Apparently, they’ve been available since 2014.

      There was some intense controversy behind it, same thing with .exposed (for obvious reasons). It’s shitty because it’s extremely overpriced, like 200$ or so for a year of registration. The company behind is quite scummy and advertises it to companies to buy it for PR purposes, so some buy it and redirect to their feedback page.

          Aw man, that’s kinda mean. But I sort of get where you’re coming from. A company owns exclusive rights to the .sucks TLD, so I guess in a way they’re profiting off of hatred. I just don’t really think it’s that big of a deal. Like, if I’m angry at something I’m not gonna buy a domain for it… Especially since these are so expensive. Barely anyone buys domains. Seems like it’s more tailored to marketing campaigns than anything.
