What's "caponated"?

[throwanem]

Castrated, if you're trying way too hard (and not well) to avoid getting called on that overly emotive metaphor: a capon is a gelded rooster.

[bigfudge]

It also has the unfortunate resonance of being the word for a collaborator in concentration camps.

There is a key distinction and context: caponation has a productive purpose from the pov of farmers and their desired profits.

I gather the term of art is "caponization," but that's a cavil. For something that is not born with testes or indeed at all, to describe it with this metaphor is very silly and does nothing to elucidate whatever it is you're actually getting at.

[ilove_banh_mi]

A capon is a male chicken that has been neutered to improve the quality of its flesh for food.
