Ken Akamatsu invented moe and we all owe him a great debt. edit: I thought he had claimed this but I guess I was actually just thinking of a particularly funny wall of text he wrote about it Pitch has issued a correction as of 00:35 on May 7, 2022 |

I don't know what moe is other than something referenced in No More Heroes to make Travis Touchdown seem extra skeevy.

uh no the word moe is not specifically about puberty. The word literally means budding (like a flower) but that's not the way it's used with the anime stuff nowadays people will say stuff like gap moe about male characters and such That said, I'm pretty sure the term did actually originate among creepy old dudes who liked way-too-young girl characters though. like the type of old dudes who were big into lucky star

Moe is an art style, a creepy anime from the 80's can be "kawaii" but it's not moe

I think Lucky Star defined it something like "Clumsy is sexy" which doesn't quite work either maybe it's more practically defined like smut or something

it's not japanese for cute though it was funny when the author of lucky star was revealed to be a 30 something year old nerdy dude and people in japan were shocked. shocked enough to make ascii art about it.  thats what he looks like

Followed down a quick wiki rabbit hole leading to a google image search of 'KFC Bisuke-tan' and am not completely convinced that its 'related to neoteny'

Moe is when they develop a cartoon solely to sell action figures except in this case you have to hide them when you have company

In ye olden days moe meant some specific kind of appreciation of a weak girl who needed your help but in practical modern usage it's just like "endearing"; any character trait you like that isn't objective beauty or physical strength is "moe".

Pitch posted:In ye olden days moe meant some specific kind of appreciation of a weak girl who needed your help but in practical modern usage it's just like "endearing"; any character trait you like that isn't objective beauty or physical strength is "moe". This is probably the closest definition posted so far. Moe has probably countless subcategories at this. Like gap moe, which someone else alluded to earlier, which comes from when there’s a gap between expectation and reality. For example, a big scarred up yakuza-looking motherfucker, but he’s actually really into floral arrangements, scented candles, and he goes to the park every day at 2 to feed the birds. One particularly fat pigeon seems to get along with him the best and he calls it Pringle-san. That’s gap moe
