The thing with moe

That “spectre” of Japan, moe cursed by manly men and loved by otaku. Thinking about it makes my blood boil like water on a hot stone. See, I can’t define moe for you, because people suck and make up their own self-forgiving definition for the term moe. See, it’s not a word as so much a retarded blanket word, for either the fetishization of cute, feeling of father/brotherhood (motherhood?) for a character or some other crap I really don’t give s shit about. My definition of moe is, being attracted to characters that have the face of a little girl, and the body of a twelve yr old, with gigantic boobies. Then treating her as if she was your daughter/sister and then you two have an emotional dependency, and then you fuck her. Yeah, that’s what I think moe truly is. It’s a fetish, and not a genre. Don’t fucking put it on the same level as sci-fi, fantasy or mecha. It’s a fucking fetish so loser otaku can feel they have meaning in their lives by pretending to be some fictional girl’s dad/brother. It’s pretty fucking lame and if you’re gonna pretend to be someone’s brother, why not be Kenshiro’s brother? At least you’re gonna die in an awesome way, and you too will know kung fu! And will be part of the constellation of the sky (I like to imagine my name is Tatsuhiro who has the fist of the Hercules constellation, and I can break limbs with a single flick of my finger, it’s totally awesome dudes). That’s why you don’t list moe as a genre, but a fucking fetish. This will also give the otaku the image of creepy little girl loving freaks. I use to think of anime as the industry of giant robots, giant monsters and bad ass motherfuckers that transformed into shit and manly men. Now, I look at anime and think “oh Jesus, what happened, we get all this shitty crap, the turds in my toilet are cooler than the shit their spewing”. Where did all the manly men go? Where are all the passionate giant robot pilots who don’t need a gajillion upgrades, nor color changes but just heart and soul (I know, gurren lagaan made up for it, but still) and bad ass chicks who aren’t in high school and are as sexy as they are bad ass. Man, I miss those days when anime was known for having mechs and chicks in powered armor, now it’s giant robots and little girls in power armor. Thanks Japan, I hate you! May the gods of manliness punish your moe-loving ass! Fucking moe!
