For our community specifically:
Please remember that a "twink" is like literally just a body type/ a look. Like the original word was coined after Twinkies (like the food) and used originally to just describe a white blonde gay guy who's super skinny, hairless, and a bottom.
And yeah its evolved over the years, primarily cutting out the blond and white part (and also starting to include people other than just cis guys. cause it was originally just cis guys), but outside of jokes it does still mean a skinny gay/bi masc person who's hairless and probably a bottom. And it is a little weird to look at every single queer masc character and go "I think you're a <this word that means skinny and a bottom.>" And I know people will be like "Oh Ocie! This is more sexual than it actually means. Twinks don't HAVE to be bottoms"
They're named after twinkies because they're, and I quote, "full of cream."
