I'm looking for some help understanding the second line in the below. The
context is that Person 1 is showing pictures of girls to his friend, Person 2,
who has just transferred to the school.

> Person 1「あぁ、東条さんな。この子はあれだ。ガチで好きな人ランキング圧倒的１位だ」
>
> Person 2「 **もはや本気すぎて逆にカワイイって言えなくなるアレ** だな」
>
> Person 1「あぁ。……いいんだな。お前、刺されるかもしれないぞ」

In the first line, Person 1 says that she is 「ガチで好きな人ランキング圧倒的１位だ」- she is
overwhelmingly #1 in the ranking of favourite / most liked people.

The third line implies that if he (Person 2) approaches this girl he's going
to get a hard time from other boys (get stabbed) since she is the most
popular.

Line 2 however is a bit unclear. Does 本気すぎて refer to the people who voted for
her, and カワイイって言えなくなる refer to those same people?

question
grammar meaning
Meaning of もはや本気すぎて逆にカワイイって言えなくなるアレだ
So in this context, they are **not** talking about certain boys who are
serious or crazy about 東城さん, right? Then this 本気すぎて just means 本気でカワイすぎて,
which is roughly the same as ガチでカワイすぎて. Person 2 is saying her attractiveness
is so extreme that he hesitate to use a common and casual compliment such as
可愛い.
