Is it incorrect to assume that the reason for the loli aesthetic in the first place was the inherent irony of cute things performing violent acts? Isn't it for this reason that the screams of agony are so effective in Final Fantasy Tactics? I know it's not loli per se, but this thread seems to be a moe/loli/SD free for all, and I think the reasoning is applicable for all the relevant parties anyway.

So then chibi is moe now?

(the nouns in that sentence are staggering me right now)

To get this IT under control, we're clearly going to have to figure out just what the difference between IT and NOT IT is, a hard fast line that separates them. I think original intent could be a starting point (e.g. "This is not moe, it was made moe by fans.)"

Topic to consider:

Is Cloud's head scratching moe? What about Link's refusal (or inability) to speak?

Coast to Coast AM had a show about "otherkin" a week or so back - it's just a nicer word for furry it seems.

Except for Bodhisattvas.

You can do that? Dibs on Treize.
