Honestly, I give a shit. I expressed it as my personal opinion and I did not require anyone else to share that opinion. I even said it was ok to label it NTR. So, explain to me exactly how a person can be cuckold by someone they are not in a relationship with? According to dictionary definitions, the Cuckold is involved in an intimate relationship--usually a husband or boyfriend--with the woman who is cucking him.
So, I don't know why you are so butthurt by my personal opinion and feel the need to "explain" to me how you think NTR is defined or how you believe Google translate defines it.
Fight nice kids, lest you be sent to stand facing the corner in time-out.
It looks like you're talking past each other, cause you're focusing on different words with similar but distinct meanings.
The problem is that of being lost in translation. Sure, the closest equivalent term to 'netorare' in English is 'cuckold', but I think we can all agree that
they're just not equivalent or synonymous terms. If you were drawing a Venn diagram, 'cuckoldry' and 'netorare' would have some overlap, but neither would be wholly inside the other.
Netorare is focused largely on the fixation of loss, the pain of having someone you love (even if it is not reciprocated or codified) taken away. While it can take place with a couple, it is also a way for incels to partake in something cuckoldry adjacent
; sad, one sided, and forever alone. Even here, the humiliation angle is actually optional; one can respond to a lovers theft with sadness, anger, or even excitement (although that can start to drift into
Netori territory).
Cuckoldry requires an established relationship to work,
but the fixation on pain and loss is not. Hell, not even the presence of humiliation is mandatory,
cuckoldry can be both performative and consensual. There are versions of cuckoldry that are basically an open relationship or swinging, but only for the one partner; with the 'cucked' one getting off vicariously (indeed that is the whole of the 'Cuckqueen' kink). The whole breeding bull and cuck song and dance can be just that, song and dance; in a way that netorare can't be.
Cheating is also an optional aspect to both. Netorare of an established relationship is cheating by definition, but again, netorare doesn't require an established relationship. Likewise cuckoldry can also be cheating if done without the consent of both partners, but that doesn't preclude scenarios where both partners do consent.
Voyeurism is another optional trait for either. It is possible for the one being 'cucked' or 'stolen from' to view the offending intimate interaction without those engaging in it being aware they are being viewed, or that subsequently the said person is now 'in the know' as to the nature of the relationships involved. But if the person doing the spying engages in it because they enjoy it, whether the action they're viewing is netorare, cuckoldry, or cheating, they're engaging in voyeurism.
As it turns out, this shit is complicated with lots of grey areas, and not everything is going to fit neatly into compartmentalized little boxes with universally applicable labels.
So is this game cuckoldry? Doesn't look like it. But is it netorare? Almost certainly. The two terms just aren't equivalent.
Alright class, you've been good, so get back to doing whatever it was you were doing before this...
