I swear, I can't take kobold seriously, they are like a bunch of angry chihuahuas!
What are they even going to do? Bite my ankles?!?
...though I guess they can be threatening when they start shooting projectiles and blowin stuff up.

His words are the biggest hint. "Gaze upon me". It's a trap! A distraction! There's like twenty more of these little bastards sneaking up from behind, stealing all the arrows from your quiver, tying your shoelaces together, pouring itching powder down your trousers, and aiming a cannon with the words "SNEEK AT ACK" painted upon the side at your back.
Of all the races in D&D, none scream "inferiority complex" like kobolds, hahaha. Heck, I have a kobold lich in one of my stories, and even she's always trying to compensate for her size and frailty.
Still, I always love the idea of a kobold fighter or paladin or something overtly physical. It's hilarious to me!

The problem with Kobolds, is not the individual, which can be downed by a thrown beer mug, but them in groups, using "pack tactics" (per 5e) to gain advantage in attacks, and good tactics. Funny enough our party of 6 engaged a group of 9 kobolds, dug in with bear traps around their hides, and they used Viet Cong Tactics, and nearly killed us all. We did not have enough Area of effect spells, and mostly had melee weapons, against crossbowmen, two flyers, and an artificer with a rifled musket.
What I can't understand is how people view the little shits as "sexy"?

The BBEG of the last campaign my buddies and I played in had a kobold toadie. Basically just a little guy who clutched at the BBEG's heels and provided a bit of comic relief. Said kobold was also the ruler of the BBEG's kobold forces, which he used less as 'cannon fodder' and more as architects, engineers, and scouts. The party never really gave the little guy much mind. When the BBEG was slain in combat, the little guy fled. We took a few shots at him as he left, but we didn't bother chasing him.
This was a mistake. The campaign continued afterward for a few more sessions, as we dealt with this little bastard's arcanotech-equipped troops and brutal tactics, ending with our confrontation with the little guy in his "Steel Dragon" tank. Turns out the BBEG and this little stooge had actually been legitimate friends, and said BBEG intended to give the kobold and his followers a country to settle when they'd taken over the world - which we ruined. So the final mission was a revenge plot from the "crouching moron, hidden badass" comic relief.
As for your question, sometimes kobolds are drawn with hips so large they double as floatation devices. Which some folks are into.
I far prefer the ratfolk and goblins when it comes to monstrous shortstack attractiveness, but that might be because I favor mammals.
