Example (2)

[edit]

Please change from "cucked by Islam" to "cucked by his wife", or pick a different word. The current label is fully inadequate and insulting.

Agreed. I've removed the usage example altogether. Leasnam (talk) 10:40, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

RFC

[edit]

While recent edits were not great, the current array of labels also seems ... inadequate, as I raised at WT:RFC#cucked. - -sche (discuss) 09:07, 1 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Example

[edit]

The change from "cucked by Islam" to "cucked by his wife" was reverted with a reasoning of 'but it's confusing tho', and that was then reverted with 'ok then pick a different word', and then only a couple more reverts without any comment lead to the page being indefinitely fully protected. Why? The example should be removed (why was it even there unreferenced in the first place?) and if you revert an edit that changes it to something non offensive you have to have a valid reason instead of not giving one and then indef locking the page. – Nixinova (talkedits) 00:37, 19 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

1. 4chan slang usage != traditional "cuckolding".
2. "Counter-productive edit warring: use WT:TEA to discuss changes to this page"

It's not just 4chan slang anymore though, it's more widespread and is now (Internet slang). If only one strict usage is allowed then its not actually a proper word, is it? In general, examples should default to the least offensive usage. And what is the point of a talk page if not for discussing changes to the article? – Nixinova [‌T|C] 02:14, 12 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
The entry does say "Internet slang" in addition to "4chan"; it is glossed as both. Equinox 03:26, 12 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Newly-added adjective needs to be defined as an adjective, not a substantive, which is a simple fix, but I suspect the definition may also need tweaking (specific to the "alt-right" [itself a propaganda term, or as someone put it recently, a "valenced" term]? no, I suspect it's also used by e.g. open white supremacists/Nazis and, in the other direction, maybe general trolls, even e.g. some left-wing ones) and I further suspect that cuck#Verb probably needs to be expanded with a sense along the lines of "to make into a cuck [noun sense 3]", at which point the supposed adjective "cucked" may just be the verb form already listed in the entry ("past tense of cuck"). - -sche (discuss) 18:05, 10 March 2020 (UTC), edited - -sche (discuss) 09:08, 1 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Now that there is a verb sense at cuck to cover this kind of usage, is cucked really an adjective? - -sche (discuss) 09:12, 1 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
More at Wiktionary:Tea_room/2020/October#cucked. Plenty of uses on Reddit. It seems to have entered the incel lexicon. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 17:58, 12 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
We have got a sense slang, to weaken or emasculate which probably puts us ahead of the OED (admittedly there are no citations, ha). To me this removes the need for an adjective, in the same way that a verb say repair doesn't require an adjective repaired to explain "a repaired clock". I don't know the currently fashionable grammar rules but even if the adj is supposed to be separate, we won't help ourselves by rewriting the verb line as an adj for every verb ("a reformatted hard disk").

Said-to-be-offensive ux can be removed now, a better version is on the main entry. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 22:42, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
