When I see these uber cute images I just kinda imagine a real human in my mind and they come out looking my age (mid twenties). As a fan of people playing with their gender and presentation and posting pictures of it, though, the youngest looking person Ive seen is 35… So all of those 20 year olds better keep taking care of themselves.
But the features that are present are round faces, bangs in face, oversized sweater, wristbands, denim overalls, etc which all kind of allude to children’s features and fashion. I’m not saying it was wrong to make this or post this, it’s a cool image, I just feel no attraction to it and therefor the caption has comically failed.
Because children can wear hoodies without them necessarily fitting, it becomes a great budget option to clothe them. Here is a random photo I literally just pulled from the internet:
I’ve stopped responding to most of you, but I like your comment especially so I’ll say: if the hoodie were my only talking point then maybe you would have some credibility in my eyes. I made a statement of preferences and all of you attack it, quite ironic for such a persecuted demographic. If so many things with such an obvious conclusion are simply coincidence, I don’t care either way. As a beholder I saw youth and it was unattractive, but feel free to discuss it amongst yourselves for all eternity.
Cool, great observation, but do you not see the many children wearing them in the image above your comment? Any examples of adults wearing it does not dismiss the fact that it’s popular attire for children.
I totally understand this, because we often attribute features that are either androgynous or culturally considered feminine (but especially androgynous features) with prepubescence. So you’ve got the rounded faces and lack of secondary sex characteristics that we would associate with older people, plus fashion that could easily be considered “younger,” and despite probably being intended to be 20 or so, they look much younger.
As somebody who’s got that scruffy white Jesus look going on but doesn’t have a square jawline and often wears hoodies, I’ve more than once been mistaken for a high school/college student - even by high school students no less - despite being in my 30s. Being hit on by college kids almost 10 years younger than you is an awkward experience I would not wish on anyone. As is having your mom be mistaken for your grandmother.
The wrist bands, denim overalls, and very oversized sweater in addition to the small frames and round faces all allude to a younger age. The far right is an outlier of the group.
Did you know that when trans people go through second puberty, which many do in their 20s, they often take up teenage aspects of their chosen gender they missed out on? So things like wrist bands and denim overalls. Very oversized sweaters are also a trans staple when you’re not sure how you feel about your body. On the small frames, you’ve just discovered the fact that there’s actually a fair bit of fatphobia in femboy culture. As for the round faces, well you see, this is a cartoon and that is a particular art style people often use.
I’m not into Children, sorry.

Cartoons have missing features, so it leaves room for your own interpretation of it. Isn’t it wonderful?

They look like early teens.
No they don’t?

excuses until the cows come home.
I literally have trans friends in their 30s who still dress exactly like this.
Edit: Fuck, even I’ve got a pair of overalls and sometimes wear them with my hair up in pigtails ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cool thats great, happy for youuuuu~
I think that’s dumb and they all very obviously look like they’re in their 20s 🤷♀️.
That’s a fair opinion.
fun fact !! people can wear oversized sweaters at any age due to a multitude of reasons
I think you interpreting the characters in the image says more about you than it says about the artist tbh
It says that I don’t like children.
