What is a pookie?

A pookie is a term that originated in the online game Club Penguin. It refers to a player who dresses up their avatar in a cute, often pink outfit and acts "cutesy" in order to gain attention and gifts from other players. Pookies often role-play as babies or toddlers and seek out "adoptive" parents to care for them in the game. The term has since been adopted by other online communities to refer to people who exhibit similar behavior in different online games or platforms.
