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 why you picked this thread to get serious and worked up, but it's not winning you friends.
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.
A.) This isn't chibi.
These aren't chibi-mon
chibi and moe are two different art styles.
(Brb going to fucking kill myself because I know the difference between the two.
)
B.) Who attacked Overwatch?
C.) From urbandictionary

A Japanese slang term (ironically, first employed by otaku) used to refer to the fetish for or sexual attraction to idealized people, usually a fictional perfect young girl.

It is a pun derived from a Japanese word that literally means "budding," as with a plant that is about to flower, and thus it can also be used to mean "budding" as with a preadolescent girl. Since this word is also a homonym for "burning" pronounced moe (燃え?), there is also speculation that the word stems from the burning passion felt for the characters.
