What's the difference between kawaii and moe?

[Anonymous No.]

Cute vs. cute in a way that appeals to my fetish.

[Kyary Pa/mu/ Pa/mu/ !MsORqrVAN. No.]

kawaii means cute
moe means cute and sexy at the same time, like sexy things done in a cute way

I think that's right, anyway

燃える means burning with XXX

In other words it can mean burning with the pleasure of having 10000000000000000 cocks inside you.

It's 萌え, not 燃え. Try again.

Moe is something you like with burning passion. So basically saying moeshit is like saying whatilikeshit.
Kawaii means cute.

It's in a "crush" sense though, so calling an anime "moe" doesn't really work.

You baka will never understand moe.

[thoughtless celestial No.]

moe is budding, it's a warm feeling of something gentle
kawaii is for cute things, it does not hold the same budding feeling that moe holds.

[Anonymous No.]

Moe is like fetish but not limited strictly to sexually arousing things, but also things that are simply attractive to you.

Hmm moe seems to be used as a tag/genre for animes with very young innocent kids without any sexual/ecchi content at all so these answers kind of confuse me.

It just so happens that much of the adult anime-watching population are attracted to small 2d children.

Moé is a buzzword for the downfall of modern anime, and it's frequently used to justify pedophilia. e.g. "The 12-year-old girl walking out the shower nude wasn't perverted, it was MOÉ!"
