But of course, guys who get off to the idea of their wife/gf humiliating them by cheating on them present a kind of different spin on cuckolding, ie it’s no longer a non-consensual term, but a consensual fetish.Įach to their own, but you can see why edgelord right-wing teenage trolls would see red at the idea of a man being willingly ‘humiliated’ by his wife / girlfriend by the act of her doing sex work for other men. But even then, a lot of cuckold porn hinges on the concept of cheating and humiliation of the husband / boyfriend, as opposed to hotwifing or non-monogamy, both of which hinge on mutual agreement. It started to take on a more consensual / mutual agreement meaning thanks to porn. Shakespeare’s Othello (a play about a dude who wrongly thinks his wife is cheating) uses the word ‘cuckold’ to mean adultery, not an open relationship or a fetish, or anything of that nature. Obviously it doesn’t really make sense as adultery, but it’s easy to see how the term began being used for men whose wives have cheated on them.Īnd that was the original meaning. ‘Cuck/cuckold’ originally comes from the word ‘cuckoo’, because cuckoo birds kick other birds’ eggs out of their nests and replace them with their own, so those birds end up raising their babies for them. Each conversation is supported by photographs, audio recordings, and videos made by the actual band members.Ībout to beat you in the worst-comment-I-ever-types-out-stakes: Here, the characters are facsimiles of real people.
The draw of becoming close to characters in this way is common in mobile games and visual novels, but BTS World is different. As well as generally chatting as the story unfolds, players are also able to communicate with band members via social media, texts, and phone calls. It puts the player in a position to “get to know” the band. How the mobile game BTS World escalates K-pop’s parasocial relationships I've heard that Korean Pop stars are in an especially vulnerable position because the companies that represent them encourage parasocial relationships between the fans and the stars, and that people can freak the fuck out when they find out their favorite Kpop star is dating. When people find out their parasocial target isn't this ideal they can freak the fuck out. This is why celebrities want their privacy. That's what happens when people think their favorite content creator is their friend. One person in that video said that Ian ruined their life. Parasocial relationships are a hell of a drug.
