Originally ignored all the Moe communities as a woman not romantically/sexually interested in my own gender. Saw this on Local, maybe I should check this community for outfit inspiration, that skirt caught my attention and I want it
Unlike the Reddit communities, I don't actually require that posts feature women, specifically.
It's mostly what I happen to like posting (and probably what'll get votes), but anyone is welcome to post art of any character, given they fit the community.
I've myself posted some dudes over on !morphmoe@ani.social.
And the communities don't all lean in the direction of sexy. It's not mutually exclusive with moe, but it isn't required, either.
Hence !smolmoe@ani.social, which is exclusively for the cuteness of tinyness, and doesn't allow any lewd posts at all.
I've also seen commenters enjoy posts on !streetmoe@ani.social and !gothmoe@ani.social for the fashion.
I too enjoy a lot of the pieces I post for the "look" of the caharachter. I should see if I can find some artists that draw guys in cool outfits...
Thanks for your elaboration! As you can probably guess I never looked at the equivalent Reddit communities, so I didn't make my assumption off that, just off what I saw when I was first exploring https://ani.social—largely posts of anime women. Although I was aware "moe" can encompass things that don't titillate as well as those that do, the presence of certain communities made me assume that the posts leaned more that way. I'm definitely not saying my assumptions are correct, as you have proven, but since you mod I thought you might want to know where my faulty assumptions came from.
I appreciate that you allow posts of other genders too! I am thinking back to when I posted a male tsundere on r/tsunderes forever ago and it died in New 😅
I am more the type to want to discuss specific anime fandoms I like than just general-purpose anime pictures, but I recognize the promotion of other communities and appreciate the work you are putting in to keep communities afloat/in the public eye :) Thank you for replying! I appreciate the effort.
