Huh? Who mentioned Boku no Pico? What does that have to do with anything?

You guys are incredible. If you don't understand what Boku no pico has to do with moe then my friend you're a lost cause. Wether you do it on purpose or not I don't know. But I certainly recognize denial in full when I see it.
Oh well I've already expressed my opinion on the subject, no point expanding it further.

For the first question, it should be mentioned that many seiyuu actually ARE established music acts, too. Many seiyuu put out their own CDs and are essentially idols in their own right... its not like the American dubbing industry where all they do is voice an anime and thats it. Some are also part of existing music groups as well, like Sphere and YuiKaori. So there probably are some examples where they just do it because its cheaper, but its also because these are seiyuus with existing fanbases among the audience the anime is aimed at, and they want to hear their newest songs.

Moe (let's put in the 2 most relevant manifestations lolicon and shotacon) are pornographic ...

No I'm not trolling.

You are a troll. I can tell, because I myself am a troll, and we recognize our own kind. Like Cylons.

I never used the term moeblob. But I still think people that like lolicon and shotacon should be bashed until the end of time.

And once again you're confusing the cause with the effect. The moe feeling is created not by you but by those that are producing/animating the series/characters. The moe feeling is CONSEQUENCE of how the characters are depicted. And drawing them in the puni plush style + sexualizing them induces in the viewer what you aptly called the moe feeling. Now some viewers are more receptive to this while others are not. But DO NOT CONFUSE cause and effect.

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.

Both Priss from BGC and Deedlit from Record of the Lodoss Wars are two of my favorite female anime characters of all time.

Both of them are pretty moe to me. But, I guess I was wrong all along this whole time then.

So you feel the need to protect Priss ? Priss needs no protection, the others around her are in need of protection. In my case I've never felt all warm and fuzzy and motherly towards Priss. On the other hand I find Priss sexy. But the feeling to protect her ? Hell no.

These are the same crowds who regard brainless shonen like Dragon Ball as the magnus opus of anime.

Melfina, Aisha, Eureka and even Anemone say hi.

Yes, and every American and European are supporting the industry right? Don't be stupid.

I don't know who you hang out with, but I'd get a shocking reaction from someone if I just pulled some random BL or yaoi pic and show it to some "normal" person to say the least.

Also, I like how you clearly ignore the magnitude of vehement fervor the fujoshi crowd emit when it comes to their hawt guys.

Yes, spectacular Geneon sales failures like Fighting Spirit, Heat Guy J, Cybuster, Demon Lord Dante, and Rumiko Takahashi Anthology certainly were awful otaku-pandering moeblob-fests that turned viewers away en masse.

So what we need to revive the Western industry is more tentacle rape and fewer girls playing guitars. Got it.

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.
