I know what a twink is, thanks.

It’s not a derogatory term, nor does it have a history of being used as one against the gay community. How is it anywhere close to the same as calling gay people gross and saying that a restaurant full of femboy hooters would make you feel unsafe? Saying LGBTQ people make you feel unsafe has historically been a way for people to legally murder LGBTQ people and get away with it by invoking the gay or trans panic defense, which btw, is still not banned in over 40 states to this day.

because here's the kicker: No such thing as doing something ironically. You're just doing it.

I mean I suppose if you yourself were homosexual, you could say it ironically. I think. It's too early for thinking

Suspending him is a necessary prerequisite to regressing your own player, bud.

It's used in a derogatory way of you say shut the fuck up twink, Just as it would be if you said the longer version "shut the fuck up young-looking gay man", or simply "shut the fuck up gay".

As the OP states he wasn't suspended for saying he was feeling unsafe, he was suspended for the two clips. I would say that posting the "ha Gay" clip, followed by the "gross" clip, which is what he was suspended for, is as bad as posting "stfu twink" which translates to "shut the fuck up young-looking gay man".

EDIT: Or well, maybe not AS bad, i don't like ranking derogatory shit, lol. Still bad.


Also pls don't suspend me. Then again apparently it isn't suspension worthy when you actually say it to someone, i guess i'm in the clear.

The word itself is not a slur, it has no history of being used in a derogatory or oppressive way. It's not the same as saying "shut the fuck up gay" for that exact reason. Twink doesn't 'translate' to anything, you can't just plug in a definition and call it derogatory when it's missing the history and experiences that make derogatory words what they are. It's a gay slang word that was put into use by the gay community and has generally mostly been used by the community. I'm not "ranking derogatory shit" it's just easy to see why one is suspension worthy and the other really isn't.

Well i mean, we can agree to disagree, i know there are several other people who also think that it's fucked up to say "stfu twink" because it is a term for a young-looking gay man, and telling someone to shut up and adress them as such makes it look like it's an attack, even if it's said in a playful way like it was now(which nobody who doesn't know that they are friends would). I've definitely heard people use twink as an insult on multiple occasions and had to look the word up when i was younger, so i guess maybe i'm just being influenced by real life events.

And i didn't imply that you were ranking, i was saying that i kind of did and i don't like doing it. And i wouldn't say its "easy to see", as i wrote earlier i know several people mentioning it being a bad look. But you do you.
