fandom nd ppl in general waaaaay overuse the word ‘twink’ for characters that term should definitely not apply to. johnny joestar is not one such case.
#kakyoin is not a twink. johnny joestar most definitely is. just give him some arm muscles thats all I ask#I see a lot of ppl complain abt how the fandom ‘twinkifies’ johnny but unfortunately he is the only character in part 7 I think ‘twink’#would actually apply too…#I feel like I just kicked a hornets nest but its my blog so whatever#its not morally wrong or whatever to call johnny a twink its what hes drawn as for the majority of sbr’s run it’s what he is.#I feel like a lot of the sentiment behind ‘anti-twinkism’ is like how much the term has been overused#and is generally slapped on to characters when fandom wants to declare said character as girly or a bottom or whatever#and therefore ‘weak’ and other stupid gender norm stuff#so I understand ppl’s ire with characters being called ‘twinks’ in that sense#but being a twink is not a bad thing. and beyond that being androgynous is not a bad thing. its also not a bad thing for a man#to express vulnerability / emotional expression / moments of weakness#or other characteristics that have been shoved in the ‘feminine’ gender norm box. there’s literally nothing wrong#with having ‘feminine’ characteristics. unless (gasp) there’s something undesirable about ‘feminine’ characteristics…#araki seems to grasp that sooo why is everyone else so far behind… who said that#not that anyone would be misogynistic in fandom spaces or anything. pfft. yeah sounds crazy I know#ugh im so not qualified to talk about this#vent post#I don’t want to be woke anymore im exhausted#sbr#steel ball run#johnny joestar#to reiterate (because I know what fandom is like): this is my opinion.
