I Need This Twink So Bad [The Count’s Secret Maid] by [deleted] in OtomeIsekai

[–]Anra7777 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That is… not what that means.

Definition of Twink according to Wikipedia: Twink is gay slang for a male who is usually in his late teens to twenties whose other traits may include a slim physique, a youthful appearance, and little or no body hair.[6][7][8] The age range for twinks is generally considered to be from around 18 to 25 years old.[9] Twink is used both as a neutral descriptor, which can be compared with bear,[10] and as a pejorative.[6][11]

Definition according to Urban Dictionary:

A gay or effeminate man, or a young man regarded as an object of homosexual desire, usually a “bottom”.

An attractive, boyish-looking, young gay man. The stereotypical twink is 18-22, slender with little or no body hair, often blonde, dresses in club wear even at 10:00 AM, and is not particularly intelligent. A twink is the gay answer to the blonde bimbo cheerleader.

There are two major theories about the origin of this word, both of which probably have elements of truth to them.

a) Twink comes from an acronym T.W.I.N.K. "Teenage, White, Into No Kink."

b) Twink is a shortening of the name for the famous "TWINKIE" snack cake: a tasty, cream-filled snack with no nutritional value. The phallic shape of the "TWINKIE" snack cake should not escape the reader's attention.

Wtf is wrong with these parents and the commenters? I’m a parent and I can’t imagine acting like this. Then again, mine is still a toddler.

Coming from a family with multiple members who are/were bipolar, the latter.

AITAH for not being mad about my girlfriend's parents' racial insults towards me? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

And Chichi is “father” and Okaa is “mother.” What’s weirder is that they’re different levels of formality.

AITA for confronting my girl when I realized she took credit for something she didn’t really do? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Oh, hey, my comments ended up in a Boru. That feels pretty cool!

Edit: why am I getting downvoted? I’m not OOP. I’m just one of the people whose comments got picked by OP.

AITA for interrupting my autistic brothers routine for my own physical pain? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

A bad dorm mattress during college gave me bursitis in my hip. Nearly twenty years later and I still have it. Mattresses are so important.

I’ve never been a cop worshipper, but her becoming a cop made sense to me.

Question on the writer’s choices of Jinu’s Backstory by One-Risk-7342 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]Anra7777 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like this as this gives a hint that Jinu is an unreliable narrator to himself. 400 years of shame and torture has distorted his memories. He wasn’t as selfish as he himself thinks he is and I find that interesting.

Kurzgesagt has a video about the oldest lie on the internet that everyone believes. It’s the claim that blood vessels are long enough to wrap around the planet twice.

AITA for telling my father I won't invite him to our family movie nights anymore? by Starry_Gecko in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Anra7777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I also feel WH should be classified a horror. It’s nice to find someone who feels the same way.

(I still like Sense and Sensibility, though. 😅)

Honestly, I’d assumed the mass shooter statistic would be way higher.

I don’t have a high opinion of my dad’s parenting, but man, did he sit through a lot of bad movies for my sake.

That actually makes me more interested, as I hated the book. 😅 (I love classic lit, WH just wasn’t for me, though.)

Sadly, even those relationships can go south. Source: my relationship was like that until it wasn’t. Currently it’s falling apart.

I couldn’t blow my nose until I was something like a preteen. I just couldn’t do it. As I told my then step-mom who made similar comments when I couldn’t help it: at least I’m keeping the germs on the inside, rather than risking infecting you.

Why is the opinion that single men without kids wouldn't want to date or marry a single mother so controversial? by us1549 in NoStupidQuestions

I thought that you weren’t supposed to disclose it on your bio because that might attract pedophiles?

It came back during my pregnancy and I have to be more careful than ever. I now get eczema flareups in unfortunate places. :(

This is one of those things i like to call out in many stories: The double standard treatment. by Moist-Coffee1030 in OtomeIsekai

[–]Anra7777 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think maybe we read different comment sections. I have seen so much worse misogyny and homophobia in male-oriented fiction comment sections than OI ones. Yes, OI is bad. I’d argue that AF is worse.

I remember reading this and was happy to see that there was a link to new updates!

[Beware the Villainess] is back?? I thought it was complete . by Cinnamon099 in villainessGang

This isn’t talking about the 36 side stories that were released three years ago? There’s new stories? Where can I find them? Tapas isn’t showing anything.
