Hahaha... I think some people may have misunderstood what I was asking... 🤣

What I was asking was whether people found "moe" eyes attractive or moe... Not whether if made the characters moe, but I suppose you could discuss that here anway...

Personally speaking as a straight female and a fan, I usually use "moe" eyes as an indicator as to which series I should avoid since most (trashy, no offense) harem series always use the moe eyes style. Unless I hear some REALLY amazing reviews, I tend to run towards the hills.

But as an artist, I love drawing them because they're so gorgeous. 😁

For me, I don't really find them moe, but if we're talking [i]hair[/i] on the other hand... 😛

But we're saying that eyes cannot, in fact, be moe, because moe isn't that type of feeling (because any drawing style can be moe, there is no moe eye). Therefore the question is made null, and cannot be answered. You seem to be asking how we feel about a common and overused drawing style...

Really? I mean if it's so overused, there must be a reason right? So I assumed they were considered moe by many fans. In an another forum not too long ago, I came upon a small discussion about them (they called them "moe eyes," but I don't really know what they're really called...). And now I'm just curious if people actually find them "moe."

From what I've read (because I didn't really know what moe was, thinking it's just something cute).
As x0mbiec0rp said, eyes alone cannot make a character moe, so eyes can't be moe by themselves either.
Maybe it's misused, like many other japanese slang words, like yaoi and shounen-ai... Many don't know the difference and use them as equall or in another, wrong way.
