Anime characters who are the object of worship in the church of belly!

  1. Posts must feature "midriff moe". That is, anime characters with visible midriff. That's all.
  2. No nudity. Lewd art is fine, but mark it NSFW.
  3. If posting a more suggestive piece, or one with simply a lot of skin, consider still marking it NSFW.
  4. Include a link to the artist in post body, if you can.
  5. AI Generated content is not allowed.
  6. Positivity only. No shitting on the art, the artists, or the fans of the art/artist.
  7. Finally, all rules of the parent instance still apply, of course.

SauceNao can be used to effectively reverse search the creator of a piece, if you do not know it.

You may also leave the post body blank or mention @[email protected], in which case the bot will attempt to find and provide the source in a comment.

Moe refers to the attachment one can feel for fictional characters.

The term is of Japanese origin, and if you google it, you will get a description claiming it refers to youthful, cute, girls.

But this isn't actually how it gets used. Different people like different characters, and as such, there is no one given character archetype to which it can be applied. It describes the feelings of the viewer, not the character.

One of my favourite example of this is how Oozaru Subaru, a Japanese vtuber, uses the word to describe how she feels about BT, a character from Titanfall 2. He is a 40-ton 3-story robotic war machine.

It's distinctive definition is that it describes the emotions related to fictional characters, as they are different from the attachment you would feel for actual people you know.
