I never heard the term "poor little meowmeow" until people were getting meta about it but I understood it instantly from the name

what a dreadfully evocative phrase

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:00 AM

although actually here's a question

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:01 AM

what's the difference between a poor little meowmeow and a komaeda

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:08 AM

it's like a square-rectangle thing

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:08 AM

komaeda is a meowmeow but a meowmeow is not a komaeda

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:09 AM

a komaeda is a very particular set of characteristics that meowmeow can also encompass, but meowmeow casts a wider net

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:09 AM

so komaeda is a subset of meowmeows

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:09 AM

correct

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:09 AM

what about vriskas

Rama

@Nerdorama

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:09 AM

How do these yeah

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:10 AM

vriskas are also meowmeows

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:10 AM

that was my suspicion as well

Rama

@Nerdorama

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:10 AM

Are they distinct from Komaedas?

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:10 AM

i've taken it to basically mean any character who behaves in a problematic manner but also has a tragic or relatable past

Rama

@Nerdorama

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:10 AM

Or is there overlap?

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:10 AM

or some manner by which empathy can be achieved

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:10 AM

or are hot

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:10 AM

yeah

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:10 AM

I actually thought it implied a personal level of simping

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:11 AM

you can be a meowmeow just by virtue of being really problematic but also being smokin

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:11 AM

like a character cannot just be objectively a meowmeow in a vacuum

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:11 AM

meowmeows are elected by the fanbase

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:11 AM

was my understanding

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:11 AM

simping is frequent but not necessary because i take simping to mean sexual desire specifically and i do see meowmeows being elected without that element on a semi regular basis

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:12 AM

if i had to use a word it'd be stanning rather than simping

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:12 AM

right

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:12 AM

that's more in line with what I meant

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:13 AM

characters can also be specifically "MY poor little meowmeow" which means that you can also decide upon your own, personal meowmeows

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:13 AM

even if the fandom at large hasn't declared them one

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:13 AM

yeah that's the distinction I was looking for

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:14 AM

but for basic shorthand, if you ever see a boy and think "duo would like him" he's a meowmeow

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:14 AM

just.....in general

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:14 AM

I understand

Quinn Angstrom

@quinn2win

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 5:14 AM

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 6:57 AM

my brain just keeps repeating the name "emet-selch" at me repeatedly but i feel that is not entirely correct

GAY TENNA?

@sanduophon

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 7:04 AM

i don't play ffxiv so it's impossible for me to say either way but he is voiced by hiroki takahashi in jp who DOES play one of my own personal meowmeows

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 7:46 AM

he's.... yeah

oh i'm scary

@yurisoldier

Tue, Dec 14, 2021 7:46 AM

This is the "Komaediagram" deathdesu made that I use

Here is the "Komaeda checklist"
I would argue that being a poor little meow meow is technically possible to disentangle from these things because you gotta
- commit war crimes
- on purpose but because of your trauma
