You can't just label this shit "western moe" when moe is a whole cultural thing, more like a feeling. Either im right, or I'm wrong and I'm just now getting a fascinating deep insight into what appeals to white people, no offense intended. It's just not what I had in mind at all.I feel like if we had an Indian, African, Chinese or mexican more they would all look very different.

>>8078933Fun fact: even though russian culture has an affinity for all things cute the russian language doesn't have a word for cuteness. In modern context it uses the russian words for kindness and sweetness, and in internet slang it uses japanese words as loanwords.
>>8079640Idk what you are talking about, cuteness in russian "milota" and this word has nothing to do with kindness, its all about visual appeal. Russians do you use kawaii-naya a lot as well, but its not due to a lack of vocabulary, its just that weebs screaming nyakawaii on every corner and pushing moecrap everywhere was a runet equivalent of trannyshit and gender discourse in the west, so it just smeared all over.
So western moe = pedo bait?Have i got that correct?
i don't know what moe means but i assume based on everything posted so far that it means "depressing victorian children"
>>8079662not always kidd>>8079717damn this is really good too
did you know that if you work at disney you have to take workshops in how to draw unsexy kids?
>>8079662I mean, that's also what japanese moe means
>>8079275The West should have perfected this, but they opted for 3D Pixar trash, live-action capeshit instead and shit woke calarts.
Based, I'll post my collection
>>8079817thread unrelated I guess.
>>8078917As an aesthtic itself, I haven't got a problem with it. But I don't think it's moe. It's more like loli.Moe is quite a bit older. The characters are cute and still children, which adds to their cuteness, but they're not soo young that they're devoid of personality. It's not so much about age per se but rather having an identity is a necessary part of moe.
I have a hard time understanding what moe is, beyond being 'cute'.Like is Deedee from Dexter's lab moe? What about Frankie from Foster's home?If they are, then aren't most cartoon characters moe?
>>8080134moe is the feeling of wanting to protect the person, the feeling you get towards your children and wife, a puppy, there needs to be some kind of vulnerability for a character to feel moe
>>8080134Moe is derived from the pity reflex. The character must be not just cute, but innocent and helpless to the point of absurdity. Like watching a puppy hop around on the edge of a cliff. It must be impossibly naive and constantly threatening to destroy itself in some way.Western moe is actually characters like Leeloo from the Fifth Element, or Knives Chao from Scott Pilgrim. Zooey Daeschenel characters are moe.
