A loli looks small, basically a child, moe is affection.

Lolis basically are characters who are young girls or woman who look like young girls and nothing more...
Moe is a feeling of affection mainly towards a character in anime etc (mostly female)

loli is small female oftenly has sexual conotation (not always, shota is it male counterpart)... moe is cute, regardles of gender... both term can overlap each other, but also can different...

Moe is personality. Moe is saying "Welcome home, master!", enjoying had pats, etc.

Loli is appearance.

Loli is basically a female who's not mature I mean physically and moe is a feeling of affection. Also every loli (mostly all) are moe and everything that is moe, is not loli.

Hahaha, exactly.

As others have said, lolis are lolis by stature, and Moe is an impression on you by a 'moe character' of affection and the feeling of wanting to protect them, etc.

A 'Loli' character is a prepubescent(-looking) one, under(or looks under) maybe 12 or so.

A 'Moe' anime character carries too many meanings it's really pointless to set it down. You can attribute it to personality traits, art style, parent franchise...

And none of the K-On girls would be widely described as lolis, except for maybe Azusa who could be called one in the wider sense of the term. No one would/should call the rest lolis, never

So what about Hestia? She doesn't look like one to me, because of her
But everyone addresses her like one, soooooooo?

Girls with huge eyes and act all cutsey are not lolis. I don't know how you can't differentiate that.
Moe is basically how you act & art style, which K-on land pretty well on.

A loli is a little girl, at least in the way we use the word, pretty sure when they use it in Japan it's much broader and applicable to more than just a little girl but I'm not entirely sure on that

Moe is a strong response of affection towards a character and moe shows are often labeled as such because the way they're structured and built is centered around trying to evoke that type of response. People can sit there and say whatever they please about it, but that's what Moe was rooted in back in the '80s whenever the concept began to take flight and people began pushing out those fanzines and stuff and having strong reactions to the character for what they were, not just like, idk, the story or action or some shit like that that is considered more normal. Highly subjective and vague term, but it's all set around the idea of possessing some kind of affection towards the character and not just appreciating the character for the narrative surrounding them.

Also, Ecchifags are the true and traditional successors of the Moe Empire and it is ours by right, SoLfags are nothing more than opportunistic upstarts :VVVV

She and some other characters are the 'assets' tacked on to an arguably loli body, she is still one of them at least in the wider sense

I mean oppai loli are a thing but Hestia isn't one of them, she basically has no loli-like traits aside from being short maybe, which being short is not nearly enough to constitute being a loli. I feel like that was just a teasing jeer in the series not being 100% serious yet people took it as an M.O. to call her a loli for it, considering the only characters who used it were ones she was going back and forth with somehow.

Loli isn't a term that is just defined by a single creator's random whim even if it was intended in earnest, which I very strongly doubt it was meant to actually designate her as a loli from my memory of the context it was used in with Danmachi, and the only connection Hestia has to being a loli in any way, shape, or form is that other characters in the series called her one at some point. If that wasn't the case, I find it extremely doubtful she would ever even be brought up as a loli.

I agree with you, she isn't one in my opinion.

On second thought personally I think she's above loli standards, but I've seen her thrown around as a leading example of oppai loli a lot so it seems many others see her as one, or at least borderline. Even seen Mikuru called one a lot so pretty sure Hestia would have been called oppai loli a lot even if no-one called her anything in universe

Kind of a sad state of affairs then

I mean this is probably the most legit oppai loli I know off of the top of my head, though it's still kind of a case of being exceptionally big for her age and not straight up oppai

also characters like kirin from asterisk wars are fairly applicable albeit that one isn't as a clear cut

Moe is the feeling of "OH MY GOD THIS THING IS SO FUCKING CUTE I MUST PROTECT IT". Loli is child-like or just a straight up child. Moe characters could be adults, but they still make you feel warm and fuzzy.

Think of it this way. Lolis are the car and moe is the fuel. Moe is meant to augment and amplify the cuteness of lolis.

Loli is usually is just referring to a short young female character... I think there is such thing as busty lolis, but the usual implication is that lolis have flat chests

As for moe... it doesn't really mean anything tbh cause the meaning is so nebulous and poorly defined that people can just use it anyway they want to and you can't really say it's wrong, because its up to your subjective opinion.

Both of these are usually just ways that grown ass men admit they are into little girl characters without coming off as a closet pedos.

Loli is a word that originates from lollipop and it's a common knowledge that a child really loves candy. It can be attributed to being flat-chested, having a childlike personality or treats MC as someone that they treats with an existing strong affection or admiration without any significant plot.

Moe is an adjective for being cute and makes you look really adorable or pleasing to look at. Their voices are often soft and again, cute.

It is always expected of a loli to have moe vibes in them but moe does not necessarily has to be a child in order for you to feel the moe vibes.

moe is describing something as being cute while loli is a little girl. Since lolis are often depicted as being cute, the two terms are heard together a lot
