From a Vice article about the term "twink" , it's negative connotation within the LGBT community, and the individuals that are affected by it.
Quote:
"Because many homosexuals have internalized society's hatred for feminine gay men, being labeled a twink means you embody all of their self-loathing, even if you make their dicks hard in the process. The problem is that even though everyone talks about twinks, masturbates to twinks, and wants to **** twinks, we rarely ever hear from twinks themselves. To figure out what twinks think about the way they are fetishized and criticized in the gay community, I interviewed a bunch of young gay men in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They talked about how they feel about the term and why, as one twink told me, " Twink isn't a four-letter word.""

As a gay man, how does this term make you feel? Is it degrading or are these young men being over dramatic?
Discuss.
