Fans of the
anime television show
Sailor Moon call themselves "
Moonies". This meaning of the term may be more common on the Internet.
"
Moonie" is also a
pejorative term[?] used to refer to members of the
Unification Church, derived from the name of Korean founder
Sun Myung Moon, who has declared himself "Messiah.". . After initially accepting this term, the Church now considers it offensive and has asked news organizations to stop using it.
