Rubénerd!

On Twitter this afternoon I said I couldn't justify posting a moe picture here for Moe Day 2011 given I'd only just posted this picture of Mugi-Chan recently. @Sebasu_tan and @hanezawakirika would have none of that however, and told me to post another one anyway. Then I was sent the adorable picture you see above, and was encouraged to blog about it!

This could very well be the first entirely crowdsourced blog post in Rubénerd.com's 4054 post history. I need more of these ^_^.

Responding to Bacon5200's article The Moe Menace: A Matter of Degrees:

The issue that's conflagrating the conflict isn't so much that moe exists, it's the concentration in which it occurs. Those pointing out that it has always existed are missing the forest for the trees. There is a huge divide between moe existing in a show, and moe drenching a show from head to toe. The latter is very much a recent phenomenon, worthy of criticism.

If you don't like the latter types of shows, don't watch them. Vote with your viewership and your wallet, that's all there is to it. #ThereIFixedIt.
