I'd feel the need to stab people more often and might not be able to resist quite so well. :-p Anyways, I know it's gonna be used. I'm merely maintaining my right to complain about how annoying it is when it's over used or used in ways I don't agree with. It's like when people make grammar mistakes on purpose as a part of slang. It's still irritating and wrong.

I dont mean magic like "fskldf" is now a word and means tacos, but after being used enough in a community it would actually become a new word for tacos. Look at simpler society and its labels, 'emo' 'hardcore' etc. They are all horribly gay and dont make any sense but are used anyway. Thats all i really meant. Good fappingz to all. Btw Owen, spelling Thesis wrong is also dumb, even if its on purpose (which i doubt), but meh. Point being, dont just throw out 'its dumb' if thats all you have to say when in all truth, im right.

Retroactive application of genre's and such has always annoyed me, but with things like "moe" it's more like annoying <i>squared</i>. Totally agree. Retroactive application of genre’s and such has always annoyed me, but with things like “moe” it’s more like annoying squared.

Nevermind how it's ridiculous to retroactively apply it to anime that would qualify as "moe anime" before the label existed -- what about defining its characteristics? I'd say moe as an aesthetic, yes. Moe as a genre can kiss my ass. “Moe is a genre” is dumb, but I’ve written enough of that to not bother digressing on it here.

Moe/Fanservice is not a genre in my eyes, it comes as part of every package. You can't have a genre that permeates everything in a medium -- it defeats the purpose of having the genre in the first place. I suppose I'll have to just agree to disagree with most of fandom and official sources on that point. Glad you enjoyed the rest of my post though :) I don’t care if the producers or companies call them ‘moe shows’, frankly, it still annoys me.

Thanks, please keep up to date with todays anime world, its not like books or movies where there are a set type of genres you can use and none others. With anime and manga, thanks to the very odd fans it has, there are continuous new genres coming up everywhere and becoming 'official'. Even the anime companies refer to their own shows as 'moe shows' sometimes, so meh. As for the rest, yeah i basically agree. ~I wish you a good fapping. Moe is a genre.
