Hated Westerners who keep calling Asian cute faces as "infantalized". 

When Westerners dismiss Asian faces as "infantalized," they’re confusing a scientific concept with a colonial stereotype. What’s really happening is neoteny, the retention of youthful traits into adulthood, such as softer facial features, flatter faces, smaller jaws, and less pronounced brow ridges. These traits are the result of genetic mutations and sexual selection that occurred tens of thousands of years ago, not evidence of immaturity or underdevelopment.   
  
Infantilization, on the other hand, is a social prejudice: treating adults as if they are children, implying weakness or lack of agency. That’s a cultural bias, not biology. In fact, all humans are neotenous compared to our ape ancestors, we all kept baby-like traits like bigger brains and flatter faces as part of evolution. East Asians simply retained more of these features, which science shows are linked to higher sociability, adaptability, and even reproductive success. Moreover, cultural expressions like Japan’s kawaii culture celebrate cuteness as an aesthetic and playful attitude, not as immaturity.   
  
This is called psychological neoteny, where adults retain curiosity, playfulness, and flexibility, traits that are actually strengths in modern societies where adaptability matters more than rigid roles. So when Westerners label Asian faces as “infantalized,” they’re projecting outdated colonial stereotypes instead of acknowledging evolutionary science. The truth is simple: neoteny is biology, infantilization is prejudice. Appreciating these differences means respecting diversity rather than reducing it to condescension.
