If you call Genshin's shotas this word in English, even the obvious shotas (Mika, Gorou, Xingqiu etc etc), the western fandom will jump down your throat for "sexualizing minors" or whatever they're screeching about on twitter these days. So even people who do view the unclear ones like Scara, Kinich like shotas will refrain from calling them so.
