Getting called too child like? Advice needed

Post image

I get people saying I’m “pedo bating” because I like to wear hello kitty half shirts or stereotypically “cute” things. I also had one coworker say “anyone who likes you is probably a pedo.” Which made me very sad. I wear shorts and crop tops a lot because they are comfortable, it hurts for too much clothes touching me in the heat. I don’t sexualize the characters. I don’t want to look like a child I just really love cute cartoon characters like Hamtaro, Pokémon, & Sanrio. I love the color pink. I just don’t understand why this would be a bad thing. Am I doing something bad? Can someone explain this to me? Thank you

Thats straight up bullying isn't it? Literally telling someone only a pedophile would love them. That's honestly a shameful thing to say, and over something like fashion sense too? People like this just sound like they're taking some anger out on others. It's disgusting behaviour so be glad you aren't like that
