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.

Mmm, you're giving CLAMP a lot more credit than I do. Even IF that's what CLAMP was trying to do with Chobits, I don't see how they succeeded in getting that message across. The fan reaction to the series, if nothing else, shows that failure.

could we be seeing the beginning of a backlash against the whole moe movement, if you call it that?

"Beginning"? There's been backlash against moe since the 80s.
