Talk:Figure moe zoku

message: This page makes no sense at all.
Did someone run a Japanese text through an automatic translator?
It does seem like that. This page also seems heavily biased, though the language makes it hard to tell. Citation, please!
Sorry, Japanese edition is stopping to discuss NPOV now...
I think we should translate Japanese edition after the discussion is end and topic is fixed.
My rough Engish sentence is just a summary of this topic.

message: This line is confusing:
...literally "figure budding tribe", or, closer to the true meaning, "Action Figure Gang of Budding Fetishists"...
I don't know much about Japanese, but there are two things I can point out.
#Would I be correct in guessing that "figure" refers to collectible models such as ones like these  and not ones intended as posable toys?  If so, "figurine" would be a better term.
#"Budding" is a very confusing translation for "moe".  Even if it is correct literally, moe in this context refers to a form of affection rather than any physical budding.  
So then I'd suggest these as less confusing translations for figure moe zoku: "figurine moe tribe", "figurine lover tribe", "figurine lover gang"

thread_title:  Confusing translation 

message: The actual description of figure moe zoku is heavily outweighed by lists and discussions of serial killers accused of being them.  Who here's got such a huge bias against these people?  Someone embellish the positive aspects more, please.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.147.228.234 (talk) 19:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: More Biases!

message: This article has some serious problems with it. For starters, what is the article about? Is it about the term, the figure collecting subculture, or criminals who have been labeled as "otaku"? The articles doesn't make it clear what it is talking about, although it is heavy weighted on the latter. And because of that possible undue weight, it leave a negative impression about the Japanese otaku subculture. And if it is the latter, then it definitely needs to be renamed.
There is also massive problems with sourcing as whole sections do not have a single source, but makes negative comments about living people. That's a clear WP:BLP violation right there. Other information appear to be displaced and should go into their respective articles instead, such as Akihiro Otani. The fact that much of the content of this articles is pulled form a series of unrelated sources indicates a synthesis is occurring to advance a position. --Farix (Talk) 02:22, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

message: "The term "moe" is Otaku slang for the love of, or fetish for, characters in video games, anime or manga"
As one can see here, the definition of moe is not settled on in Wikipedia and seems to have multiple definitions. Giving a definition here is misleading... For the time being, I think the page should just link to moe and not give its own definition. 24.137.120.159 (talk) 02:32, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
