@Memo - No way are me & Fabio bickering. We've both been here a good while and get on well enough (except if I bring up singing octupi). You're forgiven since you're new around here, but yeah, this is just a discussion. You wanna see bickering? Have a good long flip back through General Conversation. 
@Fabio - Granted, some of the audience are always going to be in it for the fappage. But I still don't think Higurashi was aimed at the lolicon / moefan end of the market* - I think it's more likely it used the popularity of that market for it's own ends. Perhaps Higurashi is the cancer that will kill Moe? It's worth pointing out that the new series, Umineko no Naku Koro ni, hasn't gone with nearly such cute character designs.
How does that make you feel?
*probably a better way to have put this would be: aimed at, but with an agenda of subverting the audience's expectations.

Of course. I'm not one to force my opinion down anyone else's throat (unless I can't find anything better to choke them to death with) but I am always interested to hear why others feel the way they do.fabricatedlunatic said:
