The first episode of The Lone Gunmen, an X-Files spinoff by Vince Gilligan and Chris Carter, involved a plot by the U.S. government to hijack a plane and fly it into the World Trade Center to start a war for profit, and aired in March 2001. Strangely, almost nobody seems to remember this.

This is probably the first time I've seen The Lone Gunmen referenced anywhere other than Gilligan's wikipedia page.

Also while we're talking about 9/11 "predictions", Tom Clancy's Debt of Honor involves an actual Japanese kamikaze attack on the US Capitol Building involving a 747,

Yeah, after being told "Stop, this is getting really fucking weird" by the sites own staff.

It's mostly a way of speaking in the third person semi-jokingly, or it was, but it turned into a hideous infected tumor of autism where entire pages would be shat up entire groups of people all speaking like that, and the site staff were all "ok, this is too autistic even for us".

We keep it around on All The Tropes mostly to spackle where tropers from TV Tropes dropped their names on our site on imported discussions, and so it doesn't look weird, we filled in the blanks with a link to that page so we don't have to axe entire pages of archived discussions, but it's not something we encourage our current users to do.

Thanks Geth.

Good job on the archiving and mirroring.

Tropers will are thirsty for just about anything, apparently.

This time it's (mostly) about teenaged girls wearing socks that rise up past their thighs and they're wearing an leotard or an short skirt to go with it.

That's it. No deep color-coded emotional attachment or shit like that.

Are you really surprised that a kink that originated in the anime community gets its own trope page? Shit, that trope is cited so much, its weirder when it doesn't show up on a work's page.

Also, do note that the Moe aesthetic in itself is generally not considered to be a sexual thing. Saying otherwise will hit the Fandom Berserk Button. That is not to say, of course, that Moe characters can never be sexually attractive, and indeed some aesthetics may deliberately blur the line.
  • Sonic himself (prior to his redesign from Sonic Adventure onwardsnote ) counts as this, despite the fact that he can protect himself.
Nowi from Fire Emblem Awakening is something of a textbook example, being an adorable, innocent, seemingly young girl who speaks in the third person (though the Third-Person Person trope is significantly lessened in the English version) (Though being a manakete automatically makes her a Badass Adorable). Also, the fact that Awakening is the first game to give all of the unique units voices only boosts her moeness further.
  • And the kicker is Raiden, designed as the beautiful bishounen, is * not* moe. It's his personality, and specifically the examination of his selfishness and abusiveness at the end of MGS2 - it's impossible to go "aww" after that. But the legendary mercenary and his "best friend"? Awww!
For that matter; Toon Link, Toon Link, TOON LINK. He makes every game he is in about ten times cuter. You really want to cuddle him whether it's for his many endearing facial expressions or his adorable little battle cries.
Ōkami: Origin of all that is good, and mother to us all, Amaterasu. AKA Ammy. AKA Fluffball. AKA Snowy, Fido, pooch, and Snowball. And Powderpuff. We all know she's a full blown deity reincarnated as a wolf, but dammit if she ain't the cutest thing in the world when she's wagging her tail.
Steven Universe:
My Little Pony:
  • Betty Boop: Betty may well have been the original progenitor of the animated Moe character. The target audience of her cartoons was adult men rather than children, and she made popular the large eyes and other child-like facial features that are common on a lot of modern Moes. Also, she was voiced by Mae Questel, who at the time was very popular due to her cutesy voice.
Futurama.
  • Come on...if you were Leela, you know you'd date Fry in a second. None of that pussyfooting around. It's all his heart, and the fact that he is so very, very, very lonely, being the oldest human in the world by a very long shot. Plus, he's nice to people who don't give a rat's ass about him, for no good reason at all. What's there not to like? Intelligence? Overrated! In fact, he's most adorable in his good-hearted loopiness.
  • Leela. How can you not hear orphanage stories and not want to give her a hug? One eye or two, who cares?
  • Kif. With the big head, large eyes, small nose, girlish voice and the borderline Woobieness, he's downright adorable!
South Park:
  • When Kenny becomes "Princess Kenny", he becomes a direct parody of anime characters of this type, specifically young girls.
  • Butters is a sweet, naive Cheerful Child and by far the most innocent character on the show.
  • Tweek is an adorkable Nervous Wreck.
  • Kyle is so kind with girls he dates and willingly be a good brother to Ike when he in trouble.
  • Stan has a heart when he near animals especially with his dog Sparky.
  • Kenny's little sister Karen. She's got adorable Girlish Pigtails and is a bit of a Fragile Flower due to her terrible home life, and is her older brother Kenny's Morality Pet.
One male example who gets away with it because of his age is Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes. Remember when the baby raccoon died? It was also a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
The Nostalgia Critic. Those huge, pretty eyes, his actor's gleeful catering to the fangirls and the fact that he looks like a kid playing grown-up (and tends to suck at it) in that messy suit adds a lot to his appeal.

Moe fags are the worst thing to come from Japan since Pearl Harbor.

Well, I'm not really that surprised, since they used to document hentai because Fast Eddie probably didn't read his Google AdSense contract. But since I never really looked at that trope until today, I assumed that it was nerdspeak for anime personalities.

It turns out that I was wrong, obviously.

Did you know that they consider EVERY SINGLE MEMBER of Channel Awesome moe?

No seriously, they fucking do.

Oh I'm well aware of that.
They also seem to have never heard of the word "cute", instead using autistic weebshit words like "kawaii" and "moe", even when describing things created outside of Japan.
Seriously, that page is unholy levels of mass autism. If you hadn't read the quote in its entirety, go for it just to see how insane tropers are.
