I said I thought the person selling the ice cream looked intimidating, not necessarily that the child buying the ice cream thought so.

Of course I know she is oppressed and possibly might not mean to intimidate a teacup but a costume in all black with the eyes showing does look quite intimidating. Specially if the ice cream van, which is a business after all, gets around to streets where her outfit isn't the norm.
