Inappropriate baby clothes

Name changed for this as outing (discussed in rl)

I followed a home made clothing brand on Instagram who I thought did lovely baby clothes and considered ordering.
I came across a lovely romper with koala bears on but the caption underneath said Cuddly AF. I then saw that this was part of a whole range of ‘AF’ clothing. They were proud of what the AF stood for and thought it was fun.
Am I being a pearl clutcher or is it just an awful thing to put on a baby?
I really can’t get my head around why those letters need to be there and I don’t find them fun or light hearted. I thought it was awful? The romper would have been lovely without them.
Am I being an uptight judgey-pants or do you also think it’s inappropriate?

It's a no from me but then I wouldn't buy (or would return presents) tops that had things like "here comes trouble" etc, because you're just giving people the idea that either your dc is a wee shite or you can't cope or both. I did use a bib that my aunt bought DS that said Granny Magnet, mainly because her & my mum (granny) thought it was the cutest and I couldn't bring myself to point out the play on words. Plus it was a bib, it was on for about 30 seconds before DS had obliterated it with food.
