Overall
This term is a derivative expression of similar category, Incredibly Scary, which came from 2ch.
It is slightly different from the word "cute", where it brings an unexpected feeling of fluffiness out from the viewers upon looking at the illustration of this category. This feeling may be non obvious at first. The below example may help demonstrate the difference between cute and incredibly cute.
- Cute = Soft, fluffy, heartwarming.
- Incredibly Cute = W..What is this? That's....too cute oh my god HNNNNG
Hence the tag incredibly cute is commonly linked with this nuance in pixiv.
However, people also started to use this tag when they felt that the word "cute" alone does not fully express their opinion enough for an illustration.
While this tag is best translated directly as What is this that's cute (which is the true meaning of it), this tag is used in order not to form a "too direct, yet can still effectively convey" the meaning of it.
Also, please note that this tag is a type of ranking tag, so DO NOT ever use this tag for your own submitted illustrations
