壹苹派生活美语　可爱侵略性：可爱到……好想捏爆！

　　Cute aggression is more than just a personal feeling. It also plays a role in society. In many cultures, cuteness is celebrated. For example, Japan’s “kawaii” culture emphasizes cute characters, objects, and designs. People aren’t shy about expressing playful aggression toward these items. Hugging a stuffed animal tightly or squealing at its cuteness are common reactions. On social media, cute aggression is everywhere. Videos of tiny animals or babies often go viral, with people leaving comments like, “I can’t take how cute this is!”

　　可爱侵略性不仅是个人感受。它还在社会中有所影响。在许多文化中，可爱是受到赞扬的。例如，日本的「卡哇伊」文化强调可爱的角色、物品和设计。人们不羞于对这些事物趣味地表达侵略性。紧紧拥抱绒毛玩偶或因它的可爱而尖叫都是很常见的反应。在社群媒体上，可爱侵略性处处可见。小动物或婴儿的影片经常广为流传，人们会留言说：「这么可爱我受不了！」
