People say that, and yet when I type moe into google image search all I get is borderline drawn-child porn.

I just did it and got basic anime shit. Hardly a sexualized "underaged" girl in the bunch. Also Simpsons.

Try Bing, you probably will be horrified.

Japan is weird.

I really just need to put my Japan thing in my sig.

I'm only annoyed because people are spelling paedophile wrong.

you first ;D

Can't, I just started working.

Yeah, and he's done, and it's over. 1) So we can just drop this.Until MonstaHunta comes in to say that it's not the same because the moe-mon weren't drawn with the intention of looking like little girls.Then I'll point out moe is a pun on both cute and "budding" meaning just coming into puberty.He'll try to deflect and say who cares because it's just like CoD and why am I so against a little skin when there are murder sims.I'll point out that he has no IDEA what I play, or what I'm against, and again CoD isn't illegal in a majority of the major countries, while drawn pictures of sexualized children are.Idk really where the argument will go from there, 1) I'll probably get bored and stop posting, except not really because it's hard as fuck to not try and always get the last word.

Before you guys go back at it again, is this really worth it? Nobody has anything to gain by taking the piss out of each other or calling somebody a pedophile, especially since we legit had that happen before with a former member. Turt, you were doing really well up until now. Nat, I have no idea wby you picked this thread to get serious and worked up, but it's not winning you friends. 2) Anybody making personal attacks against Overwatch over this should probably find another hobby. There's nothing sexually deviant about this, it's just some silly art style where characters are meant to look tiny and cute (I think chibis are friggin creepy, and not because I think they're sexual.) and that cam often lead to adult characters looking like kids or whatever even if it isn't intentional. This is one of those cases of cry wolf where people are looking for a reason to be a total jackass and throw accusations around that can be pretty fucking serious just because of whatever reason, usually because they don't like something. Sometimes a crappy art style is just that, nothing more. We all like shit that other people hate, let's leave the criminal accusations out of it, yeah? Overwatch has seriously done nothing to deserve that.

2) Because they're not necessarily children jfc.It's a common Japanese art style shrunk down to fit into little sprites.Who is more messed up in the head? The people who don't see the problem or the people who see this and think of all of the pedophile undertones?Answer? Who gives a fuck. There's a few dozen pixels in there. And you dumb shits complaining are the only ones seeing it as anything.

Awson said
2) The arguing really isn't that funny though.Throwing around accusations like that isn't fucking softball.And this is the second time turt has tried to call out someone for being a sexual deviant based on... nothing.It's really fucking uncool and really speaks for the person trying to throw that shit onto someone else.

4) A.) I'm not drunk B.) nat do you know why I don't engage you?

1.) Apparently, it was actually as hard as hell for you to let it go.

2.) These people know what they are talking about. Honestly, I haven't ever tried to put off creepy vibes, ok? It pisses me off that you would go off and assume that I'm like that because I decided to do this, when you yourself have done some very questionable things. I have never, ever condoned pedophilia and the like. It sickens me to no end that you assume that this, and I Are like that due to stupid sprites. The last time I checked, you AREN'T A FUCKING EXPERT ON EASTERN CULTURE AND ART-STYLES. So stop trying to claim that you know what all this art is about. I've read the goddamned forum posts on the forum this patch came from, and none of them act the way you assume they do about the game. By the way, next time you try to "Cite" Something, DON'T FUCKING USE WIKIPEDIA AND URBAN DICTIONARY, YOU TWAT.

3) You forgot to fucking mention you were also find a lot of other shit. Google isn't always reliable with it's searches, and 90% of the things I would fit under "Moe" Aren't even pornographic.

4) Nobody mentioned you were drunk. WERE YOU DRUNK? And don't fucking attack nat, you worm. You are just as pitiable as him. To think I found you to be somewhat respectable at times. You are an absolute asshat. You don't even deserve my pity.

The things I've read in this thread make me want to skin you all alive.

Well, we could do that, or we can both agree to disagree like humans with mental capacities both exceeding that of fruit flies.

I vote for #2.

We're not even talking about that anymore you two.

Try to keep up, stop de-railing the new topic with shit from 3 pages ago.

Just want to point out, 'moe' comes from 'moeru' which means 'to burn', or '[something] to be passionate about'. I mean, you could use google translate and this can be cleared up easily.

I though that the Japanese 萌え, もえ (moe, “budding”, “sprouting”), was an imperfective or continuative form of 萌える, もえる (moeru, “to burst into bud”, “to sprout”), from a kun reading of the Han character 萌 (“bud”, “sprout”).

When is this shit gonna get locked?

Actually, It's my thread, and I'll do as I please with it. I left for bed, and all that shit happened. I wasn't just going to stay quiet.

Good idea.

*edit. you are joking, right? there is no seeable report button.

You pm Lillian or post in the help section.

It could very well be a pun of that, but the basis of the phrase is the word 燃える、which is 'to burn'. If you really want to get into the whole pedophilia thing, the more commonly used word for that is 咲く, which means 'to bloom' [easier to imagine if you're going to think of ... well, you get the picture].

Done.

I should have done this 4 pages ago. Instead of replying.
