Really?

C'mon. He's the bartender on The Simpsons.

I mean, seriously. Duh.

In all seriousness I actually really dislike the word "moe" used in an unironic fashion because it often tends to ascribe qualities of helplessness and incompetence to female characters. I find this sexist and offensive.

A lot of people just seem to use "moe" interchangeably with cute or adorable. This is not correct. "Moe" is supposed to evoke the desire to protect and shelter in a (usually) male viewer/reader.

tl;dr: I don't like "moe" but I like Badass Adorable.
