Ahh, "tongue in cheek" doesn't come across so well in text, especially when you're not intimately familiar with your interlocutors.

A "/s" or "😛" goes a long way.

I know, lesson learned

I was going to say something similar yesterday, but I decided not to out of kindness. When you're in world and busy, it's fine to just go with a gut response, and the feel of the room (everyone else thinks the avi looks like a child, I (the land owner) should go with the flow) But on a forum, where you have ample time, giving a short response like that comes off as a bit rude (Always good to remember (on  both sides) that text can mean different things depending on how we assume the person might be saying it)

Constructive criticism: As Rowan said earlier, I think the big eyes thing is getting me. (Is that the "chibi" style head? The chibi aesthetic in general doesn't seem very adultifiable to me) Perhaps making the eyes smaller and closer together, and making the nose and mouth bigger would help a bit. Also, the dress. Nothing's wrong with frilly dresses on adults, but to me the bow in the center screams "Japanese school uniform".

The AV looks blatantly young and the message along with the picture was meant as a tongue in cheek way to try to cheer up the OP - "No effort was actually made, because no care is given".  The message certainly did not come across clearly for all and that's on me.  Sorry for the confusion there, but I'm not trying to make that AV look adult or anything of that nature.

If one is into freedom they simply acknowledge someone is a bigot, ignorant, or whatever and moves on. Everyone has the right to be stupid. The chaos of the free-market will solve the problem.

You're right, it does me no good to continue my exchange with Alwin.  I shall move on.

if you demand respect but not even think to give it.. you get what you deserve.

Where did you see me demand respect anywhere in the thread?

If someone doesn't contribute anything positive to my life, then I won't care whether they approve or disapprove how I appear in SL or what I do in general. 

You made a very respectful comment on what you would do as a landowner based on your own views, and got a similar respectful comment how someone else perceive said views.  You got what you deserved ❤️

sorry, but for me that doesn't look like a adult. I would eject and ban you from my adult region with adult objects everywhere.

Haha, no need to apologize.  For those a wee bit slower on the uptake, I spent just as much effort on making that AV looking adult as I care for and respect the views & feefees of other people on this matter - which is to say, none at all.

Here's a snapshot of how I look right now.  I've spent as much effort making sure it looks adult as I care for and respect other's people opinions:

If being perceived as a child really bugs you, try playing around with different AOs as well.  The right body language can contribute a lot to your perceived age.

If you use the default Kemono body and a simple outfit, you can probably keep the complexity to be lower than 30k.  Also just to add, the figures I gave above included hair as well.

I checked real quick just now and torso length can be edited on the default kemono av through system sliders, as well as quite a few other things.  Some other stuff on the default av, like breast size, cannot be edited and that's often why people go for the fitted torso add-on.  Depending on what stuff you want to adjust you might be able to just use the default kemono avatar without going for the add-on.

[For UTILIZATOR avatar users]

In my base Utilizator Kemono avatar in my favorite outfit from wretch, I've seen my avatar complexity hover around 30k.

Times when I was changing or demoing stuff and had the outfit removed, I remember figures of around 15-20k.  This is more or less naked with the default kemono avatar.

In the same Wretch outfit, but also using the fitted torso add-on, I've seen avatar complexity of maybe 55k-70k.

I hope this helps.  Good luck with your quest to turn a kemono av into an animesh waifu.
