To add to the discourse, because a lot of you gays stepped into the conversation to add absolutely ZERO value......

The twink trope is rooted in pedophilia.

I’m not sure it’s quite understood how self-realized a lot of these ppl are. To be more critical, or rather anecdotal, a lot of the gay men ive known with this attraction toward smaller built, younger, skinny, (more often than not, white) men are playing into a ubiquitous role -

of patriarchy.

Understanding this role men have perpetuates their resentment of bodies seen as non-controlable.

Much like imperial or ‘traditional’ feminity, bodies that are in proximity to whiteness, youth, and historically controllable groups are immediately fetishized.

Not arguing w white ppl or ppl that aren’t actually invested in understanding this paradigm lol.

also: my block button game today is sexy!

lastly this is coming from a twink! if you want to tell me to get therapy that’s okay! just send me money bc im homeless $ayynicko

the WHITE gays purposefully neglecting what i said. i didn’t say you couldn’t reclaim it. im speaking strictly about the trope and behavior of men from a queer theory lens. unless you want to disestablish decades of BIPOC conflict literature in 280 characters please fuck off https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">
