I think the description of Perverse Asexual Cuddlelust is redundant with Moe. So have it be a redirect to Moe and create a new one with Cuddle Bug for a character who loves to hug and snuggle.
Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter Natter NatterYeah, this is basically a description of the reaction Moe characters inspire. Perhaps its creator thought Moe was a narrower trope than it actually is, or wanted a platonic clone of Perverse Sexual Lust to gush about characters who they would cuddle but not bang.
The redirect Asexual Affection seems like it could have a viable trope in there (assuming we don't already have a trope for non-romantic affection — it seems like something we'd have but I can't think of any applicable tropes other than the only tangentially related Love You And Everybody), but what I'm thinking of wouldn't be very closely connected to what's on the page right now.
Asexuality covers something close. I think a trope for Platonic Love in general might be nice though. There's Like Brother and Sister, but that's a very specific type of love.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickSo redirect Perverse Asexual Cuddlelust and start Cuddle Bug. A Platonic Love supertrope would be a good place to put all the non-romantic relationship under. Should we also start a trope for Asexual Affection under Platonic Love?
I've never heard of "Cuddlebug", and no, not everything needs to be renamed because it's not the common wording.
Put a redirect.

There's also the dozens of stores and products named Cuddle Bug around for decades. I'm surprised you never heard of the term before.
Okay, then just "cuddlelust"? The "perverse asexual..." part is snowcloned from "perverse sexual..." (lust), it is awkward and short on (devoid of?) meaning.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Preverse should probably be removed.
Also, it should not be redirected to Moe, as Moe can generate perverse lust.
I think we need to at least keep Perverse Asexual Cuddlelust as a redirect since it's already been somewhat propagated. Or do one of those site-wide tag replacement (don't know how though). Still needs a rename though if we're keeping it.
Cuddle Bug is blue.

Suggest merging description/content (no examples) of Perverse Asexual Cuddlelust to Cuddle Bug, and making PAC a redirect to CB.

per·verse Adjective /pərˈvərs/
Synonyms: adjective: vicious, perverted
1. (of a person or their actions) Showing a deliberate and obstinate desire to behave in a way that is unreasonable or unacceptable, often in spite of the consequences Kate's perverse decision not to cooperate
2. Contrary to the accepted or expected standard or practice in two general elections the outcome was quite perverse
3. (of a verdict) Against the weight of evidence or the direction of the judge on a point of law
4. Sexually perverted.
Sexually perverse is not even close to the main meaning of perverse. Remember Most Tropers Are Young Nerds . Say "Well that's just perverse" to someone over the age of 25 and I feel it's unlikely their mind will just jump to 'sexually'.
Well, this is the problem I have with the trope name as is. To me, Perverse Asexual Cuddlelust suggests someone who wants to cuddle, say, a Tsundere (am I using that right?), where it would be highly inadvisable, or inappropriate, or some such thing.
I do like the other meanings of perverse, and I would hope that they don't die, which is why I made the post.
The first two thirds of the existing name are a contradiction. "Perverse" is immediately connected to sex in most people's minds. "Asexual" means "not sexual", resulting in a logical contradiction. The name has got to go. A logical contradiction that glaringly obvious has no place on any web site, let alone TV Tropes.

Accidental mistakes are forgivable, intentional ones are not.Cuddle Bug was just created on the 24th. It should just be cut.
And the crowner makes no sense, what does "with examples" mean?

Sorry. That's redundant with No Examples. Tropes that attract Natter and edit war often go with no examples.
As for the picture, I wasn't sure what would happen with Perverse Asexual Cuddlelust, so I just left them with the same image for now.

Crown Description:
What would be the best way to fix the page?

I assume that this is suppose to be a derivative of Perverse Sexual Lust. But I believe the more common term is the Cuddle Bug. So I propose renaming it and then adding some examples because right now, it's limited to Troper Tales.
