I'm not quite sure where these concerns are grounded. Ryougi Shiki (Kara no Kyoukai aka Garden of sinners) is being featured in some of the moe tournaments, and uhm... Yeah I personally find that quite questionable.
The problem right now is that the term is thrown around at everything by the supposed people who know what "moe" is. IMO the broad use of the term has more to do so with the people involved in the moe community than it does with people berating shows for being moe because they have a cute girl here or there.

There are exceptions out there though.
*Used in the "proper" sense of the term.

Which is missing my point. First people think the term has become too broad, now they're saying that what they think I said is confining the term too much.
I think it is clear to me that people will never be satisfied with how the term is used, and they probably should discard it.
