Just because Manda has naturally-sized boobs (and yes, they are naturally sized) and a natural skin tone (and yes, it is natural), she's underage?
This is the bias that comes from Athena and Adonis being the standards. If a male avatar isn't muscle-packed like a Norse god with a buzz cut, if a female avatar doesn't have a gigantic butt, gigantic boobs and long lush locks, if either doesn't have a deeper-than-deep tan like a Tamil after three weeks on a beach, they count as kids.
By the same standards, Mattie would be a kid, too. In fact, I remember someone criticising a party picture from old Stark because there were allegedly children present, all judging from the picture without actually having been at the party. One of the alleged "children" was Mathilda Stark. Curiously, nobody pointed that out until I did.
In fact, with the proliferation of Legacy and more extreme shapes, I expect standard Athena to count as a teen body before long and Athena Petite to be demoted to child body.
By the way: Everything in the picture was built by Manda. The whole sim is Manda's idea and Manda's work. I was there a while ago, and she gave me a tour.
I have been a Stark visitor since 2021. I was at old Stark's farewell party. I know Mattie, I know Niki, I know Manda, I know Artemis, I know Fiona. I don't have to judge Stark and its staff by pictures.
