Instead of watching Red One, @k8eb is now forty five seconds into Breath of the Wild.
In the first ten seconds of the game she yelled out "oh he's grown up now! Wait, Link is a twink in this one?"
It feels like @researchfairy is right here in the room with us
(wait, heck, is "twink" a slur? It's not, right? Our frame of reference would give us no way of knowing. 😬)
@gnomon It’s on the same continuum as ‘faggot’ though at the ‘more acceptable’ end of the spectrum, in that: it’s often (though not always) fine in-group, but often (though not always) problematic when applied externally. It can also be reductive, and fwiw, no twink of my acquaintance likes it or embraces the label.
@chrisphin huh, that is a very different tonal interpretation than it seems to have around Toronto. Thank you, I'll bear that it mind and choose it more judiciously. I really appreciate the insight.
