moe is basically the sexualization of young children so let's actually not go there and maybe not talk about franchises or series that do that

from wiki :

"Moe (萌え, pronounced [mo.e] (About this sound listen)) is a Japanese slang loanword that refers to feelings of strong affection mainly towards characters (usually female) in anime, manga, and video games. Moe, however, has also gained usage to refer to feelings of affection towards any subject. Moe can be related to lust; however, pure lust without other feelings is considered outside its scope."

"Galbraith states that the term came from 2channel in the 1990s, discussing female characters who were "hybrids of the Lolicon (Lolita Complex) and bishoujo (beautiful girl) genres"."

"John Oppliger from AnimeNation traced the first decade of the 2000s as the time when moe became increasingly popular and recognized. Commercialization was a result of interest that followed, and moe evolved from being a non-sexual desire to being a sexually sublimated fascination with cuteness. Brad goes on to say that moe shifted entirely from an interchange between character and viewer, to a focused fetish of viewers."

"Sexual attraction

Sometimes feelings of moe towards fictional characters include "sexual excitement", or are understood in the context where "lots of beautiful girls and boobs appear."[18][19] In these cases, feelings of pure affection that gradually become stronger over time can lead to these feelings of eroticism.[20]
[...]
"There are various interpretations of the concept of "moe,"[3][30] and the subject has been heavily discussed.[31] Psychologist Tamaki Saitō considers the "moe" used by otaku to be the embodiment of their particular kind of sexuality.[32] Saito points out that while otaku creations fulfill an abnormal impression of sexuality, few otaku actually apply this impression to real life"

"In The Moe Manifesto,[44] Akihabara insider Patrick Galbraith defines moe as an affective response to fictional characters or representations of them. The applications of this definition are widespread to political, economic, and cultural discourses. For an example in practice, Matthew Brummer describes how Japan's Self Defense Force utilizes popular culture and the moe that it engenders to shape public perceptions of the military establishment: The Manga Military.[45]"

so it's used to describe a feeling of lust towards "lolita" characters and to further Japan's Imperialistic tendencies... classy

Yo if we're gonna rightfully ban the lovely Kantai stuff can we also ban the literally-from-porn Fate poo poo, or is that somehow immune because Emmy likes it? Like, I've tried to stay out of this debate, but this is a bit much.
