I knew I was forgetting someone when I made that post, Shinji hits the exact spot for those kinds of mook-like pathetic characters that are moe in their own way. I should dislike them or outright despise them by all means, but there’s just a special kind of beauty in how horribly flawed they are that I can’t take my eyes off of. Something about that mix of creepiness with the right amount of patheticness is extremely endearing to me. I myself don’t know why I like these types of characters so much, but I’ve done so for a long time. Maybe part of the appeal of pathetic characters is being able to relate with them, but I’d rather not think too hard about that. When I was reading Notes from Underground, I both empathized with the Underground Man’s spaghetti-spilling and alienation and was fascinated with just how pathetic he was. The description you give of him being a mix of chuuni + vulnerability + instability + an inappropriate sense of doing something greater than what he’s actually doing lines right up with the Underground Man from Notes from Underground. I haven’t played Hashihime yet, but that totally does sound moe. I have it downloaded, so I’ll maybe start blogposting it/posting about it in general once I have the time to start on it. Especially if it’s an unhinged boy with issues with long, extended mental breakdowns.
/vint/ - International Vidya Ī shame that the entire game isn’t consistent in quality, but I’ll let it slide if there’s one really good boy.
