    These days it’s more of a general term that implies vague queerness

    No, that’s not what twink means.

      Why don’t you list the definition you’re operating under so we can skip the talking past each other argument. I was saying twink in it’s modern usage is more of a vibe than strict “gay cis male early twenties with low body hair and body fat”. I wasn’t saying that sentence is the entire definition of twink, so you’re right that’s not what twink means.

          And twunk: twink and a hunk, a twink with muscles, but still hairless. A twank on the other hand… twank is no good. That’s a twink and a skank. Essentially just a ragdoll being passed around from twink, to twunk, to bear, to otter.

          It’s very difficult to maintain the lifestyle of a twank-verstile cause this often leads to a lot of self-hatred and denial, especially among the religious or political types, so they try and realign their sexual orientation through therapy.
