[Zipporah Schumaker]

also written as moé.
A [Japanese] slang term (ironically, first employed by [otaku]) used to refer to the [fetish] for or sexual attraction to idealized people, usually a fictional perfect young [girl].
Since then, moé has come to be used as a general term for a [hobby], [mania] or [fetish] (non-sexual or otherwise). This is contrasted with [otaku], which would be taking the specific [hobby], [mania] or [fetish] to harmful levels.

The new meaning of moe is entirely caught up in issues surrounding hobbies and taste. Specifically, moe means be attracted to a specific character or its specific partial element and to have a favor feeling toward it. Moe suggests the condition of being infatuated with one character or thing and implies an image of someone burning with desire.
The picture becomes clearer when we hear the frequent use of moe referring to specific elements or characteristics, such as weak girl moe, young lady moe, and glasses moe. The meaning of glasses moe refers to a taste that is taken with a character who wears glasses; furthermore, this taste fetishizes the feature itself of glasses-wearing. In this case, glasses are the moe element.

[Raeanne Dimick]

Moe is when your heart gets a boner.
