/jp/ - Otaku Culture

kawaii = cat
moe = girl

Kawaii is the basic definition of cute.

Moe is sort of a characteristic that often defines cute, but its more of a fetish to something instead.. its pretty much like a category for "cute".

Glasses
Maid Outfits
Clumsy Loli Girls

Now that I think about it, Moe seems more sexual.

Oh well, thats what I believe.

moe is

kawaii means cute
moe means OH SHI~ THE CUTE, IT BURNS

Kawaii can be directly translated as cute. Moe is a retarded word without any definition

>>1646045
Kawaii=cute, the genral, nice broad term applied to many things.

Moe is applied to specific things (2-d world pretty much) determined by a fandom's love for certain characters and their aspects.

'Kawaii' is Japanese for 'cute' and 'moe' is the burning feeling you get when you see a cute character.

>>1646061

Burning is a nice way to describe lust.

>>1646061
Ok, looks like my pic was appropriate then. Thank you.
I'm going back to /tg/ now.

>>1646061
Only correct post.

This is moe

By the way (>>1646061) here I'm a girl.

>>1646079

>>1646061
I'm moe when I pee.

>>1646075
BUCKETS

OF

CUM

>>1646084
You watch 2d stuff when you pee?

>>1646096
NO, I HAVE A BURNING SENSATION WHEN I PEE.

No one who understands what moe actually means would ever post in a shit thread like this except to troll.

>>1646083
I love that face.

>>1646103
well played

>>1646113
me too

>>1646105
Yes, cause explaining a 2-d describing vague term that anyone not associated with the particular fandom will prolly not have heard, requires too many braincells, which means that he would not dare answer a simple thread with no obvious trolling traits.

>>1646105
MOE IS SECRET CLUB

NO ONE MUST KNOW SECRET MOE DEFINITION

Is THIS moe?

>>1646125
For the child loving crowd, yes.

>>1646125
No, thats kawauu

>>1646125
That's erotic.

You have to feel moe for yourself to really know what it is. Hard to explain such a feeling.

>>1646125
Is that a tear or something else?

>>1646140
That's sperm.

>>1646151
D:

moe is a more personal definition and typically bears some sexual connotations to it similar to fetish. Think of it being to cuteness what a fetish is to sexuality.

>>1646167
So there's this girl I know. She's absolutely adorable and everytime i see her I D'AWWWWW and hug her a lot. I'd do her, as well. Is that moe?

Kawaii is "D'AAWWWWWWW"
Moe is "I MUST PROTECT HER"

>>1646176
Moe only applies to 2-d world.

Usually things I want to have sex with are moe. To me, the term "Sexy" does not compute. IF YOU ARE MOE, I AM GOING TO SHOVE THINGS IN YOUR ORIFICES UNTIL I SATISFY ALL THIS MOENESS WELT UP INSIDE ME.

>>1646176
Yes.
>>1646185
Not entirely correct, it just almost always applies only to 2-D since 3-D is so pigdisgusting.

>>1646176
I think you don't D'awww. Enjoy your girl hugs.

>since 3-D is so pigdisgusting.
You should try going outside and actually seeing it.

Moe for me is when I see something so cute that I really want to hug and hold it, sometimes going close to the point of crying because I know I can't. Have nothing to do with sex.
A feeling not that far from when seeing an extremely cute puppy or kitten.

>>1646195
you're not funny

>>1646195
I do, every day unfortunately.

I'm sorry, could you guys all come back to /b/?

What the hell happened to this board? Seriously, this thread is worse than /a/.

>>1646198
What if you
>really want to hug and hold it
AND want to have sex with it?

>>1646195
0/10

>>1646208

>>1646083

>>1646206

>What the hell happened to this board?

athens. That plus the inevitable decline no board can escape.

>>1646216
Calling someone a troll != being trolled

>>1646207
>>1646219
/jp/ has always been a great board. If anything is ruining it, it is fags who keeps complaining and saging threads to the point of ruining it.

>>1646229
Agreed

>>1646229
This. If you're concerned about the quality of a board then hide the threads you don't like and try to make good posts so you don't contribute to its decline.

>>1646061
>'moe'
>burning
iseewhatyoudidthere

>>1646224
It's responding to them, you've already lost.

>>1646247
Yes, faggot, I'm concerned by the fact that someone comes here, asks a valid question and is subjected to the cesspool of stupidity, ignorance, and general /b/ faggotry.

Also, there are your good posts.

>>1646229
>>1646242
>>1646247

Samefag.

The idol threads multiplied, there are supposed "femanons" popping up everywhere, /trv/ threads are no longer told to go back to /trv/, and the once ubiquitous Touhou and Type-Moon threads are now often relegated to the back pages while the front page is dominated by 3D, trolling, and blogging.

Yeah, the board is dead. I'm just going to start posting on Futaba in English. It's my turn to be the unwelcome outsider barging ruining someone else's board.

>>1646267
This.

Help them out if it's not an obvious roll. If you don't like it, just hide the thread.

