Can we create a rule going forward that no-one can use the word "moe" in a non-ironic fashion without also providing a public statement on what they, personally, actually mean when they use the word?

Akazukin is not f**king moe! Stop retconning anime classics to fit some bs worldview. And CCS was never deliberately marketed as moe. It just became the co-opted by that crowd.

That's because those viewers have taste.

Uh, no, but thanks for making that up.

Asian markets outside of Japan are torrenting and/or bootleging the product.

The difference is that the fujoshi stuff isn't embarrassing to look at in random still shots. Not to mention that I don't see that fanbase forcing most of the anime/manga industry to make solely fujoshi, because they don't buy anything else.

Enough to bankrupt Geneon.

Funny you should say that, considering Urotsukidoji sold more copies in the UK than most anime can ever hope to.

You didn't read my comment, did you? I said the likes of Urotsukidoji failed to turn people off of anime. Though it was often used as an excuse to attack anime.

Besides, the actual article on which we are commenting explicitly acknowledges the existence of "cherubic, under-aged looking female character designs" and implicitly acknowledges their ubiquity in today's anime. Your quest to argue that such designs don't exist can't get very far until you at least get the text of this article rewritten. Just FYI.

Outlaw Star and Eureka Seven had "moeblobs" too.

Melfina, Aisha, Eureka and even Anemone say hi.

"moeblob" is an inherently derogative term. It has no use other than to bash a character or fans of a character/series.

And once again, because people still find this [expletive] hard to understand, MOE IS SOMETHING FELT BY THE VIEWER. It is not a trait intrinsically held by a character. Just because I find a character moe doesn't mean you will, and vice versa.

Well at least with Urutsukidoji and Kanashimi no belladonna you know that you're looking at material designed for adults. Animated pornography where the characters are adults, and most importantly look like adults.
Moe (let's put in the 2 most relevant manifestations lolicon and shotacon) are pornographic but a pornography that is considered world wide as being illegal. Because it concerns animating child like characters in sex scenes.
The two things are not comparable at all.

Are you trolling?

I'm serious, are you just doing this to try and get a rise out of people? Or do you really believe this?

No I'm not trolling. I'm writing my opinion on the subject.
Now tell me how Boku no pico is on the same level as Urutsukidoji or Kanashimi no belladonna or other hentai productions.
I'm waiting. Tell me how can you justify sex between animated children.
