If you're not in a situation where you're actively expected to call a kid cute by the parent or guardian of said kid then you shouldn't be going around calling kids cute imho

If it's the one related to single person space prisons that I'm thinking of, then yes, it's a very much appreciated one.

You can call a child cute without it being weird until they are 11 years old.

10 years old and 364 days, okay. 11 years old, back off creep.


But it still depends how you say it.

adorable is a better, more neutral, term. Cute has sexual connotations.

I feel like you can call a kid cute or adorable and it's fine but if you continue talking about said kid afterwards then it gets creepy

Yeah I've heard lots of people call babies cute and not gotten a weird vibe.

Context matters.

In actual conversation you can tell by tone of voice.

Online you can tell by this:

I remember a few months ago there was an ad that you could come to such and such an indie show and meet Izzy and buy Izzy merch and pay $30 to hug Izzy. I thought at the time "this seems bad". And now, it seems I was right as it let people like this become emboldened.

My point here is this is all Bayley's fault.

It was bad. I thought I posted the ad in here, but it must have been in the WWE thread for whatever week it happened. Hopefully whoever lined up to pay the $30 was tricked into falling into an alligator pit.

"Step this way for the Izzy photo studio, please."

"But Izzy is over there, and this room is marked WARNING: Contains Three Lions!"

"And yet."

E: and yet perhaps it is izzy's dad whom should greet the lions, for deciding that he must monetize his child's fandom regardless of how it affects her.

if you're gonna monetize your kid, which is gross but America making kids so loving expensive to raise leads to gross outcomes, letting randos hug your kid is pretty far down on the list of advisables.

Some people think its a laff to use known social network Twitter to pretend to be a (specific, actual) wrestler and cut promos on other RPers and announce alliances with them and occasionally use the fact that people can't tell you're not actually Sonya DeVille to get hundreds of well meaning dollars on GoFundMe.

The last time I went to a nxt taping quite a few people would go up to izzy and her family and take a picture with them before going to their seats, the family seems genuinely enthusiastic about the attention but the whole situation is so carny

I've never met and gret the first family of NXT but izzy's mom and I had the same mindset about which segments to skip and head for a beer, her order is two bud light tall boys btw.
