Tbh the way people on this website(/presumably other websites too but this is the one on which I see strangers opinions most often) talk about twinks soooooo derogatorily really Does make me super uncomfortable. It feels really homophobic in a way I haven't been able to nail down precisely

But just like. Always using twink as a derogatory thing and undesirable both to be or to want. Not really outright saying twinks aren't real men but IMPLYING it through comparisons to Real Men that are Big and Strong And Hairy. Like okay? You want big muscle men? You and every mainstream media in existence...? Why are people pretending that hating twinks is subversive. Why are people pretending that twinks are widely seen as the best sort of man.

And like it's EXPECTED for men to be able to grow lots of body hair and to get lots of muscle and be thick and sturdy and strong. And men are shamed for not being hairy enough and they are shamed for being twiggy and WHY are you doing it MORE but using gay words. Saying bears are sooooooo great but twinks are sooooo icky doesn't magically make you Not body shaming a group of people for Exactly The Reasons They Are Already Bodyshamed

Idk. Bwah. This isn't even me being firsthand butthurt bc I don't actually think I would be seen as a twink? But I am so tired of feeling like a fake gay and looked down on for not really being very into the typical male beauty standards

#ALSO when twinks get insecure about the twinkiness and insisting their bodies are bad for xyz #like NO!!!! you would be GREAT to cuddle. i will be your bubble wrap #AND I get wanting to do body positivity for fat men!!!! i agree!!!! this is a good thing #but we dont have to limit that to only the hairy manly ones okay #fat people that dont play up the gender expectations can still be hot Oh Kay #im just. tired of this idea that twinks are normative and we need less of them #especially because people just love to hold up a guy with broad shoulders and abs as their twink in question #i dont really feel comfy using the f slur but also . it is really the only way besides twinks to make this point so #if a homophobe would take a look at a guy and go Ew Fag then you going Ew Twink because of the exact same features just seems!!!!#well!!!!!!!! not good!#i was gonna post this on main but then it got long and cranky and im still cranky and >:(#twinks deserve better.#also i always feel like an imposter fake gay for liking dainty men #especially also with crushes being really rare its like. up until year n half agoish mayyyybe? id keep questioning well what if im actually #straight or aro because i just. do Not understand the thirst for 99% of famous men #i just see so much constant negativity for twinks and never any positivity and it makes me SAD #do people forget that real men can also be skinny and have thin body hair??? or even?? shave it????? and not just animated guys
