If you mean irl, none. If you mean in anime, lolis are a lot cuter generally including loli tomboys.

Irl boys and girls are hard to tell apart outside obvious giveaways like clothing. It becomes obvious in puberty though.

Both can be cute, but I usually found little anime girls cuter because of their character design and voices.

girls outnumber boys in cute-centric shows. Although most of the cute shows I've seen don't feature "little kids" but teenagers.

All the little kids in Hanamaru Youchien look basically the same...like little plush toys and are all equally cute. If the main trio were boys and one of them had a crush on his female teacher then the discussions around the show would probably be a hell of a lot less...weird.

Iruma-Kun, Riki from Little Busters and the main character from Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku. All very cute.

The cutest anime boy ever is Hanako-Kun. If he were a girl...damn! that'd be dangerous levels of cute and it's probably best for everyone we not go there.

Need more details OP, gonna assume you are talking about elementary school age or younger

Irl: it probably doesn't matter much, kids in general are annoying.
Anime: voice actor and character design play a big role in defining "cuteness."

Overall, gender doesn't matter.

Why would they be equal when children are often gendered differently? Is there no relation between femininity and cuteness where you live?

Young girls are cuter overall in anime or IRL if they're gendered femininely, I would assume that's a fairly common viewpoint for everyone, not just men.

the implication being made might have been that neither are cuter based on their sex/gender rather than, like, prurient interest

Which I sort of agree with, but I think there are real gender-related contexts that can contribute to a character's 'cuteness'. I personally wouldn't say that one might be cuter than the other, but rather, the cuteness (and all other relevant descriptive words in relation to it) for one tends to be conveyed in different ways than the other.

...and I guess some people find some certain gender-specific conveyances to be more cute than others

Because that “gendered præsentation” is ignored as often as it's observed.
I don't really buy that at all when we're talking about conservative Japan here.

While that's true, it's far more relevant that cuteness is simply associated with feminine coded things more than masculine coded things.

Should've made a poll.

In anime I find little girls generally cuter but tbh studios often put much more effort into animating little girls and make them cute on purpose while boys are often just illustrated as little brats.

Lol

Japan didn't wait maid cafe before adding cross-dressing into their culture. As far as I can tell it was already the norm in Kabuki theatre.

I guess it is kinda weird but hardly any different than asking if cats or dogs are cuter. You'll probably get completely different results if you ask men vs women.

I'm assuming that this is a follow-up to the previous question the thread's starter had, which is if Spy X family would be less popular if Anya was a male (which isn't a weird question). With Boji brought up, they're now asking if Boji or Anya would be more popular to a male audience (this question). So, all legit/safe.

To answer the question, I'd say female off the bat, but the character's personality is what decides it after 10 minutes of screen time (or the alternatives for IRL). Why? I don't know; it's not a calculated choice.

Depends on what you mean by cute:

-Even though I like kids(due to their potential and their willingness to learn new stuff), I think they usually are ugly, so I avoid speaking on their looks xD.

-If you mean their silly actions, then there's no difference between both...

I don't think anything here on MAL would reveal my IRL identity though, so I doubt it's the premium server for special service ops to use. But really, who knows?

Honestly, I'd say though I could come up with a few little boy characters that were cute the girls are cuter in general. But that probably also has a lot to do with the shows and the presentation of male and female kid characters in general.

Now that I think about it - for little boy characters it's not that common that shows play up their cuteness. More often you have them be more active - kinda like little rascals instead of shy and quiet. While with the girls it's far more common to present them as cutenes incarnate.
