I can get behind regional trends because they're easy to spot by just looking at the distribution maps. For the language argument, I don't think there's enough (or any) data, since to prove a relation with language and trends you'd have to do something like compare individual European countries with their ex-colonies.

If you mean how Moe tournaments got started, Japanese Saimoe was the first, Korea's Best moe followed and was the first to make offer full scale English support, Korea's Super Moe Tournament was the first international event that had character from all time participating, and ISML was inspired by Super Moe Tournament and evolved to what we have today. If you are asking about something else, please tell me so I can give you answer you are looking for.

No, I meant that, to my understanding (as I don't really follow it, I might be mistaken) there's a male moe tournament in KBM every year (or two years?), so I wonder which one is the cause and which one the consequence, between this and the unusually large female ratio of Korean voters.
