If hoyo wrote him explicitly as a kid I'd like him. But it's really uncomfortable for me to like the character when he's so oversexualized and everyone attacks you for saying he looks like a kid and it's weird for grown adults to be attracted to him.
Cuz I love kids tbh. I have a C6 fishl. I do not like hoyo making characters that look like their minor characters and giving them adult ages/putting them in adult situations.
