| I thought Moe was about cute? Cute doesn't equal sexy necessarily. |
| No. |
| Yeah Moe actually has no sexual connotation to it at all, moe just means cute, usually its the case that when they use moe they are describing a cute innocent girl that you go ahhhh over but has almost no sexuality at all. A good example of a Moe anime I watched recently would be Acchi Kocchi, the characters are basically moe however I believe their is almost no sexual references in the entire anime. |

| Well, if you think cute things are sexy, so yes. |

Most things that are moe are aimed towards young girls. The late night anime and otaku are just red flags used to further political agendas. |

Zanzie said: No moe is actually a "cute"/"adorable" anime... You are thinking more of "ecchi"... that's where the "sexified" things appear. Most anime's will mix ecchi and moe, and then someone will upload it on the internet and hide the "ecchi" title to it and only lable "moe" because it wasn't "ecchi" enough for them. that sums it up pretty well, also moe is marketed to otaku but as something very innocent and cute, something that could not possibly exist in the 3D world, the moe genre is more idolized than a genre for 12 year olds to fap to like ecchi anime. However having said that, both Moe and Ecchi anime will almost always fall short in terms of quality due to a lack of plot and very predictable characters with very predictable personalities. |

| Moe is an art style, hurr. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| Ecchi is more like sexual. Moe is more like cute. <3 |

| I'm pretty moe and people from MAL often try to have sex with me. I hope this answers your question. |

| I thought the technical definition of moe had some complex answer. Something along the line as "something thats desirable/pleasing to the eye for no apparent reason other then being desirable." I remember reading an article or something about that, but I don't remember the details. |
| I don't think that moe = always sexual. I find that at most, moe characters are people you'd want to cuddle with. Although we can't deny that there are people out there who have explicit thoughts of moes. |
| Not always. It can be innocent or sexual. |
| Moe character for me always equals a character i want to give a hug to. That's about ti. Other things might make that character sexual but Moe ain't enough alone. I'm totally lying. Moe moe XXX kun. |
| Moe is, like everyone said, being cute. The only time it gets sexual is when a lolicon or pedophile comes into play. |
 |
| Moe is a characteristic displayed by a character you are attached to for X reason. Moe is not cute, moe is not sexy, and moe is not little girls. |

noyoureinsane said: Moe is, like everyone said, being cute. The only time it gets sexual is when a lolicon or pedophile comes into play. Aaaand that's totally wrong. Characters like Shiki in Garden Of Sinners have moe moments. And she is an adult. Many adult characters can be moe and sexy at the same time. Take everybodys favorite headless chick in anime, Celty Sturmstrong. Sexy , moe and headles. |
| "Moe" just means a certain unexplainable quality that makes you attracted to a particular character. However "Moeshit" means series that are made specifically to pander otaku, pedo etc.  |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| K-ON! is sexual? |

| Moe, in my opinion of the word, is one of the many forms of escapism in anime. It can be played out in a sexual way, but there are exceptions. I think 'moe' is more about seeing something simple and pure, and having that recognition spark some warm feelings. This innocence and simplicity is an escape from hectic life. |

jiinn said: I know that sometimes moe definately means an adorable-sexy combo, but is that what all moe is. There are loads of times i wish i could jump into the screne, put my arms around a cartoon character, and sweetly say "everythings going to be alright." With no funy business in mind. Is this also moe, or is it not a sexified enough of a feeling? Nah not really. I can see alot of characters that radiate moe but it never really felt like it was a sexual thing. e.g Azusa from K-ON, she is hopelessly moe but it's never in an ecchi sense really. |
 |
| I'd say no. Some characters are moe and attractive, some are just moe, and some are just attractive. It depends on who's judging. |

It still doesn't go against point #1 because "moe" is a blanket term. You may think it's just cute girls but it makes the target audience scream moe. |

jiinn said: Ok so i will go ahead and call myself a moe fan because i am attracted to the cuteness in a nonsexual way :). Lolicons is definatly a sex thing though right? I love the cute kids in anime but because they don't turn me on i would not call myself a lolicon right? That's right. A lolicon gets all hot and bothered if they see a little girl on screen/see a cute young girl. You can like the way they act or look but if you don't get sexually attracted to them then you're not a lolicon. But no moe isn't sexual. If you get attached to a certain character then you find them moe. Now it mostly just means a really cute character that makes you happy when watching them. |

OriginANIME said: Wut That insightful comment was surely worth pushing this topic for. |
| Huh? For me moe means nice and friendly moments, or even slightly bittersweet ones. It is when you learn something new about characters that makes you care for them more in a positive light. But that's just me. For some it is enough that a character is wearing cat ears and acts all stupid for no reason. |
grandy_UiD said: OriginANIME said: Wut That insightful comment was surely worth pushing this topic for. This insightful reply was surely worth pushing the quote button for. No but seriously, thats basically my way of saying... No, moe doesn't always mean sexual. Sorry if I have offended you! xD |
|
| Cute is sexy and overlap like Moe and loli does |
 |
| I think it's more innocent than sexual, at least most of the times. |
