Homophobia may be too far, but I do think the incorrect definitions can lead to homophobic stereotyping. I understand the writer is queer themself, and was likely oversimplifying for Kotakus non-queer readership.

Did you seriously just essentialize all twinks as bottoms and twunks as bottoms pretending to be tops??

It is illegal to cut down trees without the proper permits and permission.
