I think I might have a Ryona fetish.
I have just spent the past 5 minutes watching the various hitstun/pain sprites for the Touhou girls in the Touhou fighting games.
This worries me. Greatly. What worries me more is that I am actively and intentionally watching them.

Anyways, try playing Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, maybe that'll cure you (although I say that because the death noises of infantry in that game feature the Stormtrooper death screams).
Even eddie gordo's echoey Oaoaoaoao uhhh (uh) (uh) noise.
Here's a thing: Just because you find something attractive for like five minutes, it doesn't make it a fetish. It doesn't even mean you like it. It's like hearing a song on the radio that sounds good at first but then five minutes later you realise it was shit.
You know who else had a Ryona fetish? Edward Cullen. Really! He wanted to bite Bella's neck just as much as he wanted to... Er... Be her boyfriend. That tension was the only smart thing about Twilight. Edward Cullen! There's a name we'll probably all forget in a few years, like an old fetish.
There's also a chance that you just find the Touhous in question attractive enough that you are looking past the fact they are getting injured while being so.
I wish I could understand all of this, perhaps then I wouldn't be so eyebrowraising about all of this.
Nonexistent characters? No. The urge is nearly nonexistent.
Then...you don't emotionally connect with characters.
How can you enjoy fiction if you can't care about the characters involved in the story?

It's not as though all characters are moe, or meant to provoke the same reaction. In fact, I find it easier to connect with characters who don't look and act like 6-year-olds.
sometimesalways act that kind of "hyperactive" style.For some reason cartoons/anime only deeply interest me if they have a plan or have things they want to accomplish or do. If they are just living day to day and talking about nothing it feels a bit aimless, like the shows on PBS where they aren't really doing anything and just pointing out everything that is happening in the scene.
I can watch anything, but for me to care about the characters, they have to do something that draws me in. Just being there and doing things isn't enough.
It's like if I had a boyfriend that was around the house that didn't do anything and didn't have any plans, aspirations or dreams.
Also, I tend to like suspense, horror, drama and tragedy more than anything else. I still like other things, but those are the things I like most.
Vorpy: Well, yes, some plot is good in my book. I like my shows to have some overarching plot. I think Slice-Of-Life shows would be better if they adapted an episodic "problem of the week" idea.
Sammy: Moe can mean anything that triggers an "awwww" response or something similar. Anything can be Moe--being childishly hyperactive can be one way.
The term basically has no agreed-on meaning, though.
What does that have to do with having an overarching plot? Being episodic is pretty much the opposite of being arc-based...
And also, it wouldn't feel very slice-of-life-ish if there was always some particular goal to achieve.
I've learned that everyone on TVT and IJBM2 are nothing like the rest of the internet.
It's just as often used to mean the exact opposite.
Then I realized that it's about as meaningful as calling something you don't like "gay" or calling something you think is awesome "epic".
It's a meaningless buzzword now.
...thanks, I guess. Wasn't expecting that to work that well.
