It's highly uncalled for too: especially by those ho called for resignment or other extreme measures. For ww , cute doesn't equal to unadult or childish. It's kinda hard to get that out of some people. They remain stuck into a sort of post puberty schtick where sweet-ish accents are for children and signs of violence and 'long threaded gameplay' got to be the adult thing.
You'd wonder which despicable crime is being commited by 'cute" if you see all the reactions about this subject.
