They’re supposed to be gross, and that’s what makes them cute.
It’s called kimo-kawaii, or gross-cute

In Japan, women always need to be cute and obedient and young and pretty, but when you’re a woman, there are a lot of dark thoughts. You’re a person, with many emotions, so you can’t just be ‘cute.’ I think when I draw, that type of frustration comes out. It’s a cute character, but really… it’s not.
