Difference is Kairi looks like a grown woman
She's almost 10 years older. That's a big difference in age. I don't know what she looked like 10 years ago. Heck I barely know what she looks like now.

Also, Kairi hasn't been women's champion, and barely even wins.
I don't hate Riho, but I understand and agree with some of the criticisms about her

Just stating a fact
Kairi is almost 40 years old and has only 15 lbs on her. I think calling her a little girl is problematic because she's not even portrayed as such yet AJ Lee and Alexa Bliss played that role for most of their careers and they're also approaching 40. People just either infantilizing asian women or they just think it's more acceptable when the other company does it.

From Kyle Fletcher to… Riho, who has been in AEW for a long time. Now “fans” wanna hit the “I know, huh?” Over this shyt.
Most fickle fans and stooging (everywhere) I’ve ever seen in an industry.

Bliss was way weirder, as she was still very sexualized while her character was she basically had a mental break and was acting like an 8 year old and dressing like a child for what like...2 years? Maybe more. And AJ's run was in skin tight shorts and a crop top (once in a while a bikini) while her character was she was mentally ill and it was almost always portrayed as a joke and something to laugh at by commentators, fans, and other wrestlers on screen.
Riho is just tiny. She's not filmed by the camera men getting sexy shots and ass shots any different than any of the other women on either roster. Weird argument for the two to get into.

Taste in wrestlers is subjective, I don't get why anyone has a problem with someone not liking a wrestler.
But David Vs Goliath has been a goto in every form of storytelling for literally thousands of years. You can't be a wrestling fan and not have seen it told in different ways every year.
Real-world believability has always meant very little in wrestling full stop, people just don't like to admit it - MMA is boring as shyt most of the time because just about everything cool in wrestling requires cooperation, literally no part of it is believable if you suddenly decide you need it to be. The point is it doesn't need to be anymore than Spiderman needs to be.
Darby got a lot of shyt in the early days of AEW but he's got his resilience and unhinged offense over to the point half the Internet thought he should beat Jon Moxley to become World champion.
David slayed Goliath. The tortoise beat the hare. Arya killed the Night King. 1-2-3 Kid beat Razor Ramon. Rey Misterio beat Orton and Angle to win Big Gold. Bret even had Yoko beat until he got salt thrown in his eyes.

And in the kindest possible way, Riho, especially compared to 99% of Japanese women wrestlers in the face is no schoolgirl. 
I actually thought she was older than she is when I just looked her up.
If any of the Japanese gimmicks in AEW are infantilised it's probably Yuka, but Yuka's cartoony ass also covers up more than most too.
I think we all probably know why some people see Riho's gimmick as schoolgirl and it speaks more to them than it does her.
