Babygirl

Babygirl is an aesthetic taken from the BDSM subgenre of DDlg(daddy dom little girl). Babygirl encompasses sweet and innocent imagery and attitudes that give the adult wearer an overall childlike feel. This aesthetic is similar to the soft girl or kawaii style. The Babygirl aesthetic is inspired by Soft Girl, Erokawa, and Coquette, but can vary from Babycore to Bubblegum Bitch or Bimbocore to E-Girl or Pastel Goth. Often this can cross over with bratty attitudes and behavior; this means the sweet and submissive nature can morph into teasing, pouting, tantrums, entitlement, and a compulsion to challenge others. 
These childish themes allow the person to release typical adult stressors and fall into a more easy and comfortable state of mind as a stress relief technique sometimes known as age regression. Although, this aspect in its depth is not required or utilized by all in the community and is reliant on individual preference.
The main purpose of this aesthetic, seperate from the sexual part, is to allow adults to feel and reclaim childhood wonderment and comfort, and to also overcome obstacles from abuse (similar to Traumacore's purpose) and heal while still maintaining a more matured sense of style and dignity. Be advised when searching terms related to this aesthetic as the results will show explicit content aimed at adults 18+.

===Baddie Babygirl===
Unlike the "Babycore" side of the Babygirl, this aesthetic is less babycore and more bubblegum bitch. This means it's less cutesy and more chic. Baddie Babygirls may be more bratty, but still childlike at heart. This type often has visuals relating to makeup, playgrounds, Barbie dolls, and Bratz. 
====Fashion====
Similar to Barbiecore with more Baddie and Bimbocore influence.

*Tights

*Cotton candy, lollipops, and bubblegum

===Dark Babydoll===
This the Babygirl style that tends to prefer darker colors than the typical Babygirl would enjoy. Often darker imagery is associated with this side as well, like weaponry, chains, and cute devil-esque figures. They may act like brats like the Baddie side would yet can still be sweet and small. This can encompass everything previously stated about Babygirls, just with darker colors and themes, although pinks and light colors are still used. This is similar in style to E-Girl, Pastel Goth, and sometimes Kinderwhore or Morute, with visuals stemming from these as well. This can include weapons with sparkles, nighttime, pink-hued photographs, roses, chains, and much more. 
====Fashion====
*Dark Sweaters
*Dark miniskirts/skater skirts
*Thigh high socks
*Fishnets
*Chunky heels or Mary Janes
*White sneakers
*Doc Martens and chunky boots
*Chains
*BDSM/bondage inspired fashion
*Anime inspired fashion and character shirts
== Criticism ==
Criticism of the Babygirl aesthetic primarily centers on concerns about its potential romanticization of pedophilia. This criticism arises from the aesthetic's association with ageplay and power dynamics, where a dominant caretaker assumes a parental role over a submissive partner adopting a childlike persona. Critics argue that this dynamic, despite being consensual among adults, may inadvertently contribute to the sexualization of childlike attributes. 
The use of terms like "babygirl" has been criticized for blurring the lines between a consensual adult dynamic and darker themes associated with incest and child sexual abuse. Some critics fear that the aesthetic may create a dangerous scenario, particularly when it comes to underage individuals participating or being exposed to the sexualized elements associated with the aesthetic. Babygirl is sometimes likened to the controversial Nymphet aesthetic, where concerns about the sexualization of minors also come into play.
Despite these criticisms, members of the babygirl community emphasize the importance of consent, safety, and aftercare, distancing themselves from any association with pedophilia. The majority of participants argue that the aesthetic is a form of consensual adult roleplay that centers around trust, vulnerability, and healing, rather than endorsing inappropriate relationships with minors.
