Sigh, Taylor. You were so close, but then you had to throw a tantrum I never ’promised’ to ’leave you alone’. Unlike you, I have a life and responsibilites and cant waste all my time validating your existence, but you probably wouldnt know much about that. Me making one small mistake (which, at least I can admit to, unlike you) about an unrelated issue (the oscars????) does not invalidate my position against your foul movement.

Sorry, I didnt come up with the definition of moe as a feeling. That’s literally the definition. If you have a problem with that, take it up with Ken Akamatsu, who regularly writes about the definition of moe.
The feeling you feel when you see something precious to you is ’moe’. That feeling that makes you want it, to protect it, to keep it as your own. Akamatsu even made the comparison to the feeling one has looking at a small kitten. It can also be called an ’appealing trait’. People have moe for glasses, maids, clumsy girls, clumsy maid girls with glasses. I cant believe I have to argue about this, Kyon even says it in Haruhi, that he has a moe for ponytails. Sure, we can use it as an adjective too, to describe these characters that make us feel ’moe’, and it regularly is, but it still has these dual meanings. (Regularly in anime when a character says they feel moe it gets translated as ’I’m turned on’, which is half-correct but kind of clunky in my opinion as feeling moe doesnt necesarily mean feeling turned on). Please dont try to argue japanese semantics with me, you’re only making yourself look like an idiot. But of course you decide that I only said this because I’m a woman, whatever.

As usual, you twist my words. I never said it wouldnt exist. I said I wouldnt exist as it does today. Even the doujinshi industry was ininitaly shaped much more by female fans; we can thank them for mostly getting the system off the ground, and we can thank the male fans for giving it the vigour it has today. The rest of this is just filled with anti-female venom as usual and completely missing the point I made, pretending that I said women deserve all the credit when I didnt. Yare yare.

Women dont think figures are gross, women who arent anime fans think they are. (And not even all of them…) Men are the same. They see them as something worthless and a waste of hard-earned money, not something someone should display, etc. I’m sick of women getting the blame for otaku’s persecution complexes when non-otaku men will judge them just as harshly. You should have seen the way the otaku kid got bullied by other boys at one of the schools I used to teach at! (Even though I was told not to interfere, which is bullshit I think, I did try to stop them in my own way. Usually by standing near their desk or making sure to call on them for the next activity answer)
The Good Smile workers are clearly fans, but I like how you discredit their work by saying THEY DIDNT EVEN CREATE THE CHARACTERS!!! like a sculptor has to only ever make their original characters. Your desperate searching for reasons to hate women is pathetic. And please dont discredit the work of figure-makers in general. Its beautiful, intricate work, no matter which gender creates it.

And yet, saying anything against me gets me labelled as a feminazi (how classy, are you 8? Lets all compare feminists to genocide, and yet you say you cant stand internet memes or buzzwords) a ’semi-lesbian’ (how does that even work? Also, using ’lesbian’ as an insult? Very mature) and a spectacular tantrum for you.

I’m not ’ruining’ anything. So many self-entitled men like you do this song and dance about things ’belonging’ to them and crying like little babies if women take an interest in it. And yet, most of these same men will just as easily take something aimed at women and twist it for their own purposes. Just look at My little fucking pony. ’Bronies’ get their own name, have people talk about them ’challenging gender norms!!’, and apparently a documentary in the works. And when a girl does anything thats apparently a ’boys club’, like play a video game (even though women represent 45% of the audience of video games) they get told to go away and that they are not ’real fans’ or that they are ’ruining’ something.

I will like whatever the fuck I please, thank you very much, and you’re welcome to do the same.
But please educate yourself on the terminology of the word ’moe’ (if you wont listen to a woman, surely you’ll listen to one of the men most famous for it) before you swing your fists around like a gorilla. It’s very undignified.
