Figure Moe Zoku
“Figure moe zoku (フィギュア萌え族) (literally “Figure Budding Tribe”) is a coinage made by Japanese journalist Akihiro Otani who claims “Otaku” are potential criminals, based on the 2004 Nara 1st grade girl’s murder. Otani also uses the term “moe zoku” interchangably. Some Otaku have begun to use the expression “moe zoku” in a self-mocking fashion based on his accusations.”
