cuck A term of abuse that anti-feminists, men's rights advocates, racists, anti-gay bigots, white supremacists and right-wing conservatives use to ridicule liberal men, especially those who are gender-equality advocates, women's rights activists and LGBTIA activists.
Derived from the word "cuckold," the term is meant to imply that these liberal men (like heterosexual men whose wives have cheated on them) have been wronged by women and are too stupid to realize it; that they are weak, foolish, ridiculous and contemptible; and that they decline to adhere to the traditional stereotyped male gender role (the last of which, in the minds of the people using the slur, is a bad thing).
Like its close cousin "girly man," and most of the terms of abuse anti-gay bigots use against gay men, "cuck" is in essence a misogynist term, in that it insults men on the ground that they allegedly share traits (weakness, foolishness, inferiority, being worthy of contempt) that sexist people have traditionally associated with women.
The slur has become unhinged from its sex-related original meaning, because racist and ethnically biased conservatives have found it a convenient term of abuse to employ against liberal men in general, even when gender and sexual orientation politics are not at issue. That guy not only says he's a feminist, he's voting for Shrillary. What a cuck.
This is from urban dictionary- but I did have to look on the very last pages. It looks like someone is trying to change the dictionary by brigading the definition with spam.

It's also just used to talk about men who like to watch another man pleasure his wife, i.e. cuckold.
Also, I just looked on urban dictionary, and apparently on August 2nd, a bunch of people brigaded the site to troll Onision, who is some Youtube personality who seems to have pissed someone off.

Onision is an epic level cuck, up there with Wil Wheaton for self loathing and hating white males.
