Moe, what is it?

[Schmole]

if they're so moe how are we supposed to make babies? DDDDD:

shota there I said it

fixed

Boku no Piko you say?

[SOO-DA]

thanks but no （￣_￣）

[PenPen-kun]

btw viv you can still produce babies with shotas, all you need is a fertility clinic to make your test tube baby. on the other hand its not possible to use the same with lolis.

[Calisto]

u can still make babies with honey-senpai... seeing as he is pretty much older then all the characters in Ouran Host Club (except mori since i dunno whose older)

[Roa]

I think making babies should be one of the last things that should be discussed in a thread for moe =P

[PenPen-kun]

i'm just giving the crowd what they want. plus its more along the line of discussing whether you just drool over them and hope you can touch them or just "omg that is cute/cool/awsm" which the second i think is on the lighter end of the scale or not part of this "moe" definition at all. but whats confusing me is whether it has to have sexual conotation or not.

i mean i like cute critters from games and anime like moogles, porings, tama from love hina and my personal fav penpen; but i don't think that counts as moe. but stuff like sailormoon/etc or chii i most proly do, but i am not that into anime to have it cross my mind since i like gorefest like elfenlied more. though i proly prefer battle royale over animated violence any day.

speaking of which, what exactly is the stereotype "moe" stuff?

moetan is where the moe is at ;P

Interesting. I thought that chicken thing only exist in Nico Nico Douga?

Unfortunately, i have to object to bigtits causing epic pandemics and stuff. They rock, and are the foundation of human evolution/ continum since the dawn of mankind. Hence, the stuffed chicken can yiff in hell should be sent to Colonel Sanders to be served on a plate as KFC. Enuff said.

[schlaghexen91]

Hm, now that you've said it, that actually looked quite similar!

[Schmole]

it's a duck, for starters... and how does the mere mention of any animal deserve the 'yiff in hell' bs that you're spouting?

* Schmole wonders if there is a way to block seeing certain members' posts... tis possible on other forums, but can't find the option here

that aside - i don't think big breasts are all that great, but that's a personal opinion

[muramasa91]

If you don't have anything good to say then don't say. I'm already too angry from what happened just now

It's a shame that you're angry, but perhaps using these forums as a dump for your nonsensical flame-ridden posts isn't the greatest of ideas. Surely there are better outlets

As for good things to say - I've contributed a bit to the topic (you know.... staying on-topic [without double posting too!! *gasp*]) if you'd be so kind as to look at the previous page. Your crappy chan-related memes are not contributing anything of positive value, so i'll direct your quote back at you (with a small fix to make it grammatically correct):

If you don't have anything good to say, then don't say it.

I listed some on the previous page, but this site seems to offer a good explanation of what the term means

Guys seriously no fighting... There's been too many fights and "reporting" members within a week and it's not funny. If you guys wanna fight, take it outside in a dojo and fight fair.

Back on topic...

Btw Schmole, what does size of breasts have to do with moe? (and I'm not having an iff at you, I was just wondering since I never knew moe could be like that and for some odd reason I'm feeling quite self conscious about myself lolz! )

oi oi oi, no need to be feeling self conscious!!! moe to me relates 100% to anime solely and doesn't cross over to the real world (in my opinion - which, to me, is the only one that matters lol xP)

as for why it has to do with moe, i think it has something to do partly with the mentality that people are able to like things in an animated person that might be socially unacceptable in the real world. With small breasts in anime, I generally think of a small body ties to it as well (that is to say, a child-like body) - and being able to laud over a child's figure in real life is ... well.... a little creepy xD

then again, there are also fully grown characters that have small breasts - the moe charm of those people would come from the fact that there are others around with larger ones, and the character would feel very self-conscious (and sometimes even awkward around those with larger ones). this embarrassment/self-consciousness can be a turn on point for some people because they empathize/find the embarrassment cute.

IMO "moe" is pretty much a strong attraction to a certain type of character. The example I'm going to use is the "cute" girl in the show everybody is supposed to love (see: clumsy girl, shy girl). The cuteness would probably have been pushed to the extremes. I also agree that the cuteness (or whatever habit/trait is the emphasis) would be used for a reason; for example, to attract attention to itself, to the character, or to the situation.

Moe is predominantly used in regards to female characters, although that doesn't mean it can't be used for male characters. (Honey is a good example: where at first I would have definitely classified him as kawaii, I would probably also classify him as moe at some times.)

Edited to add: K-ON probably gives the most clear examples.
