Interesting to see gay culture influencing straight culture for once.

okay, that buzzfeed article really stretches the definition of "twink"

not all lean, muscular guys are twinks. Twink mostly just applies to skinny, hairless guys with no or very little muscle tone

It really feels like that article was written for a school newspaper. Just how it reads, idk... Pretty terrible considering it's nyt.

Still written better than buzzfeed, but that isn't saying much LOL

Another trash article that attacks masculinity. The writer even comes right out and says it: "a new answer to the problem of what makes a man."

Another one to add to the pile of evidence that mainstream propagandists are trying to socially engineer widespread emasculation. "SEE guys, it's cool and trendy to be emasculated! It's 2018 get with the times!"

And further evidence that "toxic masculinity" is merely a smokescreen to attack masculinity itself: "But as women continue to use their voices to undo that legacy of toxic masculinity"

They are literally trying to rot our minds. They are not your friends. They want to see you ruined. They are enemies. Fuck them.

That being said, twinks can be hot.

I refuse to acknowledge twink as a slang term. I think we should all do that before it becomes a thing like swag.

Twinks, IMO, are guys that are at the very least of bisexual orientation, usually submissive, and have pronounced effeminate features. They're not necessarily on HRT, but they definitely look like they could pass for a woman if they applied makeup and wore women's clothing.

Actually, yeah, kinda like that. I didn't know I was bi at the time, but I did recall embarrassingly finding some of the guys kinda cute.

Imagine thinking that you have to be ripped to be hot. I guess Justin Bieber has always been considere uggo, and his hoards of female fans have been lying.
