At some point, for story purposes, I had to give her a baby form and came up with this.
Needless to say, her forehead doubled in real state value and she looks even more serious.

What is the result? The potential contrast of putting her through unfortunate situations doubles as well, thus my urge to draw her on the cat costume just for how ridiculous it looks.
People love dressing their pets AND babies in ridiculous clothing, don't they?
To me it's some degree of cute aggression, but very mild.

Having said all that, I do think artists like the one OP posted are overdoing it.
It's harmless, it raises a lot of sympathy (and thus popularity), but it feels off that someone would constantly bully her characters without ever getting a break.
Such artists seem to enjoy not just the contrast, but the vicarious feeling of being humiliated in a controlled environment.

I'm no psychologist so I wouldn't dare giving a diagnosis, but too much cute aggression is not a good look.
And albeit I don't think this is a fetish, it is an "extreme" version of a taste in character/storytelling, just like people drawing monstertits are the extreme version of people who simply like tits. I believe everyone enjoys cute aggression to a mild degree. And why everyone sympathizes with a pug, as ugly as it is.
