    So instead of a racial slur they now make fun of Anime/Manga/Video Game fans

    “Moe (Japanese: 萌え; pronounced [mo.e] ⓘ), sometimes romanized as moé, is a Japanese word that refers to feelings of strong affection mainly towards characters in anime, manga, video games, and other media directed at the otaku market. Moe, however, has also gained usage to refer to feelings of affection towards any subject”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_(slang)

    That in combination with Ghoul

    “In folklore, a ghoul (from Arabic: غول, ghūl) is a demon-like being or monstrous humanoid, often associated with graveyards and the consumption of human flesh”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoul

    creates a not very nice combination.

      Everyday I become more secure in my belief that anime should be banned and all “anime fans” should be re-educated.

        a) ad hominem and b) where did you take the information from that I am an anime fan? Only because I know the definition of the Japanese word “Moe”? A definition that is only one Wikipedia search away.

        Maybe you should get some education and logical thinking first before you send others into re-education.
