Was Jean a cuck or was he only taking care of Cosette to make up for the times when he couldn't take care of his sister and her children while in prison?

according to ignorant memeposters like you, that still makes him a """"""""""cuck""""""""""
let's just ignore Valjean's heroism and virtue, as well as the social commentary in this brilliant novel so we can mastur- I mean, complain about interracial pornography

It wasn't any single reason, it's just the way things ended up happening.
Jean Valjean was redeemed by the Bishop, and vowed to live on the high road for the rest of his life. He made a promise to Fantine that he would take care of Cosette. This was when he was still the mayor and he had a lot of power to watch over the child. Obviously Champmathieu fucked that up for him, but he still made a promise. After saving her from the Thenardiers, he quickly fell in love with her, and she was literally the only thing in his life. From that point on, he wasn't making up for anything or keeping promises. He simply loved Cosette and wanted to give her the best life she could possibly hope to achieve, even to the point of relinquishing her to Marius.
Jean Valjean is one of the best written characters in literature. I won't have you calling him a cuck. He never even had a wife and probably died a virgin.

If anything Javert killed himself because he was a just man cucked by an unjust society. Dat anagnorisis.

He killed himself because he was a literal autist. He literally did not understand why Valjean didn't behave like a criminal. He couldn't fathom that someone could break the law but still be a good person. It broke his brain literally. Then he wrote a nonsensical letter to the police department and jumped off a bridge.
