"Cucked" as unwittingly hosting someone else's values

increasingly appreciating "cucked" as meaning "you unwittingly let someone else swap their values/perceptions/models in instead of yours"

goes all the way back to the etymology of cuckoo birds hiding their eggs in other birds' nests for free childcare which is ofc where "cuckhold" (adultery) comes from, whence "cucked"

it's kind of an insult but frankly I've also been finding it liberating to notice ways I've let myself be cucked and can now stop doing so

this is in a deep sense what "cucked" means; my naming of it here is not a change or an assertion, but an observation of the essence of the word

@Malcolm_Ocean @zestular Woah, that's weird. Without having seen your post, I recently used "cucked" the exact same way you describe. One of my main issues with religion is the moral cucking by an obviously flawed scripture.
