Cute graphics are almost always strongly correlated with chill/simple/casual, although this is not always the case.

I wonder how many people would give something less casual a shot if its graphics were more cutesy. I know a lot of people are there for the casual, but I am there for the aesthetic and I can't be the only one.

I admit I do have a difficulty tolerance threshold. I won't be playing Dark Souls anytime soon. But on the other hand, I think Touhou Project is known for its difficulty (although maybe not so amongst others of its shmup genre) and I play those. At the time I was exposed to it, people certainly talked about it like it was hard. Yet I tried anyways. I probably would not have ever tried it if it was spaceships more typical of the genre than cute characters shooting lasers and butterflies. I was a bit of a stereotypical 9-year-old girl at the time. I wonder how many other people would be willing to cross that difficulty threshold for cute.
