This is pretty moe~
Y'all are portraying my Emi so ugly. :<
 
We are all moe, the universe is moe there is no escaping it.
Yes...
In a just world, Femmeworth would totally be sportin' this avatar, but the animu terrorists have already won and have subjugated our world with moeblob nonsense

Goddammit

What the fuck is wrong with Emi? I know some of you guys hate her, but a human/swine hybrid with hooks for legs? She looks like a rejected Silent Hill monster concept :l

It's too sharp and angular. The coloring is all wrong, I could go on if you want.
Ice cold
 
Ugh... This is why I avoid most anime threads. The concept of what constitutes moe is the flimsiest fuckin construct in all of animedom.

It pretty much doesn't matter, people arguing about it are lame so you're right to avoid that shit, although I'm genuinely interested if someone can actually give a definition for that crap.

Character archetypes suck anyway, give me someone who stands out from the crowd.

I could never get into No More Heroes. The controls were too weird for me. Well, I hate almost all motion controls, so that could be an issue.

It's press A button to win. You're silly.
Thanks to No More Heroes, I always think of "moe" as having a sexual connotation.

I seriously used to think this. When my friends talked about moe anime I just looked at them weird and wondered why they so casually talked about this.

The motion was only used for masturbating recharging the beam katana and your stance. It was leagues better than Twilight Princess.

I've argued it before, and people are seriously self defensive about what does and doesn't constitute moe. You look at Wikipedia and even the etymology of the term is uncertain, and the requisites for what constitutes it are arbitrary at best. By that definition, the cast of Peanuts is moe. Shit's stupid

Billy: ... You didn't like NMH? Man... Your worth to me just seems to plummet by the day :l Femmeworth gets bumped up a notch cause she gets it
 
Your loss I guess. NMH has some of the most satisfying boss fights of this generation, and the motion controls are so simplistic there is very little margin for error, they are just there to make the experience more visceral (god game devs have ruined that term for me :l )

I don't know about in Japanese, but in English "moe" is synonymous with "cute" except that it's a bit stronger. And just like with "cute," "moe" is in the eye of the beholder.

In other words, everything and nothing is moe.

Somebody page Gautama Buddha cause we're gonna have to update the dharma wheel to incorporate moe :l

Billy: I seriously felt terrible phrasing it the way I did.

Community is amazing. There's almost no moderation, but at the same time no one really does anything against the rules other than getting off topic.
 
The only community thread I've seen get locked was the UK-GAF thread, mainly because people got stupid and it turned into a hot girls thread. So I'd say we're fine, until one of us falls in love with the girls and this basically turns into the Katawa version of Sonic Passion
