What is cuckface?
On December 26th, 2017 an anonymous 4chan user speculated that open-mouthed smiles were a signal of submission and being "lower in the social ladder" according to “research on non-human primates.” Another user replied that the smile should be called a "cuckface" as a spin on the duckface facial expression.
Since then, it has steadily trickled into online communities under a variety of aliases: “Cuckface,” “Nu-Male Smile,” and “Soylent Grin.”
Now, Soy is a food that extremist, misogynistic subcultures have linked with weakness, feminism, and beta status. There’s also the debunked claim that soy products increase men’s estrogen levels to the point of growing man boobs. Put these conspiracies into a virtual blender and you get an unimpressive slang term to insult any male you think is a snowflake for smiling too big in his selfies. Some men have taken it a step further, claiming Soy Face is the sign of a cuck or a simp.
If you guessed the Soy Boy and subsequent Soy Face memes were concocted by basement-dwelling shitposters, you’d be correct.
Basement dwelling shitposter (proud MRA or any other subset of the manosphere) : Men who identify themselves as feminists are all soyboy beta cucks. Just look at their miserable "Cuckface". Ain't no real man supports feminism.
