If you aren't up on medieval slang, it was a 17th century word for a guy who's wife is cheating on him. (As in, he can't get it up.) So this explains how low the rightwing nut jobs have gone, right?

Appropriated as a favored word (for some reason) by the alt-right in particular, it connotes something kinda similar to 'snowflake' in their world ...

In their mind, as a husband, if you can't control your wife, you are weak. And the most extreme case of a husband's weakness is evidenced by a wife who cheats on her husband, the cuckold. So if you want to portray someone as a week loser who people walk all over, you call him a "cuck."

From GQ....

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gq.com/story/why-angry-white-men-love-calling-people-cucks/amp

The cultural importance of the cuckold in America is rooted in racism: in pornography, the wife of the cuckolded (almost exclusively white) husband is most commonly sleeping with African-American men, meant to provide an additional layer of humiliation if the white husband sees that man as “inferior.” In the world of pornography meant to elicit humiliation as an erotic sentiment, cuckold porn takes advantage of its viewers’ racist perceptions.

After the Civil War, the white supremacist movement radicalized its supporters with the fear of black men raping white women. Even Shakespeare evoked the sexual element of racial angst: in Othello, Iago attempts to pit Desdemona’s father against his Moorish son-in-law by evoking very specific imagery: “Even now, now, very now, an old black ram / Is tupping your white ewe.”

.

In NJ, if you want to get your ass kicked, as in 'Zero to Fucked Up' in one sec., call a Hispanic male a Cabrone.

It pretty much means that the man is anything but one.

"Why Angry White Men Love Calling People Cucks:"

Its literal meaning references a submissive man sexually cuckolded by a woman. Now, it is a catch-all among the alt-right, in the dark corners of the internet where #feminismisacancer hashtags are a badge of pride and the real enemy is PC culture, where “cuck” has become shorthand for any perceived weakness, or rather, perceived reluctance to exploit strength.
