GQ: Being a cuck is super cool

quote:

If you are totally unfamiliar with the term cuck and are wondering why someone just ALL CAPS SHOUTED that you are one on Twitter, well, it’s the alt-right’s favorite insult for men who are not members of the alt-right. The term is derived from porn, wherein white husbands watch their wives or girlfriends have sex with (generally) black men. If you wonder why the prospect of your wife having sex with another man would be more humiliating if that man were black, well, congratulations; you’re not a racist.

First of all, listening to others, accepting criticism, and evolving in your views—“caving in”—is a good thing. If you had retained forever the same views you had at five, you’d be living on a manly diet of buttered noodles and boogers.


Second, let’s look at some of the people the alt-right considers real alpha men. Of course, there’s Donald Trump. That’s kind of hilarious, since Donald Trump is a man who seems to live his life in a constant state of fear, whether it’s of brown people or the media reporting on things he’s said or Alec Baldwin spoofing him on SNL. He is intent on proving that his hands are very large. Maybe they are, but his skin is very, very thin. All that, and he thinks the way to seduce a woman is to take her furniture shopping. The fact that anyone could look at such a goofball and see unmitigated strength is a sign that their moral compass is unmitigatedly weak.

Any one of those is the action of a man who cares about people. The action of a cuck who also seems like he might be someone we’d have mutually satisfying sex with. And also maybe someone to marry and raise little cucks with, if interests align and things work out down the road.


You know what men described as cucks used to be called? Decent. Desirable. Thoughtful. Kind. If those qualities now qualify as an insult, then the problem isn’t with them. It’s with America.
