Meatcuck

Definition: A pejorative term describing an individual, typically a man, whose masculinity or personal identity is heavily tied to meat consumption but is entirely dependent on industrial supply chains to procure it. The term critiques the lack of "authenticity" or "dignity" associated with directly obtaining meat, such as through hunting or butchering, while outsourcing the labor and moral burden. Etymology: Derived from "meat" and "cuckold," implying subjugation or compromised autonomy. Extended Usage: Highlights the contradiction in individuals who equate meat-eating with strength or dominance while disconnected from the effort that might justify such pride. It critiques performative masculinity undermined by reliance on systems they claim to reject. Personality Traits: Performative Strength: Glorifies meat as a symbol of toughness without direct involvement in obtaining it. Moral Inconsistency: Ignores ethical concerns of factory farming while romanticizing meat as "natural." Cognitive Dissonance: Dismisses vegetarians or vegans as "less manly" despite reliance on supply chains they’d otherwise scorn. Hyperbolic Disdain: Uses meat consumption as a badge of pride or dominance in debates.
