Post #2 Exhamples of moe found in 5 minutes of searching
A Beginner's guide to Moe
There seems to be a lot of confusion on the internet amongst otaku and those wannabe otaku, as to the true meaning of "Moe" contrary to popular belief Moe does not mean Cute, in fact you don't have to be the least bit cute to be moe. Moe is found in attire, attitude, gestures, and all around manorisms. As such imagine a girl who is shy and cant quite express her feelings for someone, she hides and trips over her own feet while trying to work up the courage to speak to the one person she truly feels this way about but she can't quite come across the words when the moment strikes and ends up blushing, and trying to run away, she could have glasses, or normally be mean to others, but what this one person does to them, makes them Moe, something beyond just the expression of "Cute" this character has completely broken through into a world of adorableness only describable by the Fire known as moe, (Moe, In Japanese, more or less refers to fire, but can be loosely used to describe the passion or "fire in your heart" for something that goes beyond the limits of just plain cute, something that could be beating someone to death as in the case of bokusatsu tenshi dokuro-chan and still be considered adorable enough to make you forget you're seeing someone bludgeoned to death. for now that concludes my rough definition of Moe, Examples will follow whenever I feel like updating
