For me, I find the Born Sexy Yesterday creepier. I'm one of those people who's short and babyfaced and regularly gets mistaken for being a lot younger than I am. So I tend to see that one as an extreme version of that, where as the Born Sexy Yesterday seems more predatory.

Wanting to reply to myself, it also depends on how hard the story makes sure you know they're an adult. Like I found Batman TAS Babydoll really tragic because they really pushed how she was an adult but looked like a child and it just broke her mentally.

I think also in Western stuff it gets acknowledged as weird and creepy in the story where as the Born Sexy Yesterday is treated as cute. Even if the character is literally only a few days old and chronologically extreme underage no one bats an eye because she looks capable of consenting. So it feels like kind of a "But I didn't know she was 12, officer! She looks old enough"

Sort of like if someone said they found Goofy sexy I wouldn't really be creeped out, but if they said they found Pluto sexy I would be. They're both cartoon dogs, but one's obviously capable of consent and the other acts like an animal.
