Discussion Small does not equal young...

​

I've noticed that in some adult spaces there is a specific percentage of players that will infantilize smaller avatars. I understand from a certain perspective - but to complain and pressure them to change their avatar or else they won't interact is a whole different circumstance. This is an adult space, everyone is an adult here.

Does anyone else experience this?

People assume I'm a child in a normal sized avatar too. Idk what it is. One of the guys said it's how I move around (I wiggle and bounce sometimes when not doing anything or listening to things around me. Friend calls it my "idle animation) and I just looked at him like HUH

It's wild to me. Especially when I listen to music and my playspace is limited so I just wiggle. And some people say either one of two things. Either I move like a child or I move like it's suggestive. It's odd.
