About: Deliberately Cute Child   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

This is a kid who has all the stereotypically adorable childlike mannerisms: thumb-sucking, lisping, puppy-dog eyes, and so on. Really, though, they're just faking it all; they've figured out it's a good way to get what they want. Sometimes characters like this are Really Seven Hundred Years Old (and probably took the form of a small child precisely because it lends itself to being manipulative). On the other hand, they might just be kids who've figured out their elders' emotional cheat codes. In Japan, this often overlaps with the burikko, that is, a fake Kawaiiko.

Compare Kawaiiko, as well as the more sinister Enfant Terrible who just might use this to get away with their horrible deeds, and The Fake Cutie who does something similar despite being an adult. Contrast the genuinely adorable Cheerful Child. A favorite tactic of Little Miss Con Artist. Examples of Deliberately Cute Child include:
