@vaporeon_ @wallhackio “yeehaw” as moe shit is fucking hilarious
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio i don't really know how to explain “absurdist misinformation is funny” or “the concept that yeehaw is a cute thing that young american children say [which, no, aside from just kids engaging in play which inevitably leads to some of them roleplaying as cowboys] is funny”
@vaporeon_ @aescling are you familiar with the term moe, first of all?
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio @aescling well for one, it's pronounced moé
@vaporeon_ @aescling its pronounced mo-ay
the word emerged from otaku culture to describe the feeling of strong affection towards anime characters, specifically the cute stuff. its often used to describe the kinds of slice-of-life anime i've seen referred to as "cute girls doing cute things" (people will call it "moe anime").
in this specific context it seems to be used more in a way that is synonymous with "kawaii"
@aescling @wallhackio Please explain?
I didn't understand that part
