    I’m partial to ‘Asmoncuckold’ as a derogatory spin on his nickname, even though it’s kind of right-wing coded. I do kind of believe that we should be stooping to their level insofar as insults go, so yeah

      Cuckoldry just isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s just a thing some people are into. It’s kinda like calling something “gay”.

        I agree that cuckoldry is not inherently bad, but the right wing sure believes that it is, and as such, it can be used to deride them.

        We need insults that actually sting against these people. If actual cucks feel severely mistreated by this use of the language, we can evaluate at that point.

          From my limited experiences, I found that explaining peoples actions in simple and easy to understand words is far more damaging to people who are generally awful or manipulative.

          Using insults or the latest trending buzz words against these people are not effective because those are the tools they themselves constantly use.

          Once you start explaining their actions to them in words that everyone can understand, they become extremely uncomfortable as they try to change topics or defend their actions. But never let them change the topic. Keep reminding them of their actions in words that everyone understands.

          Keep it short. Keep it simple. Keep it about their actions and not their words. Make sure as many people can understand why their actions are awful. This means yourself, the awful people and everyone around us.

          It’s entertainment on it’s own watching awful people getting awkward by reality being swung back into their face.
