Like what would they expect women who are built like that to do with that information, should they just resign themselves to being forever alone because apparently anyone who finds them attractive has to be some some weird creep that must be avoided?

Wait, there are people on here who actually believe this?

That was the subject of a wild post that got linked here, uh was it sometime last year? I can't remember if anyone actually took the side of the person in the post, but I remember it being a very long thread so it was either a slop feeding frenzy or a struggle session.

I will mention that that seems to be a somewhat common complaint that women with more childlike figures have, that they have repeated bad experiences with guys who are treating them as "a legal alternative" and pushing age play on them or just being kind of creepy and as a result are immediately suspicious of anyone who's into them.

Although "repeated bad experiences with guys" is also a normal straight woman thing.

Sorry, but I don't buy this. This sounds like something that only exists on the internet. Or it's something that exclusively USAmerican men do because they suffer from some particular kind of brain rot.

There was a documentary (vice, I think?) with a woman with a genetic disorder that makes her look like tween. She says dating is really hard because there's tons of creeps who are attracted to her only because she looks like a child, and the few good men she meets are always on edge about being seen having a romantic relationship with someone who looks like a child.

This is an extreme case, but all this to say that it happens.

There's a difference between "This is a woman who I am attracted to, and she has x and y features that you could call neotenous if you really wanted to" vs "I specifically have a sexual attraction to more neotenous women"

Yeah, like, if you find yourself dating someone who looks young, that's one thing. If your "type" is young-looking women, that's more suspicious.
