This is just a reminder that terms like Bear, Twink and many others like it aren't random terms created 5 years ago on TikTok, they're terms from the gay community with decades of story. Twink has been around since the 50s, bears were fighting against prejudice and were pro-body positivity groups since the 70s.
They're not TikTok slangs, they're not twitter language, not even porn categories they're part of gay men's history, of not just gay culture but also activism as well.
