The diminutive ending '-chen' does not make this word friendly or affectionate. Here, it has a derogatory effect, so the form must not be understood as a sign of affection.

He called his neighbor a slut and intended to hurt her with the insult.
A typical pattern is 'jemanden als Flittchen beschimpfen' (to call someone a slut). The person affected is in the accusative, and after 'als' (as), 'Flittchen' appears here without an article.
In den Kommentaren wurde die Schauspielerin als Flittchen beschimpft.
The actress was called a slut in the comments.
'Jemanden für ein Flittchen halten' (to consider someone a slut) conveys a person's derogatory judgment. The accusative follows 'für' (for); this pattern can also be used to express a rejection of that judgment.
Nur wegen ihrer Kleidung hielt er sie für ein Flittchen.
Just because of the way she dressed, he considered her a slut.
