I don't understand how anyone can hate moe.
Moe has different definitions.
One of the definitions is about stereotypes, like the dere types (tsundere, kuudere, dandere etc) and also stereotypical plot elements (colliding and falling into groping positions etc).
Now, that is not all that makes moe. But that is what many people mean when they say they hate moe.
Others are just ignorant and mean anything with too many girls or a too girly art style or something similarly silly.
I hate moe shows that are bad
Moe keeps me alive

because some people like shows that actually have things happening in them instead of 12 episodes of just random events in school with little to no relation to each other and no progression/development whatsoever.
>>151156374
No, that is not moe.
>>151155461
Some people hate fun.
I think K-On is one of the only well-done moe animes. Most others only focus on tropes and such rather than story and character like K-On did. Plus other moe animes didn't leave holes in my soul as K-On did.

It's like sugar. It's great but you can't make a pie with just it.
>>151156896
Please be trolling. There's so many normalfags on here that I can't tell if you're serious or not.
>>151155930
Basically this. How can someone hate something that prevents you from killing youself?
>>151157023
This guy get it.
90% of current anime has moe art style. and 30% - 50% of it are pure CGDCT series.
I need more series with story & visual direction like Monster, Death Note, SAC, Shigurui, Basilisk, etc.
He's an ugly scummy bar owner
He found his release inside the birthing canal of a 9 year old girl practicing gymnastics. He then knew there was hope in this economically depressed town and retreated back to his truck camper where he would rest and drive on to the next town in the morning.

It's normalfag chads who are too afraid of what people will think when they find out they genuinely enjoy comfy shows about cute girls doing cute stuff

Are you sure you have any idea what you are talking about?
The feeling of moe is fundamentally a positive one.
>>151157583
I have a feeling that you'll counter my opinion with Fujoshi taking over the industry.
Am I right?
>>151157660
Nope.
>>151155729
pretty much this
but most of them are so
>but its comfy
comfys not enough for me. actually cant fathom how that and self-insertion works. or watching shit just for the waifu
>what aboutcute boysdoing cute things?
same thing
>>151157728
That's fine if your sex is female but generally not welcomed here as this is a all boys tree house. Try finding another imageboard.
>>151157660
Let's say we have 80 shows airing this season.
30% would be 24.
If you can come up with even 16 "pure CGDCT", that is without a story as you said it, then you have something to base your dumb claim on.
Go ahead. Try.
>>151157728
I mostly just turn my brain off when watching them. You don't have to think very hard, and there isn't much depth. But anime doesn't need those to be enjoyable. Like how normalfags endlessly watch videos of cats being stupid, It's cute, but not very engaging. Moe anime does this, but 2D moving pictures are more appealing to me, and sometimes has something unique to that show.
>>151155656
this sort of. They just want to label particular archetypes that they hate and moe is a common scapegoat for a wide variety of things that it has lost its original meaning.
>>151158137
That is part of the real definition though.
>>151158152
moe is a feeling. Not some particular archetypes. That's exactly what I mean by the word having lost its original meaning. Anything can make you burn up with passion, or moeru, can be considered "moe"
>>151158289
Moe in Japanese has multiple definitions. Look it up.
>>151158370
I'm not talking about differences in translation. Fun fact, the japanese language also changes and yes, the word moe did develop into what we now know as moe. The meaning has been lost in the original language and elsewhere as well.
