Except that "adult fawn" is an oxymoron, fawns are literally not adult by definition. I think the trope would be a LOT better served if people didn't get fawn and faun confused, or if they called it "deerlock" or something, because fawn means "baby deer," so it's hard for me at least to not see it as having at least overtones of babyfur. Mind you, I'm not into shaming anyone for it either, it's all fictional so go for it, but "adult fawn" is a really odd term.

My understanding of it is that it was called fawnlock not to imply youth but because it just sounds catchier than "deerlock." There may have also been some initial confusion over whether he was supposed to be a faun or not, so fawnlock seemed to imply that both faunlock and deerlock could be included in the trope.

For my part, it never even occurred to me that fawn implied young. I just haven't seen that as even slightly inherent to the trope.

*coughs*

I'm just gonna leave (http://bennyslegs.tumblr.com/post/117726138245/fawnlock-probably-should-have-been-spelled) these (http://fawnlock.tumblr.com/ask-and-FAQ) here (http://bennyslegs.tumblr.com/post/25594376312/i-was-on-the-phone-to-my-friend-and-i-was-doodling).

(That last link is the first piece of Fawnlock fanart that was posted. You will note that the artist calls him "fawnlock" right from the start, but that he is very demonstrably an ADULT.)
