[edit] Moé Males?

Can males characters (non crossdessers) be considered moé? Trytoguess 07:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

As a woman, I'd say so. Sana Jisushi 04:54, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't see why not, but it probably isn't the same categories. Like, instead of youth, maybe bishounen characters or more macho characters or something, but I'm not female so I wouldn't really know. --Wirbelwindヴィルヴィルヴィント 05:00, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I've seen quite a few Japanese natives using "moe" on male characters. It seem to be an extension of the usage of it on female characters though.Everesti 15:04, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uguu Script Author, I Salute You!

You should have made it not whack the image links. I hope it gets some air-time before the revert police show up. (This does not mean I support Wiki vandalism. This at least was relevant to the topic. Please don't permaban me.) 98.214.64.55 (talk) 02:58, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Two subjects?

This article seems to be talking about two different subjects intertwined.

One would be moe as an adjective, as in a character who is moe, as described in the Moe Characteristics heading.

The other would be moe as a noun, as in a fetish for something, as described in the first paragraph.

These are pretty distinct concepts and really need to be separated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akkhima (talkcontribs) 22:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I dont understand this

I dont understand this article - first, it talks about the word "moe" as a slang term for someone in love for something, then the next part suddenly talks about some manga style. It's, at least for me, very inconsistent and it's very hard to orientate in it. --Have a nice day. Running 09:27, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
