit?

(29,322 posts)The term became popular when at the start of gamergate some guy wrote an online post how awful his video game developer girlfriend is and alleged cheating so that is why they came up with it. When conservatives criticized Trump they called them Cuckservatives. In the context he used it in it is appropriate to mention alt right usage of the term.

(6,843 posts)Go to Italy or Spain, cut someone off in traffic, chances are you'll get flashed the horns.
Again, it's NOT a political slur and if they are using it that way, they are stupid
JonLP24
(29,322 posts)the alt right uses the term constantly and it is no coincidence her homophobic husband used it. He wasn't thinking of Spain or Italy when he used it.
I know the urban dictionary is not the real dictionary but this is the alt right definition.
cuck
A man who is desperate for acceptance, approval, and affection from women. This desperation has led to the compromise of his beliefs and values, the desecration of his dignity and self-worth, and his inability to stand up for himself and what he deserves as a human being, eg. loyalty, fidelity, and honesty in a romantic relationship.
I know John's always wanted a girlfriend but since him and Mary started dating he's become a cuck. She spends all of his money and flirts openly with other men. I can tell it bothers him but he's so afraid of losing her that he doesn't say anything.

(6,843 posts)A man who is sexually inadequate so his partner must go elsewhere for satisfaction.
JonLP24
(29,322 posts)because they started using it because of a person's online post where he alleged cheating by his girlfriend.
Drahthaardogs
(6,843 posts)But it has nothing to do with the political affiliation and everything to do about your sexual prowess.
It's stupid how they have adulterated the word to make it mean something it simply doesn't.

(6,843 posts)Feel free to tell them to actually learn the definition if a word before they use it.
JI7
(89,247 posts)they are using it in a political context.
Codeine
(25,586 posts)Literally every single alt-right reddit post is loaded with multiple uses of the term.
Drahthaardogs
(6,843 posts)Point it out to them. I love to ask "what do you think that word means?"
Codeine
(25,586 posts)theyve just adapted it. Gay used to mean one thing, now it means another. Language changes over time and words undergo shifts in meaning or application. Railing against it is like demanding the tide stop rolling in and out.
