Dictionary-Urb's definitions
"Age regression" and "ageplay" are the same thing.
Calling it "age regression" is just a deliberate rebrand so people can say "I'm not an ageplayer" while engaging in the exact same behavior as ageplayers. It's the same practice, same community, same interests; just with a euphemism slapped on top to make it sound involuntary, therapeutic, or "non-sexual" and therefore less stigmatized.
The community that calls it "age regression" (especially the SFW crowd, the "trauma-based" crowd, or the "it's not a kink" crowd) is doing literally the same activities as the people who openly call it ageplay: wearing diapers, using pacifiers, sipping from bottles, coloring, stuffies, caregivers, little space, rules, punishments, cuddles, head-pats; everything is identical.
