Either this is just another case of psychological projection or there is something wrong with their ability to identify images on a neurological level. I mean, this isn't the first time this has happened. Wasn't it a certain game urinalist that said the Sorceress from Dragon's Crown looked underaged?

I think that was Jason Schreier.
I think there's a reason they think that and it's because of anime eyes and sometimes heads which tend to be quite big compared to the rest of the body, so they can sometimes have the proportions of a newborn. It's an artist choice to invoke cuteness and empathy. You will notice that Disney did it with their hero characters in cartoons.

Perhaps, but that's more charitable than I would have been. Neoteny aside, I don't know too many pre-pubescent girls with giant milkers and child-bearing hips.
