On a unrelated tangent, I remember that quote from Miyazaki about how, in too many words, perceiving women only in light of being either a willing meek partner or a confused misandrist is pretty damn hosed up, and anyone who actually thinks like that needs a serious adjustment to their way of thinking.
That's why I forgive CLAMP for Chobits, because how the universe was constructed step by step to fully illustrate their point. Every time characters decide that women relationships are too mysterious, too complicated, and too unfulfilling as opposed to persocoms, it becomes more and more apparent how far away from constructive reality anyone who actually believes that is.
Time has passed since then, but I'm beginning to wonder, between sales figures, marginalization of customers, and stuff like Toshio Okada's books, could we be seeing the beginning of a backlash against the whole moe movement, if you call it that?
