It feels like it just popped up everywhere overnight. Accusations of cuckolding, questions about cuckolding, you even hear cuckold (or "cuck") being bandied about as an insult. And it really feels like it came out of nowhere. I may have heard about cuckold fetishism one time before, in a Vice article about Donald Sterling (when he mentioned his jumpoff sleeping with black dudes, but not bringing them to his games). And it was fine, when it was contained to the darker corners of the internet, but now it's starting to leak into the parts of the internet I actually like, namely here.
How did this happen?

It spread out of Twitter, I think. Too many cases of guys looking foolish for having been cheated on under their nose.

It's always been a thing, just I think more people might be aware of the word for it. It's been a character assassination since antiquity.
Incidentally, when I was younger, I did not understand the actual context and thought it was "cluckold" because the man was henpecked, and had no idea of any sexual context to it. I just thought it was some chicken thing.

I learned this word while playing Crusader Kings 2. Didn't realise it was still widely used.

I only see it in porn descriptions. It is a very popular set up.

I remember I lent my friend/podcast co-host Josh my copy of the Chris Benoit book "Ring of Hell". He got to th point in the book where Nancy had left Kevin Sullivan for Chris, and Kevin had been written off television by losing a retirement match. Sullivan is referred to as something like "a drug addicted, forcefully retired, publicly cuckolded professional wrestler". Josh mentions how he never heard the term "cuckold", but by context in which it was used it reminded him of the Spanish term (or at least Puerto Rican dialect of Spanish, Josh is Puerto Rican) "Cabrón". Which is a term I immediately fell in love with, because I just love the way it rolls off the tongue. So much so that I want to write a buddy cop movie starring the two of us in which Josh uses the catchphrase "I work alone, cabrón!" Ironically enough, Josh's dad had never heard the phrase "cuckold" before and had to have it explained to him that "cuckold" was the English version of "cabrón". And now he's obsessed with the word cuckold!

There isn't anything new about the world's fascination with cuckolding...always and forever, that will be a thing.

Cuck porn is a great case study in extreme racism. I don't know how anyone could get off watching that

f***ing hate the word and everyone who uses it outside of the proper context. It's a meme at the moment just like how calling everyone and everything autistic or gay used to be a meme.

It's not a meme. It's a lifestyle! Possibly a trend

It's a shitty meme regurgitated by the neckbeards over at Reddit and 4chan. "Cuck" is basically the "gay" or "autist" over there.

Why is anything that is slightly popular or relevant on the internet always called a "meme"?

I know what it is, but I haven't seen it used gratuitously or really at all in the circles I run in.