I'm pissed and you pretty much provoked me, so be quiet.

>>1646267
Then don't act like a /b/ faggot. lrn2read

I'm making this board better at the moment.

>>1646229
First of all, if you can't accept being critized you don't belong on an anonymous board. Second, obviously, due to the nature of 4chan, there are always lurking some newfags who jump right into "lolol randum" threads, which are just plain dumb and old. We can't but prevent that by saging.

>>1646274
Not samefag. 1646229 is me. Had just posted on /b/ as anon, and forgot to put the nick back in the namefield when posting here.

Comments made from observations...

Kawaii = Cute
Whatever adorable in appearance, and things that induces a desire to love, care or protect are on the list of "cute stuff". There seems to be a consensus, e.g. pet animals, lovely made mascots, decoration or furnitures without corners.

Moe deals with a sentimental resonance in your heart (or a spontaneous cardiac combustion) when you get to see someone, but not necessarily cute in general.

Comparsion:
Both are counted as active and positive passion that people contribute to what they are fond of.
Having much is a fan, having too much is a manic.

Contrast:
Moe majorly apply to people. Primate/sentient/humanoid beings set the margin. Others would need anthropomorphization.
Anything can be cute, as long as the idea is generally accepted.

Now, by all means, the thread should have stopped here.
>>1646061

No retardness, and people were generally correct.

My Japanese teacher... a guy who's probably in his early 50s actually started to talk about how moe is another word for kawaii. Kinda took me off guard.

>>1646288
saging won't do anything. The best thing to do is simply to ignore or hide the thread.

Moe is an emotion

Kawaii is a description

Know your weeaboo speak.

But no, /b/ had to come and make stupid paedo jokes. You're not even real pedophiles, faggots.

>Had just posted on /b/ as anon

I rest my case.

>>1646315
>But no, /b/ had to come
I've been here from /a/ since the split.
>You're not even real pedophiles, faggots.
Well... actually...

>>1646315
No shit. I'm not saying that there aren't any pedophiles here, but you should've realized by now that the whole pedo thing is mostly a running joke.

>>1646303
Why is that argument always mentioned? I sage, because I want to tell you you shouldn't have posted, this doesn't belong here, you're stupid or whatever. Simple.
If it's not a troll, he will consider what people think about what you write.

>>1646294
This person knows his weaboo stuff. Just saying.

>>1646322
/jp/ is for people that don't have boards. /l/ is one of the boards. Hence, /jp/ is part /l/ and has pedos.

>>1646322
I can tell /jp/ paedo joke from /b/ paedo joke. You should too. Can save your life, etc.

ITT: "There's only two Touhou threads on the front page, /jp/ has turned to shit."

>>1646335
>I'm not saying that there aren't any pedophiles here

I know.

>>1646322
>, but you should've realized by now that the whole pedo thing is mostly a running joke
No Anonymous, you are the joke.

>>1646319
You don't have a case.

To elaborate, /jp/ is paedophilic in the literal meaning of the word - love of children.

Faggots from /b/ believe it's paedophilic by the word's most common usage - child molesting.

>>1646329
>I sage, because I want to tell you you shouldn't have posted, this doesn't belong here, you're stupid or whatever
Yeah, don't do that. I've seen many decent threads getting ruined by that kind of behavior.

>>1646322
Is that you Kafuka?

>>1646353
Either she's being cooked, or she's bathing in cum, both sound appealing to me.

>>1646342
I have. It's black, brand new, and has a Hello Kitty drawing on it.

>>1646353
If by "love of children" you mean "sexual desire for children," then yes, because that's what the word actually means.

>>1646303

Saging doesn't do anything, but I don't believe in just turning the other cheek. When someone posts some shitty /trv/ thread, I will tell them to go back to /trv/ once before reporting and hiding. "Femanon" trolling gets a go back to /r9k/, 3D gets /s/ or /r9k/ or just a generic 3D sage depending on context, etc. I don't care how futile it is, it's my own personal little gesture of defiance that I have to make, for no one's benefit but myself. That's just how I am.

Obviously it hasn't stopped /r9k/ from making massive inroads into /jp/, but what else can I do? I do not have the weapons to make a difference. But at least I can say, somewhere down the line at some small gathering of refugees, that I did not just stand by and watch, that I was not a collaborator. I threw rocks at the tanks, for all the good it did. And that's what helps me sleep at night while everything goes to shit around me.

>>1646364
Don't even respond to this idiot.

>>1646372
Saging supposedly does nothing?

>>1646372
http://dictionary.reference.com/dic?q=pedophilia&search=search

Pedophile != child molester, though. I'm well aware of this.

>>1646381
What?

>>1646364
>literal

>>1646386
I said: Sageing supposedly does nothing?

Sorry for the typo.

Don't mind me, the images drew my attention.

>>1646371
>"Femanon" trolling gets a go back to /r9k/
I can understand telling a /trv/ thread to gb2/trv/ but how fucking stupid are you? Do you need the definition of troll pasted on your monitor so you don't forget?

