Cuckolding doesn't imply consent. In fact it pretty specifically implies that the man doesn't know it. The word has been in the English language for almost a thousand years, whereas the fetish is relatively new.

Fun fact: giving someone "bunny ears" by putting two fingers behind their head used to be referred to as "the horns of the cuckold", and it meant that you were saying that person's wife had been unfaithful.

He wrote "cucked" which is modern slang

So? The definition is the same.

You can look these things up before you comment.

Why on earth would I look up the original definition for a word when someone used the slang that derived from it and I already knew both definitions?

That's just turning the adjective into a verb. It's literally the same thing. This is a common practice in the English language. It doesn't change the meaning, only how it's used in a sentence. If someone "cucks" you, that's them doing the action that makes you a cuck(old).

Bunny ears are the index and middle finger. The horns are the index finger and pinky.

Depends on the country. Bunny ears have historically also been the horns of the cuckold.
