What is Cute

[Kitsune]

I've got absolutely nothing against minifob (or most other infants for that matter), but I await my sound beating in my declaration: until they reach a certain age, babies are most certainly not cute. Newborns, especially, are only considered cute by the parents that produce them -- the creatures are alien looking in their wrinkly, smooshed-up faces, deformed skulls, and blank stare. Until their age defines them as "children", the actions of babies alone often negate any cute properties they might have gentically aquired: the chubby little face, fatty arms/legs, and oversized eyes cannot compete with the basic function of turning food into drool, poo, vomit, and screaming.