>>1646399
I don't think I'm the guy you think you're talking to. I saged because OP's question has been answered and this thread has no reason to be aged.

>>1646355
>First of all, if you can't accept being critized you don't belong on an anonymous board.
Deal with it.

Yes, I'm elitist. But that's because I can't understand how people post without any research at all, or not knowing anything about this board.

>>1646403
Just reposting your dumps. Don't expect any new gems.

>>1646408
Oh, sorry. The quality of your post was strikingly similar to some other person in this thread who argued againist sageing.

Well, no, not sorry at all.

HEY GUIZE WHAT'S GOIN ON IN THIS THRE- *FARTS*

<.<

WHO FARTED?!

>>1646412
Oh, ok. I like seeing them though.

>>1646430
IT WAS YOU >:o

>>1646427
You're an idiot if you think saging does anything more than not bumping the thread.

>>1646434
OMG XD

NO IT WAS NOT!!!!!!!!!!! I SAW YOU EATING BEANS.... OVER 9000 OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^_________________________^

>>1646430
Scroll up to the top of the page, click / b /, profit.

Mystia image dump greatly appreciated.

>>1646436
Well, I don't. Am I smart now?

>>1646465
No, you just aren't an idiot for that. There is probably something else that makes you an idiot.

I want to love Mystia tenderly.

>>1646479
Aren't we all like that, here on /b/?

read this!

>>1646486
YOU GO TO /B/ TOO? FUCK YEAR!!!!!!!!

ANONYMOUS IS LEGION

Let us come back to /b/, comrade!

>>1646502
NO IMA THINKERN OF STAYIN HURRR XDD

>>1646512
No, let's come back. There's no point in staying here, it isn't any different from /b/, just slower.

>>1646512
You make me wish that those people who acted like this was a forum we're still here, at least they were tolerable.

>>1646531
How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways.

1.) /jp/ is a forum, seriously. Look up the word forum.

2.) >we're

3.) Responding to faganon of /jp/

>>1646544

Your mother is a forum.

Stop being so black, Jones.

>>1646551
Unfortunately, Jones is right in this case.

Turn your car on and attempt to deep throat the exhaust pipe.

Inhale very deeply.

>>1646544
You know what I mean about the forum bit, the people posting like there's a post count and sig function.

Let's get back to cute and moe.

>>1646560

But I'm not the one he was responding to, you're as bad as Jones, and he's only right if you want to be a semanticsfag anyway.

>>1646574
Yes, lets get back to the deliciously moe Mystia dump.

>>1646578
>But I'm not the one he was responding to

I don't care?

Kill yourself.

Mystia Loreili thread?

Is this moe?

>>1646604
Of course.

>>1646605

>>1646604
can we have a "wriggle gets raped" thread instead?

>>1646617
Not now, not here. This thread is about kawaii and moe.

Fine.

>>1646627
Mystia posting Mystia, paradox?

I like this artist.

>>1646617

(Not Mystia dumper)

I could potentially manage that.

Or I could keep in line with Mystia.
I dunno.

>>1646639
I'm just an admirer of her, sir.

Woe unto Wriggle whom cannot even fight off other Stage 1 bosses

>>1646644
As long as it's cute.

...oh, wait, it's Wriggle we're talking about. Of course it is.

Moe~ is the more trendy way for weeaboos to say kawaii, especially if they dont want to be associated with the standard narutard type animu fans. Also, Travis Touchdown made it cool.

>>1646657

Truer sentiments are hard to find, good sir.

Everyone wants to nibble Wriggle's antennae.

>>1646654
THAT'S NOT HOW YOU USE "WHOM"

>>1646653
You and me both, buddy.

Cute, you say?

>>1646656
No, my friend, it's not.

This picture is a definition of moe.

It's not especially cute relative to some other Mystia fanart, with its rough style and sketchy-ness. Yet it evokes feelings that are above simple aesthetic pleasure.

If one sees the scared, teary-eyed youkai girl and immediately wants to pet her until she feels safe again, one has learned moe.

>>1646707
The aftermath, happy youkai.

This is moe incarnae with Wriggle instead of Mystia

Now, this picture is cute, or, if you prefer (I hope not) kawaii. Note the clean, careful style and the emphasis on cute visual characteristics over realism.

It's not especially moe, althought obviously it is moe, since it's Mystia we're talking about.

She eats and becomes a butterfly just like that one story yeah.

No I do not care that she's a firefly.

I'M MAKING THIS THREAD WEEEEIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRD

>>1646963
Hay, get your own waifu, I already called Mystia.

Listen up faggots, because you don't know jack shit about Moe like Sister Renge-chan does.

Kawaii is the cute fuzzy feeling. Aww, a puppy. Aww, an imoutou. Dawwww. I wanna hug it.

Moe is the rush you feel. It's a fangirl squeal, from any gender. Whether it's sexual or not, it stirs something inside you more than just "KAWAII DAYSU NAY."

God, some faggots never learn.
