It looks like a stylized cartoon character. It could represent a person of any age, depending on context. I know adult women who would commission something like that for their avatar and say “look, it’s literally me!”
What about that image makes you think “this is literally a 9 year old, imagine being attracted to this, disgUSTING”?
It looks like a cartoon character - I could easily see it as representing an adult or a child, and the easiest determiner would be comparing it to other characters from the same thing.
Attraction to cartoon characters is always going to be pretty weird. Trying to lump the stigma of paedophilia on that too is a bit pointless IMO.

Look at the character I posted, does that look like a 29 year old to you? Or underaged?
If people are attracted to that they have issues
